Why would I retreat to Moscow? I’m totally giving up position for … not even sure. I am dominating Ukraine and the Axis in the East. Shouldn’t I hold if nothing else?
I thought about going to Tambov and threatening the economics of Stalingrad, Caucasus. My whole strategy has been to apply pressure to Japan. So I have to send one each into Kor and Man. The dough will be stretched too far. I need Japan with a 5 front war.
russiadream.tsvg this?
Definitely an aggressive strategy. Try it if you like being this bold.
In my saved file, I am merely taking one step away from the coast in Siberia so Japan isn’t as tempted to destroy the units with an amphibious assault. They weren’t retreating back to Moscow as it is obviously way too late to reach.
what’s interesting about the eastern front is that it is strong defensively, but not offensively. That’s why I wanted to wear at the German force with a strong move to Rostov that Italy couldn’t handle. This is extremely aggressive and yet strong. I would have preferred to put 35ish units in Tambov to threaten Stalingrad, but I didn’t think you would approve.
@crockett36 Nothing wrong about putting a large stack in Tambov if you calculate you have enough forces to defend both there and in Moscow. They can always step back next round
I’m good with the goldilocks save file above. Proceed with Japan.
So much to do as Japan with attacks from all directions. Things should get sooner for them once Siberia is cleared up.
So I think you’ll think this is too wasteful. Can you give me what you would do?
It’s not about transports, it’s about pinning and blocking, eradicating, occupying. I wasn’t planning on taking Normandy.
more modestly if you attack, I want to reduce. air hopefully or navy enough that I can move into sz 6 and convoy. this will allow calcutta to stand.
conservativeusa.tsvg lost the brit bomber in this one.
US fleet should be either in SZ55 or SZ33 (capturing Carolines). Your forces should be strong enough that you aren’t afraid of a fleet trade.
Your minor US fleet should be in Hawaii instead of Midway. Can reach the same useful places plus can join up with the rest of the fleet.
revisedus5.tsvg look good?
Looks better. Should I go as Italy now?
@arthur-bomber-harris yes, but please post what you would have done. Thanks.
something like these sets of moves, although I would have to be more careful that I didn’t have any mistakes. I want my Indian Ocean fleet in the Med, and want the Atlantic fleet ready to strike W Europe. I also want the Pacific fleet threatening Japan and the East Asia rim.
Anzac’s turn
Subs are always helpful for the Allies. Good purchase for ANZAC
