Just bought this version and think its pretty good.
KGF is the best strategy in this game by far. The Soviets should pull all their eastern infantry first turn into Yakut providing a large 10 infantry stack easily defensible by adding roving defense from fighters or the odd armour.
Russia attacks WR with almost everything, leaving 5 inf in caucaus(pull back two inf from east, raise 4 infant and place at end of turn creating 9 men and 2 ftr defense)and Belorussia with two ftr and 2 inf leaving 1 behind to prevent a blitz, eliminating important fodder for germany and creating a pyhric victory for Germany because they will attack one of the two large build ups and possibly even losing if dice go bad. Russia can then cut off the force, expand and counterattack eliminating a large chunk of G armour.
The british sacrifice india and pull back to africa with their navy, securing the mediteranean and build a complex in egypt, securing englands holdings in africa and supporting the southern defense of russia through transjordan/persia, this also threatens germany’s underbelly and takes away German IPCs permanently from northern africa.
The US concentrates on a navy bridge with two parts to bridge between eastern canada and western europe. Half way through this phase, the UK can clean out Norway but not take and the US takes it on turn 3 and builds a complex in norway turn 4. By turn four you should be able to have an untouchable allied combined fleet with the UK and US being able to land 4 trans/turn on west europe. This could happen quicker depending on losses in the first turn because this plan is based on losing all allied naval pieces turn 1 except for the british battleship and transport (reinforced by russia sub)which should survive against one ftr and sub. This has worked very well for me.
Rules: Escort fighters in strategic bombing
-
I’ve got another question that came up during our recent game. If I have fighters escort bombers on a strategic bombing raid, do enemy anti aircraft get to fire at the fighters in addition to the bombers? What if there are no fighters defending the strategic bombing?
The case occurs because the attacker declares how many fighters are escorting first, then the defender declares how many fighters are defending. If the defender says “0”, I wasn’t sure if the AA would get to fire at the escort fighters.
-
Escorting fighters are subject to AA fire, whether or not there are any interceptors.

That’s what I thought … thanks!
-
the escorts are not going to battle so they will not be subjected to AA fire.
I think the rule is, first de resolve the fighter battle and then the figters and escorts leave the battle and then the bomber get subjected to fire from navalbase, airbase or factory. and then the bomber drop the bombs.
im i totally wrong here?

What you’re saying is true in the second edition, but this is the first edition forum.
