[ItIsILeClerc]

Just so it’s clear:
I’m not dismissing DS as a valid strategy. I just don’t see that it’s so much better than the other strategies.
I have spent 240IPCs now on bombers. Imagine I spent that all on land units. That would be ~70 land units instead of the +13 bombers the Germans have now. Say I put 30 of them In Russia to compensate the offensive power of those bombers, and another 10 because Russia is not raided so heavily (or not at all, even). The situation in Russia would have been better for Germany because those 40 land units have more power than those +13 STR and they also defend much better. With +40 land units in Russia, Germany could also keep all of their FTR+TAC in the west to contest the allies there (but I’m not saying they should). They are just an extra bonus to every front, capable of contesting dead zones more effectively.

Anyway, that leaves another 30 land units to be divided between west and east. Add the land units already west, and GE6 -could- have 40 land units in the west if necessary, instead of just 10.

For me, the bottom line is:
yes it is working and it is a very strong strategy, worthy of high level play. It is in fact also surprisingly fun to play. But I wouldn’t call it overpowered. I think our game shows this at least, if not the fact that I perhaps need to work on my Japanese endurance against a heavy early focus by the USA ;-). If that’s the case, so be it. But if Japan can do much better against an early USA focus than I am now, the allies have a problem with Germany regardless of what strategy they use.

Dark Skies is tougher against Russia than the standard land game.  The advantage lies in the game after Moscow falls.  It is not incredibly overpowered, but even a small advantage that consistently tilts the advantage towards the Axis makes a big difference over a dozen turns. :mrgreen:

I hope you can see what I did with the edits.
If not, here it is: instead of 2TAC + 1 INF, I placed FTR+TAC+MECH. Same TUV. And repositioned 2 other mech after that (within their legal range, ofc).

OK, if it’s after fall of Mocow, I can relate. That should be after a while. First Germany must work on its ability to approach Moscow and if the UK sends a few FTR/TAC into that City, they can hold out longer. We’ll see how it works out.

If you are thinking about a ‘battle of the Java sea’, please take great care with allocating losses.
I must admit I used the BC on it but I didn’t take into account the dynamics of taking air and CV losses. Just looked at the statistics. I’m growing weary of the BC after a while… So if the combat is in fact much more disadvantageous for Japan I might reconsider this move. A heck, damn F’n BC… I 'll look into it ;-). I 'll simulate the battle in the BC but this time exactly how it is going to be. Should have done that by tomorrow and since you’re away this weekend, I figure that is not much time lost anyway.

Speaking of which: Njoy the weekend!

I’m not going to attack the Java fleet, so I’m going ahead and making the US move.

My Hawaii destroyer is attacking your Sea of Japan (2 transports).  Kamikaze attacks?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Changed my mind, it’s not worth sacrificing my destroyer yet.  It is not moving to the Sea of Japan.
