@AaronConnor Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

What does Germany build or is bringing in to Medd? What is UK doing with the 2nd fighter , et al? UK placing any tanks in India? what do they place?

ON uk 1, establish your fleet if possible ( CV, 2 DD builds-placed with AP w 2 fighters at upper left sea zone) if not you can bring the fleet past the canal ( unless he took Levant States) That alone stops he BB and AP from invasion-but you need 2 fighters on CV.

Take out the Japanese AP that’s in range of India with the CA and or the Fighter, so you can bring 2 men to Egypt, but build 2 tanks in India to eventually replace them, bring up the infantry on the right side of Afrika. ( not left).

You could build in South Afrika ( not my choice, but its usually out of range of German Bombers…

@Krieghund

As always: thanks for your fast replies!
We played AAZ1942SE tonight. And we had fun! Still had some questions regarding US setup. Will come back to that.
But we had a fun evening. And a lot of unexpected stuff happened. That is part of AAZ. Some may not like that. And that is of course fully OK!

Zombies makes it much easier for Sea Lion, it’s not a cake walk, but more doable. Because of the position of UK ships against Germany and because Germany goes before UK, Germany can effectively destroy UK’s navy. It also takes US two turns to reach London while Germany can do it in one and UK only produces 4 units against Germany’s 7 with 5 of that being on Germany itself. If Germany is able to wall zombies against USSR, it makes Germany using Sea Lion more doable.
