General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game

@gen-manstein

Well it was interesting in that you said I should have 3 transports groups of 5 transports. I had 3 groups of 4 and could not have spent a single more ipc on them because I only had minimal air and minimal navy. If Germany would have had any more air he could have destroyed the fleet. So I don’t know where and or HOW I was going to get MORE to Europe than I already had. I was getting about 40-50 a turn from Ryan and 80 on like turn 4. I am curious on how you would go about getting 3 groups of 5 trans, navy, air and ground units?? The ipcs to do so just aren’t there. Unless you abandon the Pacific and you don’t want that to happen either. You just can’t have it both ways. Just saying.

3 more transports is 21 icps. Couple bombers from pacific. Your 40 -50 goes to 50-60.
Sometimes best to not attack German fleet.

Keep in mind first time u played on that side.
You can get away with another 80 on a turn.
If US had more money then one side will get even more and then one axis wins all the time.
Goal is to make US split there money more evenly but still spend a bit more on one side but not for every turn.

Yup, understand it was only 21 ipcs… But it doesnt allow the USA to have any type of air force that it actually had in the war. I mean I couldn’t even think of having a bombing force or a large navy. USA is really cash strapped. I understand you are trying to balance the game the problem I have is that Germany is so large numbers wise in comparison to actual history compared to the USA and the UK.

Ya I get that but the axis were stronger on the map at that game time frame.

We could do minor setup tweak on Europe side but I need Justin’s input based on he has no problem landing and getting Paris. If u give US to much there on setup who’s to say it won’t go to other side ? That’s why there’s a rule in game at only on turn 1 can you move pieces from pacific to Atlantic or vice versa.

Ok. Changed my user name.
Next game just a 39 icp pieces added to setup for US. Couple inf swapped with art in Norway and 3 territory in Europe on coast for Germany
Tacs can scramble against lone subs attacking now.

@general-5-stars What good are “Bunkers” they take one hit and don’t move or attack or defend . Shouldn’t you just buy infantry instead?
