66% to clear Norway, but only 52% to take it.

But remember if you only clear Norway, Germany can still bring the bomber to attack the UK fleet. 1 BMBer, 2 Subs vs. Sub, BB, TRN will kill the BB about 40% of the time. Not great odds, but doable for some players.

Granted. But at least it isn’t BMB, FIG, 2 SS vs SS, Trn, BB. :)

I personally think buying German naval units in the Baltic are not that worth it because the Allies should do the following:

Russia should constantly harass Germany and not allow them a foothold in Karelia. If Germany moves into Karelia without sufficient forces (which happens when they purchase naval units), then Russia takes out Karelia thereby weakening German land forces. With weakened land forces, Germany loses the threat against Russia

UK builds the Aircraft Carrier, transports and fighters (R1, R2) then corners the German fleet in the Baltic (R3). Either Germany attacks the UK fleet and will lose its fighters and fleet in the process. Or UK attacks the German fleet with minimal losses if the fighters wisely choose to abandon the Baltic fleet. Or UK attaks with some losses if the fighters stay on (but its worth it to kill the German fighters)

US loans UK the 2 transports and destroyer as fodder in case the German navy attacks, while they keep building transports into Africa.

Then you have a 3 on 1 against Germany with no Japanese help against Russia until R5, R6. Anyways, my 2 cents

I was victorious. The UK’s navy was destroyed very early in the game, and my Japanese counterpart did very well. Moscow was taken!!!

I disagree. Russia will not fall at all if Japan is at the gates of Moscow because Germany will be at the gates of Berlin.

Actually, the BEST game I ever had was when England went balls to the walls against Japan by landing in Archangelsk, through Russia and into Novosibirsk while Russia pushed into Europe and America worked on Africa and landing in S. Europe (as defined as W. Europe, S. Europe, Balkans and Ukraine.)

This maximized Russia’s income because England liberated land while Russia conquered land and it conserved Russian armies by not forcing Russia to trade with Japan. This allowed me to get 30 Armor with Russia, and if Russia is strong enough to have 30 armor to throw back and forth across the board with impunity (or very near) then it’s game over for the Axis.

@Thorak:

Assume I have loaded 2 UK inf on a US transport and then in the US turn I moved the transport to the seazone next to Ukraine. Can the inf on the transport participate on an attack on Ukraine in the following UK turn together with other UK units? Does it make any difference if Ukraine is empty and the units can take it alone?

The infantry can participate in an attack on Ukraine.

You do not have to unload both infantry during combat, although you may if you wish.

It makes no difference as to whether or not you unload infantry if Ukraine is empty or not.

Well, ya all know me, the AC in SZ 5 is the biggest waste of Cash this side of, well, this side of anything! I’d rather have 4 fighters or 2 bombers and a fighter to an Aircraft Carrier in SZ 5….(SZ 14 is a different story.)

Of course, you all know this means in the Tourney I’ll be building AC’s in SZ 5 cause no one will expect me too. :P

Scenario: As germany I may throw in 2 subs and the tran (Not the Des- itÂ´s needed for SZ 7)

I would definitely use the Destroyer! Why not? Wiping out that UK navy is a huge victory for the Germans! That’s a faulty assumption you’re running under if you’re not using the destroyer to calculate your battles.

I’d advise that you give Karelia up in R1. If you build 3 Inf, 3 Arm and are a bit lucky with your rolls (attacking at least WRU, maybe UKR), it’s even possible to drive German forces out of Karelia in R2 (although not likely).
