I only analyzed the part with the Navy fortress. I didn’t quite go into the financial and opposing forces part of it. I did, but not really thoroughly. Perhaps if one could tweak this fortress strategy, it might be profitable, but until it is altered it remains a dilemma.
I have never used that many big words in one paragraph. Two brain cells for the Major!
…when you say “other than that sounds good”, do you mean besides the fact you are going to lose it’s ok?
This is what a high ranking officer said to Hitler before he comitted suicide, I speculate. :D
Instead of spending full funding on the fortress, spend only about a quarter of it so you can use the rest for fighting the Allies - like on the Eastern Front, keeping Russia at bay.
i’m still not sure if it would work though… :-?
i know germany doesn’t have an industry there, but the game would be more realistic if they did. It stops germany from trading western europe, and it let’s them actually use subs to their advantage. anyway, maybe you could agree with your opponent that you can get an industry there for only 5-10 ipc’s of your bid or something, you can compromize, since for 15 ipc’s it’s not really worth it. Anyway, this would hurt germany later on anyway. otherwise, would be fun to play anyway, just only do it on a newbie, because otherwise, i would just stack uk and tech since i don’t need to defend russia anyway. usa could stack and tech too, or get a navy, in the gulf of mexico. in 2-4 turns they will most likely get heavys any other techs will help too, if it takes them more than that, they would lose i guess, but i would tech with both us and uk. once either has heavies, the fleet is history. russia can focus on japan, and leave germany for the most part. i doubt russia could take germany, if they move into eastern the fleet can hit karelia. with no tech though, the allies would be hurt.
any ideas, tell
if my reasoning is wrong, tell why because i haven’t played it out yet.
:lol:
Has anyone tried putting bids in Finland? Easier to take Karelia on t1.
if your going to do that why not just put bid on ukr. if i got a large bid, i want to try that, bacause if they stack karelia u attack caucusus with8 or 9 inf (2 from SEu) like 7 arm… and… well thats it. but i still think it would be sweet to have a mass army next to russia after G1. it would be pretty hard to kill too, if russia had 19 inf, 3 arm, 2 ftr… well maybe not… i still want to try it.l
that would not be a smart move to have all of your tanks vulnerable to attack by the russians so early, the russians would just lose infantry but you would lose 7 or 8 tanks PLUS your important cannon fodder/infantry
Russia is definately a problem. Japan must play extremely aggressive, going around South America third turn.
i’ll play, although i have no idea if the strategy will work or not. I haven’t done any pbem games yet, i’ve just played with my friends, and on the zone. I really should know, but what site tells you the rules and stuff? I know the basic idea of it, anyway, i need west canada bordering labrador, so i guess 2nd edition. i guess for the bid, 2 inf libya, and an industry on western
now i expect to be crushed, as there has to be some huge flaw with this strategy somewhere, if there is, i guess i’ll find out.
maybe we can post each round on this board so people can see what happens.
thanks
wild and inxduk - why don’t you meet in the “games” section for a round. I’d be interested in watching too. Good luck!
