Query: G1 sub in SZ125 affects USSR NO?

@chernobylime Good morning. Once the Sub has had its SUrprise Attack, all surviving enemy naval units can fire back. Air unite can only fire back, if a friendly DD is present.
I hope that clears it up for you. Enjoy your games.

I actually think the US BB should start in SZ26 to give an incentive to this attack which was historically accurate too. Perhaps the cruiser too, but both of those take balance in the wrong direction.

We had a game where Axis totally dominated, I mean, allied pieces were basically off the game board, put away, done. We called it day, left the game as it was, one of the players came back over the next day, and it was Germany/Italy VS Japan, where within 5 hours, Japan ruled the world :)

We only did something like that once, but was a cool variant. I don’t think I would like to start that way, but continuing a war after its over by a new declaration or war was a nice touch.

I was not referring to DEI, but thanx that clarifies that also.  I was referring to the European friendly nuetrals & Eggman cleared that up for me.  Thanx.

still not a big fan of that, much too conservative and 2 ipc doesn’t do anything. Still have to buy a destroyer if I want to do sea lion anyway… can’t buy all transports otherwise you look silly when 5 subs defend england against sea lion.

Yeah w/o an AC buy early w/Germany you may not even be able to move your fleet towards Leningrad. In our games the Russians seem to add to their air power. At times they will nearly abandon Novgorod (leaving some def to possibly kill part of your landing inf), and set up a counter. This includes having the Russian air force in range of hitting the German Baltic landing fleet in sz 115 (if its weak).  Losing Russian air in the battle is costly in the end (may need allied help), but Germany not having mobility at least in the Baltic hurts. They will find it very hard to fight off the allies in Norway, and the western allies don’t have to figure out a way to destroy the German fleet.

buy trannies g1, invade finland, and g2 kill novgorod and surrounders

As exciting as this seems.

I am putting this in the “Bad Ideas” category unfortunately.

Now if True Neutrals only were continent specific in regards to how they change over… or Mongolia was Pro Comintern/Allies… I would foam at the mouth.
