@govz ever thought of going via Wake? A NB there gives you 2 ways to reach SZ6 and you can easily go back to Queensland.

@andrewaagamer hi Andrew,
Thanks for this clear Manuel.
Do you play with the US in a more KJF strategy, so investing +75% of your income in the pacific or is a KGF the way the go and is your Manuel here a “just in case you wanne try-out something different and go for KJG”?

@thedesertfox your fighter cannot attack Hunan and fly to suiyan because in total that would be a total of 5 movements…

@thedesertfox you have a link to the video of the Corporal?

@thedesertfox can you elaborate on your combineren UK ANZAC fleet strategy?
What do you buy for each country and what are the moves?

@superbattleshipyamato in theorie they did a KGF but in reality much more resources were Sent to the Pacific. Plus we can´t forget that the US production was in comparison to AAA waaaay larger.

@crockett36 very interesting interview, well done!

@8d88 you´re not Belgian i assume?
I´ve played almost every version in real life and on Triple A.
Tomorrow we´re playing global 39 version by HBG.
You´re up for a game of global 40 in real life some day?

@8d88 hallo, ik ben van Willebroek. Welke versies speel je online? Wij spelen global 1940 2nd edition.

@gunnastunna93 nope. Where did you hear that?
Maybe part of the Gibastion move?

@crockett36 i made a topic on that here on the forum, it´’s still on the first page here.

@superbattleshipyamato correct but at war US can use this base.

@crockett36 Samoa for the US.

@frankmac4 you best help China by sending some fast movers to Yunnan to boost Chinese defensie.

@klaaslolkema hoe ver van Antwerpen schat je?

@klaaslolkema Hey Klaas, vanwaar ben je, regio Antwerpen of Brussel?

@argothair attack Fleet around Malta with cruiser and fighter and put DD around Greece so the italian fleet can´’t reach egypt. Send UK fihters of Londen via West Afrika to Egypt (UK2 you can have 5 fighters there).

@argothair thanks for the considerations. It is indeed not a game winning move but keeps the fun in it.

Funny you Mention Wake bc that was my starting point from which i came to Samoa.
I´ve done that a few times.
US1 you can gather your entire pacific fleet and fighters (incl the ones in Philip) and the Anzac cruiser (no anzac fighters allowed).
The big problem is yes you can get to Sz6 easily but Sz6 is often a trap bc Japan can throw everything to attack you there.
It can idd be a start for an island hopping strategy towards the mainland (killen Jap factories).

@barnee @crockett36
No Line is not within 3 spaces of the East Coast.
What do you think of the general idea? Surprising the axis and still being able to switch to europe

@argothair @crockett36 @simon33

For years we have been switching between KGF and KJF as Allies. Building on East or West as US side gives away your initial plans off course.
Building in S-Francisco is giving Japan a heads up to start preparing for a naval clash with US.

This is a brainfart:

As US you built for three turns 100% on the East coast (carriers, DD, tpt,…) as if you were preparing for a KGF, forcing italy and Ger to prepare and makingJapan believe they free reign. The Pacific fleet shucks troops to Hawaii as normal. On US3 you send everything (Eur and Pac) to Samoa. It can be reached from New York, Hawaii and S-Fr. UK Pacific builts a Naval base there UK3 (they need to save their income).

From there you are one turn away from Queensland and thus the money islands are in reach. All reinforcements can come via a built on the East via Samoa to Queensland coast so your supply lines are safe from SZ6. And you can switch to a KGF easily.

Did it once and it surprised the Axis player like hell. Unfortunately systematic bad dice shred allied play so no matter the strategy, it was a lost game so no valid after action review possible.

@simon33 ok good argument. So you would search the fight with Germany and sandbagging Egypt against italy.

@simon33 ok good argument. So you would search the fight with Germany and sandbagging Egypt against italy.

@simon33 idd you don´’t have to Defend algeria but take the fight . he can take you out in 2 rounds of combat if you stack: 2 cruisers, carrier with in totaal 5 fighters. Let´’s say the DD is blocking the italian fleet.
Losing all that for 7 fighters. I don´’t know if that is worth it giving the Italians free reign in the Med. The few times he did attack me the axis won bc it toon forever containing Italy.

If he does not attack then he will probably stick around mainland italy slowly building up fleet. If he goes to Egypt/transjordan then your ships in the Red sea can´t join the fight but idd you can attack him with pure air bc he will Block you with a DD at Malta.

@Argothair
Of course you can keep your fighters on London and buy 6inf plus fighter. The goal is to send fighters asap to Egypt to A) fight of the italians and B) move on to Moscow. We generaly built an Airbase on Egypt UK2 and draw the carrier plus the Pacific fleet in the Med. Depriving Italy from its Egypt ambitions.
We tried Gibastion a few times but it requies two Tpt to secure Algeria and in the long run it´’s not worth it bc italy can on I1 land in Middle East or take and reinforce Alexandria.

Tobruk strafe is an option but without the tpt it´s unlikely to take it wirh UK but you can strafe it.
You have somthinh like 55% of really winning.

@argothair sea Lion is idd a treath. But when US is full prepared to retake it, the long term effect for Ger is negatieve. I´ve done sea lion before against the London calling and in the long run you can hold it but overinvest so USSR becomes a monster.
