I’m having to adjust my strategic objectives. Previously it has been 1. Atlantic 2. London 3. Moscow 4. Egypt 5 Bombay. In that order. I’m considering switching to 1. Atlantic 2. Moscow 3. Egypt 4. Bombay 5. London. My reasoning is that if I have control over the Atlantic, London should be an easier rescue than Moscow because of the proximity.
Also, in my argumentum ad absurdum experimentation, I have tried abandoning Bombay. I’m playing a game right now with myself where I abandoned Hono and save Sidney and Bombay. I’m considering a game where I abandon Moscow. People say Moscow will fall to a Ger who knows what he’s doing. So why not try a game where you just don’t care. Instead you use the resources available to make significant gains. Just a thought. Worth a computer sim at least, if not a triplea game. I’ll call it my crazy ivan.
