You can’t get to Sz109 from Sz112 unless you go through Sz119 or Sz110, so if they are both blocked you are SOL and can’t land units in London.

Maybe instead of posting in every thread all the time, you should just post in threads after you read them thoroughly.

And No, you can’t fly a fighter from West Germany to Sz119 to Northern Italy.

Sz112, Sz111, Sz119, Sz111, Sz112, West Germany, Northern Italy. That’s 7 Movement points, last I checked Italy doesn’t start with a bomber, and you can’t build one on I1, do fighters fly 7 in the games you play?

Get off the drugs dog! :P

It’s not hard to anticipate that the UK will block Z119. Additionally, it doesn’t have to land on the carrier; from West germany, it can hit Z119 and land in North Italy.

The kind of thinking that lost my navy is not realizing that my subs could not be taken as casualties.

You’d have to attack with the Italian fighter from WGR, then land on a half empty German carrier, in Sz 112.

Then when the Germans attacked and lost their carrier, IF your lone Italian fighter survived against the destroyer, it would perish uselessly locked as cargo in the ensuing naval engagement.

Bad form.

You’d also have to anticipate this possibility right from the beginning as the Axis, not realistic.  There are better things for the Italian fighter to do more then likely.

This is the kind of thinking that got your navy wiped in the last game we played.

You can use a Dst on the U.K. move to block the fleet Nobbes.

Italian fighters can position themselves to remove the block

I think you go bull hard, ground units, and bring in all available aircraft as soon as possible.  I’ve looked at a naval solution, but I just don’t like em.

You start with 3 there, 1 in Gib, and 1 fgt 1 tac in the Med,  I believe they can all get to london by UK2.  So that’s 5 fighters 1 tac,  Plus your builds of 9 ish Men.

Force the germans to buy as many transports as they can if they want to go Sea-Lion.  The more transports you make them build, the less pressure Russia faces later.

I think you have a decent chance at victory with 20 + units, 5 + planes and AA on Defense.

I also think Russia should build a few bombers…  3 or 4 + starting Russian Air would lay waste to the German Navy.  You can afford the Air power if Germany goes transport heavy…

Also, if you don’t scramble your UK fighters on G1, there is some remote possibilities, of countering the starting german fleet off Denmark, if there aren’t too many planes in West Ger.
