German navy T1

Me thinks that building ger subs is sheer lunacy. Just buy inf, hunker down and wait on the onslaught, and hope that japan has there act together! 8-)

The only time I would attack KArelia is if the Russian player is careless and leaves it lightly defended or the Japanese player has already cleaned up six or so Russian AP.  Not sure what a bid is.

@UKcommander:

I’m 99.9 percent sure that they have Iron Blitz for Used & New on www.amazon.com and they probably have some on www.ebay.com aswell. Hope this helps :D :D :D .

They have it on Ebay all right but it is unbeliveably expencive. I have thought of burning a copy of mine and selling the original. It can go for over $100!!!

We’re playing with restricted first turn (USSR can’t attack first turn) and higher IPC allottment to every nation except (you guessed it) Russia.

This is the root of your problem. If your group feels that the Axis is underpowered, then your group should use bidding to determine the Axis player, and how many extra IPCs they get. Search the internet, and this board for more information about bidding.

Generally, RR is enough to balance the game for middle-experience players. Bidding is needed only when experience grows to the point where the axis can not win anymore than 10-20% of the time.

Send it to the Atlantic, build an IC in South Africa, and have some fun! 2 Subs/turn can really piss the allies off.

That was a very, patient & polite post, SUD :D –and enlightening as well!

I still don’t know if 2-hit BBs is a good rule for Germany–I guess the pluses for Japan outweigh the minuses for Germany.

what about leaving it put, and building a transport turn 1. kill the med uk bb with sub and air.
this works, but you have to be careful not to send too much into africa or away from eastern europe…

Look, I think it’s possible if you and Japan can CRIPPLE UK’s economy by taking land and strategic bombing while building up. Not probable, just possible…
