So iv’e heard alot about a german navy. if i wanted to just build up a minor navy, to control the atlantic what would be crucial to have. (LHTR)?
i dont exactly see why an AC is that important, id rather get wolf packs or destroyers. what do you guys say.
are you playing with N/A?

I’ve always enjoyed alot of tanks, with the occasional bomber to raid russias IC’s
as iv’e played (with fairly unproductive opponents in my opinion) germany will hold off russia for a few turns. and invade UK if opportunity presents itself( once had him attack with all of his planes, which he had been constantly purchasing, and a mass majority of them died in AA then the rest from r1 of combat ) meanwhile J1 attack hawaii and exapand in mainland, J2 attack and conquer East US and continue expansion in mainland. J3 invade russia with tanks and planes(get his 4 xtra units out of the way first) then blitz through russia slowly crippling. also slowly crippling US (not able to invade germany due to threat by me ) so on and so forth.
I note that you mentioned that you believed you had fairly unproductive opponents. Frankly, if the US player lost Eastern US on J2, they are not “unproductive”, unless by “unproductive”, you mean horribly bad. The only reason for losing even Western US on J2 would be the destruction of at least three of Japan’s battleships and carriers, plus fighters and transports, plus retake from Central US or Western Canada or Mexico on the following turn.
yes they are horribly bad. so what would be a better way to take it if he actually reinforced it?wait till J3 with around 5trns and the remains of my fleet and navy.

well, the pay isn’t much but it helps. i like to be in the 100-300k area. that way, just cast summon golden saint, soul trap, enchant constant on a ring or silk pants/brocade shirt. or even weapons. although i am having trouble finding a fortify skill spell.
i love it too. beat the main quest and am moslty collecting legendary items.
my favorite guild is the Morag Tong (assasin guild) although when you become grandmaster of the guild, dont killl Eno, he’s supposed to give you a really nice dagger. well if you need help or anything…
hmm… thats too bad that the IC’s can only put out as many units as the place is worth in IPC, and that only one AA is active at a time. Are you sure? because it is really nice to be able to roll 16 die against a Japan air strike. (4 die per plane). (can someone cite these rules from the book, not LHTR, we dont play LHTR)
also i think that russia shouldn’t really be worrying too much about supporting UK. and worry more about the impending japan strike. move R1 move kazakh and copuntry above that into Siankang and move rest of infantry to the pacific border to with japan. moving forces into siankang is helpful to slow japans conquering of china.
and as for canada, i might prefer in western canada to help US hold out on japans blitz into west US J2
(playing with NA) normally i would place my IC in india with my AA.
so far i have reinforced it with 6 Armor
3 Armor, 3AA (very nasty for japan)
and i was thinking about 10 Infantry to sustain damage till my next turn
is there a better way to reinforce it? should i place my IC somewhere else?
i dont know about you but BB are way too expensive for what they have. sure they hit on a 4, and can take two hits, but i dont think its quite worth it to spend that much moolah on one boat. i would much rather have 2 destroyers than one BB in my naval fleet.
EX: i have 10inf in western US. can i use their combat move into the central US, then in non-combat move them again into Eastern US,
or
can they only make a combat move if they are combating?
also can transports load/unload during non-combat move phase?
thank you.
so trns can fire on a passing fighter? with AA(one die per fgtr) or one die?
if there is an equality of skill, then all that is left is the luck of the roll.
well then. lets hope he doesn’t hit and we do. 
although destroyers are nice to be able to prevent them from submerrging.
i conccur with outsidelime… :mrgreen: yea!
so wait! (responding to 1st page) air craft carriers can carry 3 plane squdrons?
OK. it seems as though you guys almost touched everyhting ecept for submarines submerging.
@ncscswitch:
2. The enemy forces consist exclusively of submerged submarines.
does this mean i can submerge my subs at the end of my turn so that they stay hidden?
isee… well you made your point on the navy issue.
thanks for the input on the different q’s. now about LHTR, is there a place were these rules are entirely laid out? what are the main differences? why would you use LHTR as opposed to original rules?
why would a destroyer make a difference.(his or mine?) they only negate subs special abilities, so i cant submerge if i was using a sub. but i left that general. for all we know im traveling with 20 Battle Boats.
another thing. can i submerge subs in my noncombat step to avoid combat for the next few turns? if so then i understand your direction. but ive always played you only submerge after opening fire step, then submerge then resuface after battle is concluded
ok so ive heard alot of things latly, and i need some clarifaction
1.can i target? when?
2.what are dive bombers? ther purpose?
3.i thought kaiten torpedos could only be used defending
4.why did they have to take out trade routes for the ocean? now theres really not much of a point to own a navy.
Lets say that there is a sub in zone B. i am in zone A and wish to get to zone C. can i travel through seazone B from A to get to C, with out combating the sub in seazone B? or can i not occupy the same seazone as my enemies ever?
yes, but then again dont forget about japans lightning assault. ex. move TRNS from japan to midway assault move two spaces and assault eastern us. or from japan move two spaces south across asian border assault india then move two again and your practically to africa. if played right jpans transports can cover 6 spaces in one turn(lightnin assault then non-combat move)
now im sure that since its newer, morrowind IV Oblivion is probably going to show up… but i really only want to talk about Morrowind III the ELder scrolls. ive been playing this for a while and in my opinion morrowind is the BEST roleplaying game out there. what are your thoughts?
i also enjoy backgammon alot. i havent really taught that many other people, but its nice to go back to classics, with reverting to chess. (i beat my dad twice in a row, he always wants a rematch that i gleefully decline)
ialso enjoy ALL versions of RISK, but godstorm is probably my least favorite, and 2010AD is probably my favorite. (havent tried star wars… it doesn’t look appetizing)
also heroscape is pretty fun, a freind of mines got it and play every once in a while.
me and my cousin are also creating a game at the moment, its a mixture of all our game-playing pleasures, you’ll know it when it gets published. thik of a complictaed HUge game of catan, with armies that attack each other, and heroes and things like warhammer. im think the way its developing, its like a rolplaying game of conquest.
HECK YA!
