just hoping for good dice now……

[variance]

Oh well.

[variance]

here go with this.  it will buy me some time maybe.  :cry:

[variance]

I don’t know what to do at this point.  This one is my FINAL try.

[Guest]

This is the second time I moved my german fleet into the pacific. Both times it creates a situation the allies have a hard time dealing with. My only bad was that I forgot that 125 connects with norway. Which messed things up for Germany. Fortunately it was the US that controls it and the US needs every penny in the pacific.

I don’t mind ncms etc after the fact. I do them myself as well. However I am wondering what all these files are. I hate having to go over all of them. So can you summarise the differences?

[variance]

I just moved all the planes to hawaii and the surface ships to z12, with a blocker in z30.  I figure I might as well save those ships rather than trade them for subs  :|

What’s hard about your German fleet in the Pacific is that it can can opener just about anything, plus it could be taken as fodder if the US attacks your combined fleet.  I don’t think you would ever get Russia this way because you spend too much on fleet and no ground forces, but its a very strong strategy for a Pacific win.  You came up with a good one.

I haven’t played many games yet. In another game I took India with the kriegsmarine :mrgreen:. Ofcourse I first took it with Italy, but the bloody Italians were unable to hold it.
