[Avner]

That’s more or less what I intended to do (with the subtlety of the two subs for the CV next round)

[Avner]

Finalized :)

[trulpen]

Moving back the tr is wise. It won’t accomplish much grabbing another island anyway. This is when it shows the inf on NG saves ANZAC a tr.

I would say that there’s never really any call for ANZAC to build carriers. If they have surplus income it’s better to build another mIC and then being able to produce 6 units.

Building subs, des, trannies, figs (perhaps 1 or 2 tac as well) and enough land-units to keep home base safe and feeding the amphis. That’s atleast my strategy with ANZAC, using the american carriers for its air.

[surfer]

I’m not sure I agree with a mIC for ANZACs, especially in the first 6 rounds of the war. They will be above 18 IPCs only intermittently, so the second mIC is rarely used to capacity and in those cases only for 6 inf, which have minimal value for the Pacific war.

If they are buying more useful naval and air units, then they can only afford 2-3 at a time. Sure, putting the units in SZ54 has better tempo than SZ62, but that is only important in the later phases of the game.

I find that I end up buying a mIC only after a few rounds of invading DEI (i.e., Turns 8+) and have had to buy several inf just to have ground troops, and want the tempo back to push against Japan. But at that point, I’m winning (or at least aggressive) in the Pacific.

[trulpen]

Oh, I agree with that. Didn’t really advice to buy a mIC at first opportunity.

Point was rather that with i e 18 IPC I’d prefer 3 subs over 1 cr and with 16 IPC I’d prefer 2 des or 1 tr, 1 des or 1 sub, 1 fig.

However, perhaps it’s a matter of taste? On my behalf I just try to give my share of tutoring, not aiming to set any traps.

[trulpen]

With ”surplus income” I meant that it’s steadily more money than they can use, like more than 24 or something, and not just temporarily. This would not happen early on.

[surfer]

@trulpen And I wasn’t / (didn’t mean to) imply that you were. Just giving my $0.02 as well.

[Avner]

We await Hitler moves

[Avner]

[trulpen]

Hitler is hiding in the bunker, but will show his ugly mustache eventually.

Actually, half man, half dictator, half chicken. :baby_chick:

[trulpen]

Think I might be back now. Hopefully we can continue after half a year.

Subs are a great purchase for ANZAC.

Missed to do an SBR on Egypt. Will roll it here. Going in with 1 sb and 3 figs, so assume no intercept.

[trulpen]

aa in Egypt

[dice 1d6<=1]

[dicebot]

1d6<=1: 5; Hits: 0

[trulpen]

SBR in Egypt (try to add +2 and see if it works).

[dice 1d6+2]

[dicebot]

1d6+2: 5; Sum: 7

[trulpen]

Cool. It worked.
