Kwas (Axis) V. VictoryFirst (Allies) - Europe, Game 2

[kwaspek104]

@VictoryFirst said in Kwas (Axis) V. VictoryFirst (Allies) - Europe, Game 2:

I think you are going to win this game. I shouldn’t have bought that many transports as the US. The amount of pressure their units can put is limited, I think their money is better spent on Fighters to support Moscow and let the British do most of the landing with transports.

The Germans have the advantage in the end game because they can defend Berlin and put pressure on Moscow very easily.

Interesting that you feel this way. It takes two turns for Americans transports to do relevant things, 1 turn if you’re going for Morocco. It takes about three turns for American fighters to reach Moscow (2 for Lenin, so I do feel it is more important in the early game for Americans to build fighters).

I think you do eventually need to get the American shuck going. I feel like you got the American shuck down - three sets of transports is the way to go, imo.

I assume you are going to submerge

Next is the Baltic Sea Zone. The air units can hit the subs because there are friendly destroyers present.
