@MagicQ:

Huh, Are you inspired by wheatbear? He is a firm believer of G1 buy nothing.  :roll:
No scramble.

I might be plagiarizing him a bit. I saw his openers and they seemed interesting, so I decided to give it a whirl. I’ll probably crash and burn, but it worth a shot  8-)

[MagicQ]

I have not played as allies for a long time. Certainly not faced G1 buying nothing before. I still don’t get it why not buy anything G1. Pls allow me a bit more time to study how to counter it.

[DeadTom]

My understanding is that it gives the Germans more flexibility with turn 2 options. I can buy mostly ground for Barbarossa, transports for sea lion, or carriers and transports in the med (since I have the south France factory). Building a carrier and transports or destroyer/sub would limit me against Russia and make it harder to get in the med (although not impossible). Building ground turn 1 would further limit my options.

Besides, you’ve seen me play Germany before. I just want to give you something to throw you off your game  :-P

[DeadTom]

By the way, take all the time you want. I’m rather busy the next two days.

Thanks!

It’s really been a long time since Garg’s tournament. As far as I can remember you prefer fleets buy G1 such as 1 ac 1 sub 1 dd then. I still do that.
