@general-5-stars Heh heh more of a Busch Light guy :) had to make some concessions due to the aging process. : )

Personally I’m in favor of preemptive strike lol

Then bring on the Busch Wacker Elites !

[barnee]

@general-5-stars working on a Busch Stuka 6 Pack Formation. It’s showing promise. Number 6 seems to be the most fearless lol

[barnee]

@barnee initial results are inconclusive. Therefore Air Marshall Bud Light has ordered 12 sorties to thoroughly destroy the target

@barnee

I feel the same way too.

Awesome ! Just getting ready to start the test game. Been refreshing on Game Notes and was gonna hit the Strategy Guides next :)

[barnee]

@the-captain right on. Interesting. I always send or a build a CV for the Atlantic USA1. And JPN usually attacks by J2. Haven’t tried a J1 yet. I usually went J2 OOB as well.

Aren’t the U-Boats a major threat by the time USA focuses on the Atlantic ?

Anyway, good stuff to think about. Couple things I noticed in the Notes. Shouldn’t Marines Place at turn start, so as to be active that turn ?

A US Marine unit attacks at “3” when supported
by an artillery unit and is active in the same turn
as it is purchased – and is active until lost in
combat.

*Early 1941 Place New Units:

• 3 Infantry units in Western US are upgraded to US Marines
• 2 Transport units are placed in sz 10
• 1 Artillery unit is placed in Western US
• 3 Destroyer units are placed in sz 101*

A typo on “send” should be “sent” on Lend Lease.

Anyway Good Stuff ! I Dig It :)

@barnee

Hi barnee,

Thanks - I’ll correct the typo on sent:+1:

And - yes - the US Marines are active in the same turn they are purchased. In this example, since the US is not at War, I chose to place them in the Place New Units phase… assuming it would cause less confusion.

But I might have to correct this - since it could cause confusion anyway:relaxed:

@the-captain

Awesome! I love it! Are you planning to do a strategy guide for the 1943 edition? Thank you!

[barnee]

MacArthur unhappy but both Cavite and Clark are destroyed by USA

[barnee]

Singapore follows suit. Hong Kong Defiant
efiant

[The Captain]

@barnee

Yes - both Singapore and Kwangtung should have their naval bases destroyed, to slow down Japanese advance in the Pacific Ocean:+1:

This is part of the United Kingdom Strategic Plan.

The United Kingdom Strategy Guide is expected to be available with 2-3 weeks.

[General 6 Stars]

The norm barnee.

[barnee]

@the-captain yea I thought about it. Coulda got 1 less inf and Fort. It can’t reach India though. Probably shoulda dusted it too.

Germany gonna dust Normandy Factory next turn. Gonna keep the Base as I don’t see it really helping the Allies

Fun stuff.

Read through all the Strat Guides before the turn. Had to do some rule refresh but Commiesar Corps 1 is formed lol

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@barnee

Why did Japan invade French Indochina? It doesn’t seem like they are at war with the Western Allies yet. This denies you 10 IPCs.

[barnee]

@superbattleshipyamato123 i like to build a factory and air base on turn 2. But yea, it has it’s drawbacks as well

[barnee]

@barnee said in Strategy Guide Global 1940:

Germany gonna dust Normandy Factory next turn.

I misremembered the rules on this. I need to go underground turn 2 and then I can dust it turn 3. @The-Captain is that right ?

[General 6 Stars]

Tsk tsk. Was there a underground factory in fic in war ?

[barnee]

@general-5-stars heh heh nah this one in Normandy. Don’t want Uncle Sam getting his hands on it

[General 6 Stars]

But I got commandos to destroy before you.
