Yoshi (Axis) vs AeV (Allies) R3 No Tech

@aequitas:

I can see the diffrence allready! :-o

The openings are really important for the axis, since they are the offensive nations early on, so a basic step is to work them… I think there are at least 3 good options for G1, and probably a couple more, but I did not play a lot of games on this scenario, so I guess optimization is still possible.

Here I got really good dices, that definitely help !

The idea in this opening is to kill all DD and tp of UK in the atlantic while playing “safe”, so that Germany does not loose air if no scramble (loose some if UK scramble, but then UK loose some too - and probably more - so that’s OK), and odds are still really good for Germany in case of scramble. With no more DD, subs are safe… and should be bother UK later on :) (already on tirst round, that should cost 7ipc in average).

sorry about the edit… played too fast and forgot the obvious walks in…

If you’re waiting to know what the sub does, it obviously dives for another day !

btw, no need to post the saved games for us and china when you’re doing them one after the other without needing me for a decision ; indeed, the forum has sometimes some memory spaces problems, and tripleA saved games are part of the problem since they’re quite big, so if we can avoid some of them that will never be downloaded, th’ats better :)
