Review of my first played Global War 1936 V. 3 game
-
@chris_henry @chris_henry yea the Comintern is fun because you can play either side / stay neutral (potentially) . My highlight with the Comintern was hitting a neutral Romania in July ‘39 and then yugo the next turn and northern Italy and Rome in the subsequent turns!
-
@bretters Hitting Romania in that way is definitely something I was wanting to do as well! I know it’s not an uncommon thing to do, but I think it still catches the Axis a bit off guard when it’s done haha.
-
@chris_henry I’ve been the only person to hit Romania in our group of 5 …
-
@bretters That surprises me a bit! I think when I first got the game I would have balked at making that move. But the more we’ve played, and I’ve read strategies on the boards here, I think it’s a very viable option. Maybe not necessarily a guarantee you have to do it every game in order to do well, but I think it’s one that should totally be on the table by anyone playing them!
-
@chris_henry yea next game I play at the Comintern I do want to prioritize attacking Romania in July 39 (if not aligned to Germany yet) and to attack other neutrals adjacent to me so as to not invoke the possibility (justification) for the allies to declare war on me (like I did before when I attacked Italy after going through Romania) and if war erupts between Germany and I , at least I will have taken Romania from them ($9 swing) -$3 NO for Germany $3 territory and don’t forget about the units Romania gets if they align the country … .
-
@bretters Totally agree! It’s something I would need to debate in game if I want to risk however many troops it might take to defeat Romania. But just as you said though, taking it at the very least robs Germany of those units to do with as he pleases, and it does give a small economic boon for a while there!
-
@chris_henry russia can put its whole force or most of its force against Romania in July '39 its not a big risk to attack it based on the combat against the neutral troops alone.
-
@bretters Very true. I just meant if like maybe the Soviets had already attacked Finland or something, and lost too many troops and were now worried about the Germans. Something like that. But yeah, I think there’s a lot of instances where attacking a neutral Romania early on can make a ton of sense!
-
@chris_henry July ‘39 is the first turn Russia can make an attack …. So it’s not a question of if you have attacked Finland or not … you decide how you attack on your first opportunity…. And you need to attack Romania while it’s neutral before it turns German, so if you aren’t attacking in July ‘39 I don’t see it happening.
-
@bretters Oh true! Sorry, wasn’t thinking about that part of it!
