Waiting for 1941?

@Raider13 If I did my math correctly, you are spending 81 German IPCs on factories/bases. In other words, you are down 13 tanks and an infantry in your quest for Moscow. I concur with the other opinions that this is untenable. To spend this much money is not an investment; it’s a death wish. I have never seen the Romanian factory as a good investment, but I could possibly see a minor factory as acceptable. A capable German player in an “average” game, however, will almost always be able to take Moscow without any additional factories.

That isn’t to say that any more are inherently bad, but they are for more specific goals (e.g. building a Med. fleet from Yugo.)

@Galendae

I noticed that, but I wasn’t completely sure whether you implied bids in that specific sentence.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

I think that’d be a really good idea because urals factories were genuinely a big contender to the war. Would people ever play with it though is the question?

@Krieghund Thanks!

@Caesar:

How about that famous situation where France actually fights and doesn’t get conquered?

That isn’t really a move though. Nothing the allies do can bring it about, unless the axis are trying Italy strong when they shouldn’t.

Allies can do something about that and try to get there stuff on Paris as fast as possible.

@Argothair said in UK Strategy -"Middle Earth":

The fighter+sub bid in the Med is interesting

No one else does as of yet. Although I have seen people do the same attack but with 2 fighters from London. Which is highly dangerous. One game I was playing axis and was disappointed to have 2 hits.

Well the U.S. didn’t exactly jump to war with Germany lol.

I was being a little off the cuff with the turn 20 crack.  I could live with turn 4 or 6 also.  Either would simulate a 1942 or 1943 U.S. declaration of war.

Just want to give the Japanese some reason to attack Hawaii like FDR did.  If the Japanese waited until January 42 to attack I be the Arizona would still have been sitting there.

I got my ship confirmation and tracking.  :mrgreen:
