Germans taking the united states

[TG Moses VI]

Yeah, unless Canada pulls a one-up and switches sides to the Axis. :wink:

[GeZe]

that could always happan :)

[Drumstix]

id say its pretty much impossible to take America. as soon as the German boats get halfway across the atlantic with a miracle America will just build 13 infantry. and if the Germans are held off another 13 infantry. its possible but a thousand to one chances.

[GeZe]

i’m saying PARATROPERS is the way to go, just make it so bombers can go on aircraft carriers

[TG Moses VI]

That still probably wouldn’t be enough.

[GeZe]

maybe paradrping tanks? :-?

[Drumstix]

They didnt have the technology at the time to drop tanks from planes, it mightve started to be developed but the Allies wouldve used it on D-Day.

[TG Moses VI]

Talk about broken tanks. :)

[Drumstix]

Man if the Allies tried droppin’ tanks that’d be hilarious. :D

[TG Moses VI]

Hmmmm…. almost as bad as underwater tanks used at D-Day. :wink:

Paratanks! They should make a rule about that, like a falling paratank squashes 3 infantry then you roll to see if the tank fell onto it’s treads or not…

Of course, there weren’t any WW2 but revisionist history never hurt anyone.

[GeZe]

ya if u got heavy bombers u could drop 3 tanks per bomber, then buy 3 bombers, that would be 9 tanks a turn attaching the us!

[Guest]

:evil: how do i do it

[cystic crypt]

the point is, you can’t deadman.

I tried it. I got a few transports and subs for defense. I put only put infantry on the transports to make my nubers high. I built up the force slowly as well so the allies wouldnt notice it as much. I sent them south to lie in wait. Continued the game as normal, but when the US got organized and sent their force over the Atlantic. I pounced on an empty capital. Before they landed In France, I had the US under control. In a panic they turned back to try to retake the capital. So I sent my entire naval fleet after them. They had BB’s and all I had were subs so I didnt fare well there. But I did manage to sink a few transports so that when they DID finally attack me I was able to repel them. The US was out of the game. The two other players decided it would be impossible to win and forfieted.
It IS possible. But I dare not try it twice with the same players. My advise is not to focus everything on that mission. Continue to press the Russians to a high degree. Keep the allies attention on the Eastern front. Good Luck and Good Hunting.

the allies did have glider to bring heavier equipment with the paratroopers mabye you could drop tanks with an attack value of 2 instead of 3 to represent lighter weapons.

[StrongBad1988]

that sounds like a good rule, being able to carry “light tanks” on the bombers instead of infantry, and the light tanks get to attack at 1 or 2

[Guest]

it can be done!
in my last game i almost pulled it off, i had the german fleet (1 bb 1 des and 1 loaded transport) in the middle of the atlantic. He had a bb and a des off the coast of of the empty usa. I got unlucky (total anihaliation), but what if it had worked! The game ended up lasting forever… next time my bomber lands in morocco!

It is ABSOLUTELY so possible for the germans to take out the us. i played my dad once and he decided to go for the us. only problem was that he was only using his medit. fleet of 1 BB 1 Des and 1 Trans. it actally ended up being that he and the usa had no troops left! the attacker and defender were destroyed! if he had used a bit more, he might have succeded! :wink:

U.S.A and british used paratrooping light tanks in operation market garden, but about over 70% of them were broken when they landed :roll:

And trying to take USA only makes it harder for you win? You must have very bad opponents and sheer god like luck to pull it through…
