@questioneer:

smart girl- just had to ask

Dont say that too loudly, you might cause Mantle’s head to explode and Gargantua to have an early heart attack.  :wink:

j/k

@questioneer:

On the one hand I’m sorry, on the other, that’s why I put all those units in Yunnan to begin with.

[questioneer]

yeah, I’m interested to see how the Pacific side plays out.  I looks pretty tough for Japan although that Yunnan dice whipping made it a little easier.

In Europe, in my three Alpha+3 games so far the Italian Navy breakup is turning out to be a pretty good call.  Seems tough for Britain to cripple Italy because that navy is spread out.  The Bomber is helpful for Italy also.  I couldn’t put a blocker to stop the Gibraltar invasion because of it.  I had a chance to attack the Italian navy on round 2 but didn’t- should have- even though it would have cost me my navy and yours.  I didn’t want to leave the Med and give you control and a bonus- stubborn.

It seems that as Britain you either got to attack the Italian fleet- or only part of it now and sacrifice your Med navy or evacuate the Med and rebuild from the outside (help India or rebuild from Canada/London).  Anyway the Med is not a guaranteed thing for the Brits from what I can see, which is good considering G3 Sealion is essentially dead.  Still interested to see the G4 Sealion in this version though (probably too risky- but I would still like to try it again).

I still think that 1AC, 2TTs are the correct build for Germany- still have to “show” Sealion- even though its not probable on G3 just to keep Britain honest with their buys- otherwise they build in Africa or create a big Canadian naval force or something.  Since the convoys are on the far side of England- Germany can’t seem to really take advantage of them without good naval supremecy- which it never seems to have even in Alpha+3.

I also, am wondering what would happen if I move the 18Russian inf west on the onset- securing Russia for later rounds but make Japan much stronger in the East- I think I’m actually trying that in my other game.

So far, I can’t see any real changes needed to Alpha+3 than what is already currently there.  I still think the game is slightly Allied advantage over time- maybe I would give Italy an extra infantry in Libya or something.  As far as Japan, I got see how my games turn out including this one.

Intriguing game so far… :-)
