My favorite turn 1 builds
-
These are not necessarily my common builds but some are
G1: 2 SB’s 1 Tank
R1: 3 SB’s, save $1
J1: 2 MIC’s, save $2
US1: 5 fighters, save $2
C1: 4 inf
UKE1: 2 SB’s, save $4
UKP1: Air Base, save $2
I1: 1 tank, 1 mech
ANZ1: 1 fighter
F1: LOL -
@dazedwit What’s the thought process behind all the bombers for Russia and UKE? Seems it would leave you struggling on defense particularly for London. I do like the US build though, I’ve been getting into heavier air buys for the US early on to bolster defenses across the map
-
I’m daring Germany to attempt Sea Lion.
Russia is my turn 1 buy every game now after discovering it almost by accident one game. Russia should buy one bomber every turn after. Their vast movement makes their offense terrifying for Axis. I was able to wipe out the massive German stack on R5 with 5 SB’s and everything else (should have been 6 SB but lost one bombing Romanian factory).
Germany should smell the rat and avoid Sea Lion. If so one tactic to deploy is UK and Russia each hitting the two major IC’s every turn
-
US really depends on that game. A stack of fighters can cause havoc in different ways on both sides.
-
@dazedwit that’s interesting, I’d be curious to see how it plays out. I do like having a bomber or two as Russia to bomb factories, but I tend to go fighter heavy there as well.
-
Just give it a try. You will be shocked how much opens up for Russia
-
@dazedwit I also just noticed I did not mention the UKP airbase, what is the purpose of that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, assuming it goes on Malay?
-
Ceylon. But Malaya and Borneo could be fun too.
Now getting six fighters to India before Japan is the issue
-
Already a AB in India. How does that benefit UKP ?
-
-
ahh … yes. I also agree that dudes on India be better. I don’t think UK has enough Air to staff them both ? Maybe by rd 2 if ANZAC can get there but then, don’t really need it rd 1 then
I think JPN would defeat it piecemeal. Idk though. I’ve never tried it.
-
@barnee yeah I’ll have to test it out some time. I think the only way to staff it would be if ANZAC helped like you said, UKP can’t afford it and UKE would be drastically weakened sending the RAF East
-
Yes Anzac needs to help. Calcutta is going to fall regardless so either abandon it for Persia or set up a six plane scramble and make Japan lose lots of expensive equipment. If you are just building infantry Japan won’t even lose a plane.
A fun strategy is to drop AB on Borneo and get two inf and at least 3 fighters on it turn one. It creates a large expensive distraction if Japan wants the money islands
