@ncscswitch:

Tech rols are straying rom the original topic. You may want to create a new thread to deal with house rules/options for tech rolls.

But I was referring to bidding on technology or improved chance of success on tech rolls. Still kinda on topic. It is an UPGRADE of tech rolling. =)

Upgrading the baltic destroyer to a carrier (4IPC) creates some interesting possibilities.

As far as I have seen between 2012 and 2013 leagues, bids are ranging from +/- 6 IPC (that is up to 6 IPC or as low as -6 IPC, usually with someone just taking an AA Gun off the map so they can be allies or axis….)

OH that’s for Global 1940 2nd Edition

If Russia does WRu/Ukr you can stack Kar even without a European bid in most games. Even if Russia has good odds attacking it, its still a good move since Germany can afford to replace its losses whereas Russia can’t.

For the record, letting the allies keep W. Europe is worse then E. Europe but both should be avoided at all costs.

=)

Oh yea, and never let America take Norway. Better to let England have it. Odds of them affording an IC and putting out 3 armor a round there is much smaller. =)

The only difficulty would be deciding if the Pacific strategy is the right one.

This would be based on how strong Germany is:

Does she threaten Cau/Moscow? If so, you might want to ensure some good Western Allied pressure (western, southern, even SZ14 pressure all over the med as Darth indicated)

If Japan plays it close to home fleet wise (to keep US honest), then again, a US pacific fleet may be sub optimal.

I think if Germanys a huge inf ball in their big 4/5 territories, then it might be best to be happy having them contained and go after Japan with the Pacific fleet… you have the time to do so (and the axis have proven it might be their soft spot)

Thanks DM. It was the low luck aspect that really threw me the curveball. Taking a cursory look, it seemed that LL makes a lot of the first round battles, on both side, that are deemed “must do’s” by most players a little more palatable so, all things being equal, it was hard to judge which side would come out ahead at the end of the 1st turn.

Germany would be ready to rock and roll with an extra 8 in Africa… They would benefit far more than giving the 8 to the Japanese since there is very little to check Japan in the long run in Asia. The Germans would not need to pull troops from Europe to successfully assault Egypt(closing the Suez-sealing off the Indian fleet), and they’d be able to drop reinforcements to prevent an American counter in US1 in Algeria. The Germans can go after the Brit BB in the Med with the BB prtotecting the planes(The BB isn’t needed to protect the transport against the Destroyer in the Med when amphibbing Egypt because the amphib isn’t necessary). The sub could be used to sink the tranny in Canada, hamstrining the Brits efforts in Norway in GB1. They could move both fleets together in G2… without sacrificing Africa. And take 4 IPCs off the Brits in G2 as well… Plus the rest of Africa in G3(would be enough to offset what is lost to US in US2)… Even if the Allies are aggressive in the first round, there is no reason why Germany would be collecting less than 39IPCs(as opposed to 37) in round1, 42 in round 2, and 44 in round 3. This almost guarantees that Germany will hang around no less than 7 rounds(more than likely 8 or 9)… Long enough for Japan to strike down Moscow.

@trihero:

I dunno, I’ve been talking with a very good Revised player and he never will play the Axis unless he has a bid of 8 (1 inf in Libya 1 tank in Algeria).
