BOOM AND DOOM!
1914 TGC (CP) vs. Yamato (Entente), RR, no bid

That’s odd.
As you can see from the photo, after the air battle in Lorraine I had a clear power advantage.
What am I missing? Thank you!

@SuperbattleshipYamato you’re missing the fact that attacking tanks shrug off hits. Your “power advantage” is 315 (-36) to account for the enemy tanks. 315-36 is… ;)

I’ll say it:
If Germany invades Holland, either that’s a stupid move or you’re losing.
So what did I do wrong? I attacked as little as possible. Thank you!
-
This was the turn where (imo) the mistake was/is most obvious. You pulled units out of Italy and sent them against the Ottomans. The Austrians had a wonderful +20 TUV attack into the vital territory of Venice. Not only were those Italians better off defending Italy (more French troops were needed in Venice as well) but when Italy falls, anything they captured in the Ottoman Empire becomes ‘dead income’. The Entente are down two IPC and they really need every dollar they can get if things go badly or some kind of mistake is made.

Why? It’s free money the Germans basically add at no cost on their way to the front at this point in the game.
-
It’s a stupid move early in the game if you need every unit.
If you have so many units that you can afford it, it is undoubtedly a good move.
And a very bad sign for the Allies.

Should’ve said “when”, not “if”.

To be honest, I never thought of the armour of tanks as minus 6 power for the defender. Makes a lot of sense now that you mention it though.
-
Thanks for helping!
So to be clear it wasn’t just this move, but rather a policy of using Italians to take Ottoman territories when it would’ve been better to keep them at the mainland and let the British take those territories to boost their income? Thank you!
I’ll respond to the actual game tommorow.
-
Yes.
The British don’t need help over there and can make better use of those IPC. In fact, the British would rather you hold what you got on the west and Italian fronts while they beat down the Ottomans.
Anticipate what will strike Venice. When the Austrians deploy their purchase, imagine 100% of it coming towards Italy and use the Italians and French (usually 3/4 a turn) to build them up in Venice. Keep that TUV swing in your favor by at least 3-6.

Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. :+1: :+1: :+1:
