MOVED: How to know when to buy air as Germany

@SS-GEN thanks!

@kipster:

The rulebook says that units cannot move into unoccupied hostile territories during the noncombat move phase. Is there any way to conquer an unoccupied hostile territory without blitzing?

Just move an infantry/artillery to the territory during combat move phase.

gotta qualify this if you want answers.  better for whom?  Whats the situation and early or late game?

@Malekith:

Just wondering: I didnt think you could put troops on a ship and off load on same turn? Or am I misunderstanding? Or is this a new rule, I have the 2007 version with no cruisers

@Derek77:

As far as Germany turn one is concerned, I think a lot of players use the battleship to kill the med destroyer and land 2 units in Egypt with the transport from Italy and kill Egypt turn one with one plane from Balkans and 2 units adjacent to Egypt.  The one game I didn’t do this, the allies made short work of me……  the med cruiser can be killed with just planes.

You could always do that.

@manincellv:

It is not worth getting without Italy.  Italy has set the standard now.  Its not a real A&A game without it.

Yes. Italy is awesome.
