Unit placement question

DF is correct.  And that is true for both OOB and LHTR rules.

I see. Well, usually I find that the Japanese need their fighters to make the threat on Moscow real. If I thought I could afford the Japanese fighters that far off to the German capital, that would probably mean I think I’ve already won the game.  :lol:

Thing is once you send the Japanese fighters there, that’s all they’re going to be good for, defense. Can’t reach Moscow for an attack, and you can’t really release them from there or Germany will collapse immediately : (

to keep it simple

submarine fires in opening-fire, all the time
hence it gets to fire regardless

@sanya33:

1. you can mobilze only a number of units up to the income value of that territory. does this include land units only? or air and sea units as well?

It includes all units.

@sanya33:

2. can defending planes retreat ?

No.  The only thing close to a retreat for defending planes occurs when their carrier is sunk out from under them.  If the fighters survive the combat, either because the attacker retreats or is destroyed, they must find a place to land within one space or be lost.

Thank you for that Grime, saved me the effort 🙂

Great.  thank you !!

Or put in other terms,
who cares about those who’s only comments have some lame excuse blaming different ideas and trying to make a bogus illusion of connection of these ideas and players who don’t understand the game over and over again?

A)  As for the submarines, part 1 applies.  Let the submarines die so your surface ship gets more shots at the British air force (which I view as their navy, given that they are an island.)

B)  Given the location of Western Europe, leaving the fighters there makes the best sense.  They prevent the British from landing (and the Americans in round 2+) while still being used to pound the Russians.  Again, part 1 applies until Japan is in position to take over, then Part 2.  4 Ground units should be fine round 1, but review the board each round and up the defense as needed.

C) In general, keep parts 1 and 2 in your mind and act accordingly to the position on the board.  If you need to pull of Russia and start turtling in round 5, do it.  If you dont need to until round 7, then dont.  But certain things always apply:

1)  never let the Allies have Western Europe.
2)  Never let the Allies get Southern Europe
3)  Is self explanatory, derive from 1 and 2.
4)  Geramny’s goal is to inflict damage, Japan’s goal is to take Russia.  Not a hard and fast rule, but a good guideline.
5)  If you go navy with Germany, you will have to keep building up to keep it.  Personally, I dont recommend it unless you are strong with Japan.
6)  Tanks are good defenders.  I like stacks of 5 or 6 infantry and a tank in forward areas against the Russians.  It’s big enough that Russia has to invest heavily in winning, but small enough that Germany can recover the losses. (It’s economics, like the cold war.  Spend them into submission!)
