@Aaron_the_Warmonger I don’t know exactly the long term goal in Italian hands. The only conclusion I can come up with is to give Italy more of a northern Can Opening attack as well as give Italy more money for longer term play. Again, I find this foolish since it serves great use for Germany anyways. It’s been talked about, as said before, I’ve never seen it done and I have no plans to do it if I am ever Axis. I can see Bulgaria going Italian but not Finland.
Russia's Eastern troops
-
Has anyone ever sent a fighter or a tank over to support the eastern troops? I sent a tank and a tac over to Buryatia in a game against my brother. He freaked out and sent a huge army to kill my stack.
I’m thinking i could use this as a scare tactic to have japan declare war against me. Have them waste resources up north where its not as important, get my mongolian troops and take some slack off india and china.
Also if japan doesnt attack. you now have an army that can actually do something.
I don’t know if id waste a tank and a tac in the east unless germany is going sea lion though.
-
anyone ever tried an eastern factory and pump out a couple rounds of Russian art in the east?
I’d like to try this in a sea lion game once, maybe in parallel with a US-Europe first strategy.

Can’t Jeff. Territory must be worth 2 at least to build a factory.

Pull them all back and see what happens. If Germany buys transports for a sea lion attack on London, then go back to Amur and then down into China and help them take and hold Kiangsu and maybe even Hongkong. You might prevent a Pacific VC win if you are lucky. Don’t forget you can mobilize new Chinese infantry on top of your Russians.
If Germany does not buy transports and masses troops along the Russian border for a G3 attack, then you better start marching them all West.
However, if Germany launches Barbarossa on G2 they may be too little too late anyway. A German attack could start out as a mass of tactical bombers, armor, artillery and infantry in Hungary that moves East 1 territory per turn. Meanwhile 10 mechanized infantry are built each turn in Germany to replace infantry losses. The mechs also protect the tactical bombers in East Poland. The schedule is East Poland G2, Belarus G3, Bryansk G4, then Moscow G5 onward. Ukraine probably evacuates.
So Germany is attacking Moscow G5, but there are 6 Far East troops in Samara and another 14 units in Novosibersk. Those replacements make it possible for Russia to hold on as Germany batters Moscow G6, G7, G8, and just maybe the Germans will finally run out of infantry and die.
