Hi all,
I haven’t been on the forums in a while and am scheduled to play again today. What is the best version to play? If you could add a link to set up that would be nice.

if you’re Italy and Germany signals Sealion, DON’T take Gibraltar. You simply bomb the base after the operation, after which it cannot be repaired, hampering the USA.

Won many a game this way. The poison pill is one of my all-time favorites hahaha!

For global it depends on what round you are attacking. Like for Germany you pretty much go all mech and armor to attack on G6. Otherwise you do round 2 strait arty then you attack Russia on G7 (buying mech/armor for the other rounds).

That is pretty much it. Like other units simply do not make it in time. Like your entire german force collides on russia at a specific round. You only need to hold germany, everything else lost can be reclaimed after russia falls including france, I mean you should be using Italy to defend anyway, it has nothing better to do.

If you do a more economic style of play then you probably invested into the middle east and a more defensive style. So yes then you have a more mixed buy going on.

Global is a freaking long game to play income style with, just win, it is faster.

All infantry - best defense rating for the money and longest staying power due to a greater number of them.

Well, the UK will slow down Italy, but with no builds/reinforcements from elsewhere, Italy will overwhelm them eventually and without US intervention it’ll go quickly to a 40-50 IPC Italy.

@special:

@Young:

I suppose the rule disallowing America from building a Major in Finland, was very significant for balance as well.

You mean Norway. But yes, it’s a big difference

You’re right, I meant Norway.

@Young:

@Cmdr:

@Gargantua:

Although I would never “discount” an allied bomber strategy (I like it!) I would be wary…

Any of these “just build ALL this” strategies, are always susceptible to counter.

I would opt to do something like “Build atleast 2 bombers a turn + whatever else” trend. That should give you a bit of everything you need. OR build bombers for the European campaign/Ships for the pacific, or whatever else works.

It is amazing you ever doubt me with how often we agree with each other, Gargantua.

He has a reputation to protect.

Then he should NEVER doubt me!

Best timing for German -> Russia attack & Japan -> Russia/Allies attack

you have to balance the Japan opening w/the European side of the board. J1 attack was great in Pac40 as we all know, but do you really want to put the US to 80 IPCs on US1? Ask the Nazi next to you if HE wants you to do that.
