Now, extra German planes in the mid-game can be a good investment against a balanced, slow KGF if Allies don’t have excess escorts. They already defend where they are almost like 2 more inf (6 IPC), also threaten 1-2 fleets that will need extra escorts, and swap easier on land. Combined with the Japanese fleet coming throught the Med, they can paralyze the Allied moves sandwiched between each of them.
But, that’s not ships, but anti-ship build…
Alternate Turn 1 buys…
-
Or if Germany’s being a jerk, 4 fighters is plenty to sink the Transport/Battleship fleet for Germany. At times that can force Germany to blow money on auxillery ships.

On my current lowluck game i lost my med fleet to a ftr and bmb =[
-
In our new game CC and I opted for 2 Inf in Ukr. and 1 IC to Japan and 1 IC to Germany - we’ll see how it goes!! (8 IPC bid)
-
its IPC not IC
-
Right. And also, we’re talking about buys, not bid placements, which is what I described - DOH! I have a neat idea for G1, but I won’t post it here until Jennifer and Frimmel play their R1…
-
2 Destroyers, 1 Aircraft Carrier, 1 Artillery???
-
thats a grave gamble. and as for you froodster: WHO THE HELL BIDS $36??
-
In my current game my Russian R1 purchase was 1Bomber, 1 Armor, 1 Infantry, save 1 dollar. As we have yet to complete the first round I don’t know how well it will work. I prefer to use air assets with Russia anyway as they land behind the lines and do not become ireplacable casualties like armor.
As far as a Russian AC I have used that before although not on round one. It was an intentional throw away purchase to get the Germans to use their air assets to attack fighters deffending at 4. While I lost a fleet I had no real use for the Germans lost most of their luftwaffe which was my goal.

It was 2 IPCs, not 2 ICs.

It was 2 IPCs, not 2 ICs.
naturally this was an obvious typo - he just typed that we had a bid of 8 ipcs, and with 2 inf, it’s only natural that 1 ipc each would go to japan and germany.
And Jen - what are you talking about? -
What are the traditional Turn 1 buys?
this isn’t written in stone but IN KGF
Russia: 2inf,2art,2tank
Germany: 4inf, 3art, 2trn
UK: 2 trn,4 inf
Japan: 3trn,1art save 2 ipc or 2trn and 1 ic with bid
USA: 3trn,1inf, 3 tanks sav 4 -
I think Jen is suggesting that might be my G1 buy.
I may as well tip my hand - I’ll be building 2 ICs, one in Algeria and one in Libya, and one sub in the baltic after moving the original baltic fleet to SZ 3. I even save $2 for G2 with that build! Or maybe just 5 subs…

tu est locco :lol:. thats funny it would probally be more worth it to transport from italy.

You’re right - I’ll put the ICs in Norway and West Russia instead.

can you link your game here i don’t want to find it. but do except to be able to use them? RUssia should put an ic in Kar. now that would really be funny, especilaly if you put that w. russia ic in ukraine. a wall of ics. 8-) edited added last sentence.

would this bid help or hurt germany. 161 bid. one ic to each gray teritory and then 2 inf to either ukraine or libya.
-
161, why not get 12 Transports, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 11 Infantry?

it should be 131(counted germany and italy :oops:) but the reason is because you would be unstoppable with 131 or 1 tank and 42 inf in w. russia. i was just wondering if each german terrotory had an ic in, how would that affect the game. would it hurt germany beacuse the captured ics can be used by the allies or woud it help them beacuse the could build agnywhere they wanted.?
