No Soviet far East Fleet???

Hi Galendae, it is tough being a newbie in this very unforgiving game. Let me guess the strategy? Germany bum-rushing Russia and taking Moscow before the other Allies can get in range to help. Right? There are plenty of players still trying to figure that one out as well. Practice a lot and work out a strategy that works and fits your style of play. Playing the Allies is a real tightrope act for sure! The Taranto raid and Battle of Tobruk by the London-English on turn 1 will certainly help neuter the Italians in the Med and start you in the right direction! Good Luck!

Great! Can’t wait!  :-D

man been awhile since I played some lobby games of global. I am getting bad, but I can still beat most players.

I use this strategy every time I play Russia.  In additon I build Mech Inf. in Calcutta so as to link up with Chinese and Russian forces as quick as possible.

@Applesauce234:

Oh really? I thought the destroyers need only be present in the sea zone to neutralize the subs’ abilities.

I believe that’s what it says in the manual :/

Then again, I haven’t familiarized myself with any errata.

This IS in the manual and has no mention in the Errata (though it might be in the faq portion).

On defense, any units that are allied together defend together.  But on Offence ONLY the attacking power participates.  This is how it has always been.  So on the US turn, only us units are involved in the attack, the british destroyer does not participate and thus cannot allow the bomber to detect the subs.

@Stefano1189:

India Crush? Did you play with monkeys? :-)

A veteran player can stop a naval J4 DOW, we made bloody battles and Japan advance in every global with slowness

How do you manage that?

Just to be clear, nobody said anything about alpha.  We’re talking about the official game?

The monkeys in my games tend to favour a strong Mediterranean attack over a strong Indian defense, but I think J4 vs India works either way - just a question of how much Japan loses.

Thats true,
they are only candiates for joining the EU like Turkey for example…
I Know they Play qualification for European Soccer campionship,
but so does Israel and turkey too… Funny Thing ;)
Think it was intended that iceland counts to European “belonings,”
but it would Be Nixe if Krieghund could clearifiy this b/c imo this rule applies to the European and African (contnental) mainland…

I was also at Gencon, and literally just got back home. The new game is fantastic, I was able to play both Global and Europe versions. I’m not sure if I saw you there, but I was the one playing as the Soviets during the liberation of Scotland.

You were there on Saturday, right in front of the HQ table?  Larry and I watched that game for a while, off and on.  It was interesting.

I played Global on Thursday morning around 10, and that was when it happened. I asked Larry if he had ever seen that before, and he said he hadn’t, so I was pretty proud of myself haha. I also awkwardly asked if I could take a picture with him too, which I was super pumped about.

Bennyborg,
Where where you placing the transports that you used to liberate Scotland?  Up north in sz 127?

Krieghund,
Sounds like Larry was into some game play.  Did you get “dirty” too?

Yeah, it was out of range of the German air units and it let me reach Scotland in one turn with the naval base and all.
