I lost the game number, but ill find it and post it asap. it was a shocker…

Then you could bombard should Caucus be taken, but yes, it seems rather ridiculous.

I think you’ve got it. Just to clarify, for America to collect income for a Russian territory, America must liberate the territory from an Axis power. If Russia retains control of a territory and Moscow is Axis-held, nobody collects for it until an Axis power takes that territory.

Actually Cragi, he stated that they flew over Western to attack, and back over Western to retreat. For that to be the case (in the #1 example at the start of the thread) the FIGs would HAVE to be attacking, not defending.

And under LHTR, Attacking aircraft retreat as I specified.

Thanks for the information, I’m assuming with this strategy, DM, that you also don’t build an India production faculity, correct?

Thanks to everyone for the ideas, and hopefully the class won’t have to Britain falling second turn next time. Sort of mean, tried to see how the class would deal with Canadian Shield, more or less played to my hands, Britain didn’t build much of a defensive mainland or put fleet into blocking, will talk about it Monday since class was really small on Wednesday.

My apologies. Yes, the submerge rule also is in effect with enemy DSTs.

But just like DST’s do not negate Super Subs attackign on 3’s, neither do they negate Wolf Pack NA.

Pre-LHTR Lend Lease is insane. Non-LHTR Super-fortresses is also pretty crazy.

Colonial Garrison makes KJF much stronger. Radar messes with things a lot. Mobile Industry makes the Caucasus no longer a vital country, and increases the strength of a KJF. Mechanized infantry lets you do a lot of stuff, as does fast carriers, as does island bases . . . really, MOST of the Allied NAs are quite good.

Germany’s Blitzkrieg is decent because it frees up fighters. Japan’s Banzai is okay. (Banzai’s not great against a KJF, and even for a KGF, you need tanks and fighters for that last push into Moscow). Most of the Axis NAs suck. It is usually a matter of HOW MUCH they suck.

How to abuse pre-LHTR Lend Lease - UK fighters, US fighters. You haven’t seen “stupid” until you see Russia producing 8-9 infantry a turn with 14 fighters for backup. No, seriously. Russia just beats the hell out of everything. LHTR changed this, thank goodness.

How to abuse Superfortresses - build bombers to strat bomb, go for tech dice on US3 or US4. With heavy bombers, you shut down Germany. LHTR limits total damage per turn, I believe, instead of total damage per bomber, so stops this from doing more than 16 IPC damage.

How to abuse Blitzkrieg - well, you take this fat load of tanks, and use 1-2 infantry to trade territories with Russia early. Since you can use your tanks to trade territories without committing, now you can use your fighters for other things. Like . . . getting EVEN MORE territory, or fighting off that Allied Atlantic fleet.

How to abuse Banzai - use a lotta infantry, surprise.

@ShadowHAwk:

Australia and NZ can be good locations if you can get there without expending to much troops.
It is easy IPCs and they wont take it back. Also it cuts away 1 of the allied powers concentrated.

If you focus on 1 power it helps more efficient then on all powers.

Especialy the turn you build an Ic you might not be able to build enough troops to use all 4 trannies if you move 2 south then ( to enforce FIC ) you can take Australia next turn without losing much transport power but cutting in 3 more ipcs from the UK who at that point has verry little IPCs and is losing afrika making it completely dependant on the US to do anything at all.

Sure they’ll take it back . . . but only if it’s a KJF. I assume this whole thread is pretty much based off a KGF assumption, because otherwise Japan should go inf/fighter turtle.

My typical Aus/NZ/Hawaii plan uses ONE transport, BB support shot(s) and a carrier. I use the infantry from the southeastern islands to replenish.

Sometimes I can’t afford to go Aus/NZ/Hawaii depending on the India/Ssinkiang situation.

One of the first “improvements” I made was an option to retreat. They can do so the next round after their initial announcement. However, any retreating forces that are hit by the attacking forces don’t receive a retaliation strike back, since they, literally, turned their back to their enemy.

I made up the same house rule too. It seems to work pretty well. It definitely adds to the realism.
