German med fleet?

What’s Germany doing on the U.S. West Coast? I’ve never seen a game where that could happen, although East Coast is possible, just not easy to hold for long.

5. Always keep the BB and TRN inside of the Mediterranean.

6. Land all ftrs in W. Europe at the end of T1

Germany must defend on three fronts…
Eastern Europe, Africa and Western Europe.

You should disable the allies fleet as long as possible and hold your territory in Africa as long as possible.

Buy 8 inf and 1 transport on T1 (you can attack Egypt with maximum force on T2)

Keep buying infantry and hold the russians at base untill the Japs are at the gates from Moskou/.

@F_alk:

The bomber then has to land either in syria or egypt. Do it, i still have one tranny to reach you there . So: yes, i can lose the newly built tranny, but the UK will lose more if they want to take it.

The bomber can land in Syria. Then bring troops from India and Egypt (leave 1 INF in Egypt to block a blitz). Then you can only get the bomber with 2 INFs, BB and planes. Plus the Allies can take risks and absorb the losses better while they are in better economic situation. :x
@F_alk:

Not? What a stupid bug. Can you any amph assault through a sea zone you had to fight your way through?

I think this happens in general when you fight the sea battle and try to land on enemy controlled territory. You can do it in the combat movement, but you’re stuck in the combat phase. :evil: But it seems someone has develop a dice cheat for cd. That put the end to cd playing :cry: but we don’t have to put up with the bugs anymore. :)

We’re playing with restricted first turn (USSR can’t attack first turn) and higher IPC allottment to every nation except (you guessed it) Russia.

This is the root of your problem. If your group feels that the Axis is underpowered, then your group should use bidding to determine the Axis player, and how many extra IPCs they get. Search the internet, and this board for more information about bidding.

Generally, RR is enough to balance the game for middle-experience players. Bidding is needed only when experience grows to the point where the axis can not win anymore than 10-20% of the time.

I have been reading the threads regarding Germany turn 1. I believe that even with a RR it is still nearly impossible for Germany to do anything. I have a question what about taking the transport and grabbing 2 guys from Finland and putting them in Africa? What should I do about Eastern Europe. I am basically pulling out of ukraine except 1 guy putting my armor in germany in italy and leaving 9 guys in Eastern Europe setting up a dead zone for the Russian to attack. I purchase 1 trannie and 8 guys. I do nothing with the battleship and bring over 2 guys to libya. Next I take 1 tank and 1 guy 1 territory south of libya and I land a plane in Libya. I also wipe out all British ships and leave the Russian stuff alone.

I did once and highly regretted it. Japan had attacked India, taken it, lost it taken it back…etc. They called on Germany (I, conqueror of Africa) to help and I took it myself w/ 2 ARM. Unfortunately, Japan chose not to reinforce me and the USSR took India back. Japan took India AGAIN and begged me to land a FTR for defense and I did. They promptly moved OUT and left my precious FTR to die alone. Needless to say I never played alongside this guy again–at least while he was Japan.
