I generally don’t build up my navy. Italy starts with so little money that its hard to do. There’s also little that Italy can do if the Allies decide to focus on your navy and take it out. There is simply nothing that Italy can buy to prevent it. I’d rather not risk losing that money on a sinking ship. I focus on landing as much into Africa as I can before my navy gets whacked. Hopefully that means I’m cashing in around Africa once that has happened.

I guess by the responses I have read it is unanimous, Italy is better as a seperate entity mainly due to the added possibilities that it creates and the overall strategy changes it allows from both sides.
The other thing I really do like is that with 6 countries it is axis then allies turns rotated so as to not have two allied turns back to back. It is harder to double team that way.
Thank you every one for your thoughts. 8-)

I think this is interesting, but I am curious to see how this changes with different IPC amounts. Did you choose 120 because it factorability (it’s a word, now)? What would happen if you use 36 IPC?

Do built sea units placed in a sea zone with enemy sea units cause a battle?

That makes it a lot easier to block ICs from producing sea units, Sea Zones 5, 56, and 62 in particular. More importantly, it makes Subs more effective at blocking those zones, because they get to use their higher attack value, and also be reinforced by air/naval units.

Another situation would be if Germany put a sub in each sea zone around the UK. If Britain puts a Destroyer in each zone to counter, then Germany sends its airforce, while using the Subs as fodder.

I am curious how Italians view the addition of Italy to AA50..

Corsica was Vichy, but in 1942 Hitler got pissed off and took alot of their allowance away because they kept waving white flags when the Allies attacked them. Corsica was administered by Germany but its really in the Italian sphere of influence.

i know its nov 42, but still close enough… if your more of a purist then just give Sardinia 1 IPC but call the actual land territory

“Sardinia
Corsica”

@a44bigdog:

I could see a problem with this on the board as we have two set ups for the game. Besides does it take that long to learn the set ups? I never look at the cards anymore when I resent my revised board.

You have a good point there, Bigdog. Having the map preprinted with setups when you have two different set ups could lead to some confusion.

@Krieghund:

@captainjack:

@Krieghund:

@Corbeau:

Submarine: Can only be shot if there is a destroyer present in opposing fleet

Subs can only be hit by planes if there is a friendly destroyer in the battle. Ships can hit subs anytime.

Really!? I didn’t realize that. So not even a DD can hit a sub??

You should read what you quoted again.

WOW!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I can’t tell you how many times I read that line and what my eyes kept seeing was “ships can’t hit subs anymore”
HAHAHA… oops.

@Adlertag:

@italiansarecoming:

i would choose 1 bship 2 cruisers and 3 destroyers

I think the perfect fleet would be 1 Battleship, 2 Carriers with 4 fighters, 4 cruisers, 4 destroyers, 8 subs and x trannies (depending of what ocean you are in) against an enemy fleet of 2 subs and 6 trannies. This is my kind of numbers, if I am going to attack anybody.

@Adlertag:

@italiansarecoming:

Trannies dont protect anyone no more they are fish in the sea that now need to be defended or a free kill yes!
