Cruiser comparison picture please

@Screamer It is shared between Russia and the Central Powers. This is the fate of all contested original Russian territories, regardless of which powers are present in them at the time (if Russia has no units present, one Russian infantry is added).

If you happen to have the Avalon Hill version of the game, be sure to check out the Renegade version of the rulebook, found on the Renegade Axis & Allies resource page. It was revised to include all of the material from the official FAQ.

@Central-Powers-boss said in CP strategy:

Otoman Empire: Don’t buy troops… ever… just buy battleships because if Italy’s navy gets destroyed then you can go after Brittons fleet. You can hold out with the troops you have already until your fleet is ready. also I chose to attack Serbia with the Bulgarian troops I got but it’s kinda up to you.

What did UK do, out of curiosity? Based on this they should have just been able to buy in India and roll up the Ottomans within a few turns.

@Running-Away Per page 22 of the rulebook, units of another power may be transported only if that power is friendly. Per page 12, the US is not considered to be either friend or enemy to any other power while it remains neutral. Therefore, the US cannot transport units belonging to any other power while it is neutral.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Yep.

@The_Good_Captain

Thank you so much!

@SuperbattleshipYamato Being damaged does not stop battleships from bombarding.

One thing I like to do as well is to have a transport or two in sea zone 8, then ferry forces from the US directly to Ireland (it only takes 1 turn for ships to move from there), then onwards to Picardy or Brest (the transports in sea zone 8 bridging). They can also move into sea zone 9 and desposit them in Belgium depending on the situation.

Since the PTR the Centrals have won about 50% of our games, and we also have an impassable Switzerland. We don’t have the Italy rule however.

My strategy as Centrals is going after Italy from the start with as much as possible. But considering you dont do that, I have to tell you about my friends strats.

One of my friends buys quite a lot of ships. There are certain advantages, but I wouldnt do it too much. I tend to buy a sub with GE and AH every turn. That way every ally has to consider those subs. They are never really free to move whatever whereever without expensive escorts. And sometimes you can attack a small groups of ships which messes their plans of follow-ups, etc.

Another thing I do is keeping forces occupied by sending their unit count plus one to it. Just so you are sure that those, for example, four units in a Russian province are pinned down and the territory contested. This I do with just inf, which makes it quite expensive, as they don’t do much harm themselves, but this way you cut their supply lines and get one step closer to an economic collapse.
