Sea zone 126 and Finland

@shadowhawk

Agreed.

@simon33:

UK taking Norway if it doesn’t hold it for a turn doesn’t rob Germany of any income.

If Norway is empty and the British ships are safe and have nothing better to do, I’d still take it with 1 inf. It’s worth 3 which already pays for an inf that probably wasn’t doing much in the UK anyway and now has a 1 in 3 chance of killing an enemy unit when attacked. Also, Germany will want it back so they will send at least 2 ground units which won’t be going east, and they need to protect their transports in SZ 113 from UK-based Allied bombers, or maybe even tacs/fighters if the UK has a CV.
And once Germany has retaken it, why not try again and kill those units on the next UK turn and force them to invest again to keep Norway.

lol.  It actually benefited you much more than me… you should thank me for not knowing the rules!  :-D

@oysteilo:

Does this work? and it is worth the spending of a minor, carrier and transport?

yes, it might work somehow.
And No, it is miles away from being worth those 35 IPCs. Against a good Allies player that move brings Axis to the certain road of defeat.

Morning Knp.
The Italians had no inclination to fight the British and even less the Americans, when they joined the war.
There was also a massive class divide between Officers and the enlisted man. This made morale very low and did not help create a fighting force. Italians were happy to be left alone.
The Italian army was also a foot one. Hardly any units were motorised and that would prove a problem in the vast expanses of desert and the seesaw nature of the campaign.
The British were lucky when they attacked in Dec of 1940 as they had only had limited objectives. The advance was so uncontested, that they kept going until they had Benghazi and Tobruk.
Being Italian, I love to laugh at my WW2 army’s dismal performances and unwillingness to throw their lives away for someone else’s glory.
When the Italians switched sides, however, things got very bloody as civil war broke out amongst the Fascists and Communists. Many Italians proved they were not afraid of dying once they had a real cause and future in which they believed.
My dad’s dad was in Africa, Russia and later ran and hid from the Fascists in Tuscany.

Just played a game of Global A&A today. I played Japan and Italy, and a friend of mine played germany. I (being used to europe 1940 A&A) said sea lion is a money trap. Now in my opinion sea-lion is twice as effective as a Russian attack, this is because it can eliminate a major allied power very soon in the game. On the other hand if Russia is invaded, than it can offer two quick VCs to the axis cause where a sea-lion would only offer one. So my opinion is split. The one thing I can agree with is that Sea-lion is very viable plan to destroy the allies unlike the lack of time in Europe because of the undivided american attention.

No. Krieg has answered this already

As far as I am correct: Yes, you are correct. 1 NB can service multiple SZ’s, when all of those SZ’s are adjacent to the territory containing a NB.
