@crockett36 what do you all think?

[Nolimit]

@crockett36 Offhand it looks good!

[crockett36]

@nolimit Thanks No Limit!

[trulpen]

Sorry, have to be honest and won’t use any silk lining. I think that with the JDOW1 it’s suicide to leave the Pac. J will simply explode into a frenzy Godzilla. The fleet has far less use in the Atlantic right now, especially since the threats are low there. Since UK shuts down Italy, there’s no crucial need of US stepping in with more than necessary.

US really needs to get in there and suppress Japan before it’s too late. Remember, if you let J run amok, it’s game over. Axis only need 6 VC in the Pacific theatre.

I believe you have enough force to stack in z54 right off the bat.

Leaving a tr exposed in z26 is not a trap, it’s just a lost tr. US should rather protect their trannies. Takes a lot of time getting units into the Pac, especially amphi-forces, so that tempo is worth quite a lot.

Doing both Taranto and Tobruk is brave, but if you can pull it off it’s great! I’m thinking that it might be a bit too much though.

What we really want here is to make the crucial attacks as solid as possible. I’d say the main focus is to take out the italian navy and limit the possibilities of amphibious attacks.

The attack on Tobruk is not as crucial, but taking out that force can wait. I believe the fig and tac have better use in z97. Think the chance of a scramble is low with the current setup, but with the tac you’re on power 24 and can expect 4 hits. A scramble is then definitely out of the question. If no tac Italy has a 5 IPC better outcome with a scramble than no scramble.

I suggest the fig from Gibraltar to boost the attack on z96 and land on Malta. One fig from Scotland can replace it in z97.

I think it’s better to take out Ethiopia this turn with 2 inf, 1 art, 1 mech, 1 fig, 1 cr.

Definitely do not attack Iraq this turn. Especially not via an amphi, since the offloaded land-units are locked into the battle. That means they can’t retreat and you’ll either lose them or take Iraq, which we prefer to hand over to the ruskijs. Annexing Persia in NCM also gives 2 IPC income and also boosts with 2 inf, preparing the attack for next turn.

I’ll post the suggested changes.

[trulpen]

The thing with z97 is that UK would prefer not having to take any hits on the ac, so this makes things shakier than what the calculator suggests.

[trulpen]

You also do not want to move away the air from Calcutta, if possible. It will be needed when contesting J in the area.

[trulpen]

Oh, missed the tr in z71. Then Ethiopia is very safe.

[trulpen]

I see something else now as well when looking at Asia. I would stack Yunnan with all we got. Max the chinese. Land the fig in Burma. Get the UK in with all its got and maybe also some or all of the russian air (which I think was better in Caucasus, as I suggested earlier; still would both reach Yunnan and pressure Iraq from there).

[trulpen]

Don’t agree with the US-purchase at all. Will redo that as well in the suggestion. Of course, do with all of this as you please.

[trulpen]

Don’t see the point of going with the tr to z87, but I think it should go to z91 together with the fleet, unloading 2 inf to Gibraltar.

US will scare away the subs from z106, so perhaps another purchase as well? 1 sub (z109), 1 fig (London), 1 mIC (Cairo).

Take Persia with 1 art from Calcutta. Move everything into Burma.

[crockett36]

@trulpen So I hate the 54 stack idea. Lots of money. no way to catch up. Andrews words not mine. So we will go with my no free lunch strategy in the N Pac. This is composed of a harassing of Japan’s homeland. This does not have to be effective. It only has to drain resources from Calcutta. The three transports and units in and around Japan are supposed to go south. This draws him north and bleeds the army.

If he ignores it, we unite with the Russian army and bomb Japan itself, eventually invading Manchuria and head for the nearest victory city.

The European adventure is still on. Join with the British navy and cruise through the Med to the Indian Ocean where we will oppose our enemy and support the British recapture of India by isolating the occupying force t5.

Again commanders, Australia can either have 5 of my fighters and two ground units to shore up their defensive capabilities or we can go no free lunch in the north pacific. In Europe Task for ce ginger is committed. work around this strategy. US will make it’s move tonight.
