U.K. Cruiser Set up -Barely Enough!

@Adiloi Yes, theoretically this could continue. But the Axis would gain so much income from this exchange that the Allies would not recover, and eventually attrition will stop UK from being able to retake since they won’t be able to buy new units and Germany will.

@The-Janus indeed hurting the luftwaffe is a plus but not if it costs you way too much. Keeping your fighters with UK and alive in the Med then they can go to moscow fast.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Sounds about right.

@The-Janus

That’s the thing-I don’t think national objectives imbalance the game, especially in the Europe version where the Soviets are almost guaranteed to get 9 IPCs a turn after going to war.

As you can see, the Germans still took Moscow on turn 6 and on their way to Egypt (Italy’s looking in pretty good shape too).

@The-General-0 A quick US liberation of London assumes the German navy and its transports have been eliminated.Italy can throw a wrench into the allies plans as well.

@ampdrive
To be competitive Italy need to reach +20 and I2, and 30 IPC at I3
Otherwise anybody can enter the med, with no effort

@Detuite:

Ok I have copied the alpha rules do you recomend them for further game play. and thanks for your promped answer.

I do recommend them(alpha PLUS, which is more balanced than alpha). Larry ahs also posted a Med setup change. if you need it, I can paste it here. Try both out and see which one you like.
