We started a good thread on best uses of the bases and factories, here’s another set of suggestions for your playbook;
With 2 Airbases, you can create a Bastion where your fleet can hide. This is more of a desperate defensive measure but it is pretty effective, because the planes will be coming from somewhere else, you are adding 30 defensive TUV into the fight for only 15 TV. The planes will be split into two zones, not stacked, and carriers are more cost effective. If you don’t have any other ships, or you need to support land defense at the same time, this is an option. If you have any carriers, the # of planes that can potentially come is intimidating. I don’t think I’ve used this, but all the upper ones have been used against me.
North Italy AND South Italy @ 95 and 97
Germany and West Germany @ 113
Norweg + WG @ 112
Japan and Korea @ 6
there are others but they aren’t too useful or they require 2 built bases
Kwangsi + Siam @ 37
Gib + Morroco @ 91/92
EUS/CUS @ 101 I guess…
TJ/Alex + Egypt @ 98
Ceylon+India too expensive and easy to cap.
