It should be about:
2 Carriers
2 Battleships
6 Destroyers
5 Transports
10 SubsThis is the amount I have in my set.
Great thank you!!!
What to do with my German Navy?
-
Pencil me in for game 4. :-D
Don’t be so stodgy, your analysis is fine based on what you would do, but you can’t predict what I’ll do, the great thing about this game is it’s unpredictability. After round 1 who knows what the board will look like. In any case under your scenario you’d be throwing everything at Germany (they could never withstand that no matter what they bought) meanwhile Japan will be knocking at russia’s back door. :lol:
-
Everything except 6 INF from Russia, 4 INF and a FIG from the US, plus any assorted AF flown in , IC’s built, etc.
And Japan can;t get that much onto the contient in a couple of rounds… they only have 1 TRN on J1…
OK, pencilled in for a future game. We’ll go ahead and set it with you as Axis now so you can test your German uber-navy :-)
-
LOL…your on. :mrgreen: (just wanted to use this Icon, I haven’t seen hair like that since i was in high school!)
-
I think a better investment is to buy an AC for the mediteranean fleet. :-P
-
I’ve played a few games where i’ve purchased a 2nd carrier for the med, but haven’t ever put one there on G1. What do you do about your baltic fleet?
-
I find it critical to build an AC in the Med If you are playing a KGF. Landlocked Germany is no good. The baltic fleet is cannon fodder to attack allied ships with your planes. I usually defend that as well by buying a destroyer… just to try things out.
-
I usually operate under the theory that any Navy for Germany except for the Baltic AC and a few Baltic transports is money out the window. As the Allies my second axiom is “Sink the German Navy as soon as practical.”
-
“Sink the German Navy as soon as practical.”
Right you are!
What´s your first axiom?
-
“Sink the German Navy as soon as practical.”
Right you are!
What´s your first axiom?
It’s probably take out his capital as quick as you can! :-P :-D
-
Take out the capital as soon as you can is my goal. My axioms are things I try to keep in my mind to acheive my goal.
1st Axiom “When in doubt as to what to buy, buy INF.”
2nd Axiom “Sink any naval units you can as soon as practical and that is still to slow.”
3rd Axiom “See that your naval units don’t meet Davy Jones alone.”
4th Axiom “All other axioms are useless if you don’t defend your capital.”
5th Axiom "Stay on target. Pick a goal and stick to it.
6th Axiom “Be more concerned with the sure paths to defeat than the uncertain paths to victory.”
D. Fox might wish to take No 4 to heart. :evil:
I would be curious to hear any axioms that any one else has. I would also be curious to any thoughts on my axioms.
-
My axioms are:
1st Axiom Don’t do something stupid.
2nd Axiom If you did something stupid, don’t do it again.
3rd Axiom If you’re still doing the same stupid thing…STOP!!!
4th Axiom If you can’t stop doing the same stupid thing, lock your game up in the closet.
:roll:
-
When you are pulling all of your forces out of your capital to move them somewhere, and you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that no enemy units can reach… and you have triple checked and NOTHING can reach…
Leave a couple of INF behind… just in case you missed something :-)
(I lost a game of Classic that way once…)
-
jsp4563 that is an excellent set and I will be adopting number one as one of my own axioms. Perhaps this should have its own thread?
-

:roll:
I’ll admit to the first one for sure. Although, my mistake was more… an oversight than anything. :-P Which, of course, cost me the capital in the second round, from whcih I was never never never able to recover fully. :-o
