I figure there aren’t too many things classified as Islands that would have air bases so far away as to make them invulnerable to shore bombardment. The air fields on Guadalcanal and Wake island certainly got hit and both Hickam and Pearl could be hit from the sea. By definition, this ability assumes no defenders. Even a single scrambling fighter or defending destroyer nullifies the ability.

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:
-
Awesome! I love it! Are you planning to do a strategy guide for the 1943 edition? Thank you!
-
MacArthur unhappy but both Cavite and Clark are destroyed by USA
-
Singapore follows suit. Hong Kong Defiant
efiant -
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.
-
The norm 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
-
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.
-
@superbattleshipyamato123 i like to build a factory and air base on turn 2. But yea, it has it’s drawbacks as well

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 ?
-
Tsk tsk. Was there a underground factory in fic in war ?
-
@general-5-stars heh heh nah this one in Normandy. Don’t want Uncle Sam getting his hands on it
-
But I got commandos to destroy before you.
-
Hhhmmm it is house rules game. Maybe I’ll have to talk to the Captain about adding Big Boys. Lol
-
Blowing up those Naval Bases in the Pacific really jacks with Japan’s movement lol Nice
-
Correct - Underground first - then demolish turn after.
I wouldn’t destroy that Factory - until it was threatened by Allied units.
Upgrade to Underground Factory - yes - and then wait with destruction. You might need it in The Battle of the Atlantic.

@general-5-stars
We do have British Commandos already in game.
Hard-hitting attack units - limited in numbers, but deadly when striking.
See Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion page 17.

yea I just hit turn 3. UK already has a couple Paras and I need to defend S France and Norway. I guess i can trade Belgium and Normandy if needed.
If I defend everything, I defend nothing and i really need some bullet stoppers for the Eastern Front. But yea, it’s nice being able to drop a Wolfpack there :)

Been Buying 1 marine a turn and attacked Marianas USA2. Plan on boosting to at least 2 a turn and then Max out when the Fleet ready.
Is key to buy an arty for every one too. Need Artys for the Elites also. Need a bunch of Artillery lol
Mech Inf seems a lesser buy, especially for Germany and USA. Rail kinda lowers their need as well, it seems. JPN probably still need em in Asia and Russia and Italy too, I guess
-
Did you try to fortify Philippines with US units?
