The bomber can’t reach that right? It’s in east germany

@Imperious:

4 and 2 against 2. Whats the flaw? You want the fighter in it too for over kill?

The fighter can save potential German loses of armor in Paris.

Bomber can’t reach. It’s in (East) Germany, which has no airbase. Same thing as when you advocated attacking the carrier fleet with 2 SS, 1 bmr G1

The Bomber can make it. Flightpath: Germany into 113, 112, 110, 109, 110, Holland, or alternatively: Germany into West Germany, Holland, 110, 109, 110, Holland

i dont have a rule book infront of me but it is my understanding that it takes one move turn to attack navy with aircraft.

I don’t think so, aircraft just have to reach the target area and then attack, not reach the target area and then spend another move point to engage, remember in this game your not attacking ‘units’, technically you attack a territory or sea zone and the hostile units defend the territory/sea zone

@Imperious:

Ok new concept for Soviet Union:

Stalin Line:

Builds
R1= 8 Infantry, 1 Artillery…. place Art and 2 Inf in Leningrad, rest Moscow
R2= 3 Tanks, 4 Inf, 1 Artillery ( save one)… place 3 Inf in Leningrad, rest Moscow
R3= 3 tanks, 2 tactical bombers… place 3 tanks in Leningrad, Tactical bombers in Moscow
R4= 10 Infantry

NCM for turns 1-3:

Stalin Line setup: ( this is what will be in position by turn G4 German attack)

Karelia 1 infantry
Vyborg 1 infantry
Novgorod 4 infantry, 3 tanks, 2 fighters, 1 tactical bomber
Baltic 1 infantry
Belarus 15 Infantry, 3 artillery
Western Ukraine 12 Infantry, 2 artillery
Bryansk 5 tanks, 2 mechanized
Russia 2 tactical bombers
Caucasus 3 infantry ( on R1 Soviets sent one infantry to get the 2 Persia infantry)
Navy stays, except Soviet sub may move forward

Should BB go to Z114 to block amphibs and to also make Germany attack 2 sea zones instead of 1 to kill the ships?

What about Germany Capturing Southern France on turn 1?  It has a Naval Base and with a Minor factory it could influence the med quite a bit.

The Minor factory is in Normandy, not Vichy

@Imperious:

No because Leningrad is weak, as the infantry stacks move south and place in Leningrad. Russia cant let it fall and her NO requires her to hold 115, which also defends Leningrad. Leningrad is only made ‘whole’ on R3 placements of 3 tanks.

What about Germany Capturing Southern France on turn 1?

Germany cant reach it because it has to take paris to reach it

No, the NO is tied to Z125, off Norway.

It cann reach souther France via northern Italy. Attack with tanks from Austria

I realize ther factory is in Normandy but I was thinking of buying a minor factory for southern France.  I’m playing my first game on Sunday and I am preparing what I will do if I draw Germany or Japan.

You could bring a couple of mech infantry along with the tanks from west germany. These could act as soakers for the tanks.
