The key is that the raid only last one round, kill them all and go home.

@weddingsinger yeah, I did a huge air raid on Egypt and cleared the field for the Italians. On the other side, I’ve used planes from carriers off of w ger to hit the n Italian troops thus taking away the take back troops that rob the allies of keeping france.

Your turn.

btw, is there a way to edit mechs into battles when accompanying tanks?

@weddingsinger TRULPIN, DONT READ I keep hearing the refrain "against experienced players Russia will fall. against experienced players Bombay will fall. So I ask myself, what could Russia do really well and neither Jap nor Ger could stop. My answer right now is Scandinavia, China and keeping the Krauts distracted. It could devastate the Japanese efforts there and continue the flow of “free troops” into the region. I am combining that with US strat bombing of both capitals and convoying the Italians with the starter fleet, British Med/Middle East dominance. The allies might have game, so to speak. My purchases for the Brits and Americans have been carriers, bombers and fighters and 1 mech and 1 tank/turn for S.Africa.

@simon33 South America and Spain would get America real close…

The reactivation of France feels like the worst thing that can happen. It would make the Western front worth it economically. Alas, we play the game that is, not the game that we wish.

Since math says the Philippines is turn 6 plus at the earliest, I’m going to stick with strat bombing the capitals.
