… I would imagine it goes to the Europe UK since its on the Europe side of the board …
This is correct.
5 U-boats G1?

In answer to your odds question Grasshopper - using dskelly’s simulator, and assuming a Brit Battleship, Cruiser, 2 Destroyers, and 3 Fighters - around 4% chance to win. A bad idea to attack you!
If you brought the 4th Fighter from Gibraltar and bought a UK1 Carrier to land it on (an awful idea), it increases the odds to about 14%.
Your fleet is locked down without the Destroyer.
Your 5 Sub purchase, by the way, locks your fleet down just as much, but doesn’t provide you the same flexibility vs Britain. No extra transports, and less versatlity with your aircraft.
W Bill - great point about subs and airpower - esp the second bomber. IMO, at some point a 2 bomber Germany is a must.

I’d use Frood over DSKelly…personal opinion (then again, I am in the credits…so personal bias?).
Anyway, submarines ROCK I give you that, but you do need a few more surface warships as I am finding out. That aircraft carrier certainly does give you a myriad of different actions you can take and by extention, the allies have to plan for. Without it, you are landlocked to adjacent airbases and even then, you are severely limited in your defense capabilities.

Thank you all for the great advice, my G1 purchase will be 1 aircraft carrier / 2 transports with 1 or 2 subs every round after, as well as a bomber here and there. It’s 5am, I smell a war comming.

To war!
Good luck to you -

In alpha 3, you might be able to get away with reducing it to 1 submarine with a second anytime you lose one. In alpha 2, it seemed if I didnt put 3 in the water every round, I got pushed out too easily.

There was an emergency this afternoon with my dog, and had to leave our game after 2 rounds. My buddy is recording the board and we will pick it up next weekend, I will post my results and analysis of the first 2 rounds later on a new thread. Off to see my dog at the vet, I hope she’s ok.

Jennifer - can you give me a link to Frood’s combat sim? Thanks ~
Hopper - hope all is well with your pet ~

It’s built for AAR, so you have to play with it to make it work for G40.

Thank you!

Yeah w/o an AC buy early w/Germany you may not even be able to move your fleet towards Leningrad. In our games the Russians seem to add to their air power. At times they will nearly abandon Novgorod (leaving some def to possibly kill part of your landing inf), and set up a counter. This includes having the Russian air force in range of hitting the German Baltic landing fleet in sz 115 (if its weak). Losing Russian air in the battle is costly in the end (may need allied help), but Germany not having mobility at least in the Baltic hurts. They will find it very hard to fight off the allies in Norway, and the western allies don’t have to figure out a way to destroy the German fleet.
