RUSSIA T1:
They usually destroy both baltic ships with fighters, leave 3 or so inf in the caucasus, and stack all available inf in karelia (placing the 8 they buy also). Consolidate their force in asia either in yakut or mongolia for some reason…occasionally will try to reinforce sinkiang in hopes of building an IC as the americans. Leaves transport with UK battleship, attacks west europe sub with sub.
Russia makes 24
Big mistake not to attack ukraine. Also try manchuria (uk get’s kwang). People will argue against it, but top players do it. Otherwise, that’s about right.
@Lan:
GERMANY T1:
I buy 10 inf
attack british sub with battleship and transport, loaded with 2 guys from italy. These 2 inf and the tank and inf in libya attack egypt. Sub attacks US transport. Fighter in western europe attacks british transport in labrador sea. 3 fighters and bomber in europe attack UK fleet. Consolidate my inf and armor in eastern europe.
Germany makes 35
I consider this move decent actually, i reject attacking the us transport, i’d rather see it go as fodder in the north sea but this depends. Also with 10 infantry build, you will lose your med fleet, and without a bid in africa, you will lose it. Have you considered 1 sub 8 infantry?
@Lan:
UK T1:
usually sends fighters to aid karelia, sends bomber against one of my factories. Buys fighters and maybe some infantry
UK makes 27
WHAT!!! here is the big mistake, don’t bomb the factory, attack german med fleet with bomber, fighter battleship sub if it’s alive, and/or attack egypt transporting men off of india. If germany has 2 units on egypt you should certainly do both. Otherwise you can save the battleship, and only hit egypt allowing for 3 transports 2 men build. If russia did manch, then just kill the fleet, and hit kwang. Don’t build fighters until you have established a minimum of 3 transports, I have only recently heard of building fighters as uk this way, I recommend building 4 and moving in 8 infantry a turn to karelia/africa…
if you don’t save the bb, build carrier transport man.
@Lan:
JAPAN T1:
buy an IC and 2 tanks
attack china with inf in kwangtung and manchuria, attack india with inf from phillipines and burma. use fighters and bombers from wherever necessary to reinforce these fights this part of the game usually changes a lot, the basic idea is to take a strategic area like india, china, sinkiang or even mongolia, while having at least one territory worth 3 well out of reach of the enemy Use carrier fighter and 2 battleships to attack americans at pearl harbor II. Place IC in kwantung usually, provided nobody can get at it…. Japan ends this turn making 30 usually
I don’t like this strategy much. First of all I love it when the phil trn goes to india. The uk bombers is in kenya (or italian east africa!) So the transport is wasted. Also industry first turn i don’t agree with. and why 2 tanks. You only have 2 transports, and you are throwing one away? build 2 transports 3 men.
@Lan:
US T1:
Buy ships to replace its sunken fleet… attack japanese fleet with fighters, bomber, battleship, send transport to alaska to be used with future sneakiness. Place most ships in pacific (for some reason…he alternates between working on japan and germany it seems).
replace sunken fleet. try not attacking japan with the usa. Try 3 transports 4 men the first turn, placed in e us sz, if the german bomber is in western europe, you could try 4 transports. Don’t send battleship to alaska send it to panama, block with transport.
The most important thing, play the allies more!! If you do this they can use your strategies against you I guess… Also a tip for usa: build men in eusa, and move them to ecanada, then each turn you can move there, load them and drop them in finland. It’s good to have about 5 us transports doing this, thus +10 infantry in russia each turn from usa, and +8 from uk.
Sorry if i sound harsh, just trying to help!
