RE: Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact
But my point is what does the Soviet union do in the meanwhile. Can it attack anyone, and can Germany not go to war with the Soviet Union? This is what i was aiming at.
After 4 rounds Russia is at war arent they?

RE: Euro40 Starting fleets
nice thinking, looks like it very well could be around those numbers, if thats close to Germany’s starting navy we will be pouring IPC’s into the Kriegsmarine for a Sealion. I guess we just have to wait & see.

RE: Operation Sealion a Possibility with AA1940 Europe?
You think that France is going to fall that easily? Didn’t they have troops in Africa
Larry said France will fall regardless, it just might take an extra turn if the dice arent on your side.

RE: Operation Sealion a Possibility with AA1940 Europe?
Was reading a thread where larry said that if Russia isn’t at war by collect income phase on the 4th turn i believe then she will be at war with Germany. So this means 4 turns to gear up fo a sealion ,and crush France .!!EDIT!!- in the FAQ pg.3 reply #43

RE: Do you want canada as a power
would certianly make for a fun house rule but where would they fit in? like who would they go after?
They could/would go after the Germans in game terms i suppose,as they wouldn’t be doing much in the Pacific besides air crews and some naval personnel.
places to go-Hong Kong, Sicily, Italy, Dieppe, Normandy,southern France, Canadians fought for all of them.
And I believe by war’s end they had the 3rd largest navy.

Not enough Stukas I’m sure.

RE: What was the best all-purpose tank of WWII?
IMHO the Germans would have to throw this one in the mix. Panzer IV.
Slow production of the Panzer IV had been continuing, by the end of 1940 386 Ausf. Ds were in service and in 1941 a further 480 were produced, this was despite an order from the army for 2,200. The short 75 mm gun was the main advantage of the Panzer IV, weight and armour were close to that of the Panzer III. The Panzer IV became the most numerous tank of the Panzer divisions, although already outclassed in 1942 it was easy to maintain and simpler to produce than other German tanks. The Ausf. E was the major production variant, although the Ausf. F2 (later renamed in Ausf. G) with a long high velocity gun was the most impressive performer. First introduced in 1940 the 22 ton machine was progressively improved, with the addition of the L/43 gun the most significant change - it could penetrate 80 mm of armour at 1800 m. Later variants further improved the gun to a 75 mm L/48 but were mainly characterised by increasing the main armor and adding spacer and skirt armor to protect against anti-tank weapons. Zimmerit paste, to prevent magnetic charges attaching was also introduced on the Panzer IV. About 12,000 Panzer IV tanks (derived chassis included) were produced during the war, more than twice as many as the next tank.

RE: What country had the best trained infantry in WWII?
@Brain:
yeah, I was thinking Germany as well, but I wasn’t sure if it was because of the superior weapons.
Better weapons (in some cases)
Better training
Highly motivated
And in the pre-war years the Germans had been training their Citizens in worker camps which taught them basic Infantry doctrines and discipline. The German infantry had been training for years before they were even enlisted, who said experience doesn’t pay off. -

RE: Manchuria in the Global game
Let’s just say that it tends to be in both Japan’s and the USSR’s best interests to honor the non-aggression treaty, at least initially.
Awesome thanks Krieg. :-)
