No scramble
Yoshi (Axis) vs AeV (Allies) R3 No Tech
-
I think it’s definitively over… I do not see how you can avoid Europa axis to get 8 VC next round…
If you want, we can play a last game with me as the axis (then, I’ll probably focus on the tournament) ; if so, you should take some high bid I guess :)
Cheers,
Yoshi
Man what happened in 8 rounds to get Allies down to 1222? :D

@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).
I played that opening in my current game vs bmnielsen. However meanwhile I think the merits of having invincible subs are outperformend by the big ships the Allies remain. I even don’t think that despite the carrier buy UK is forced to buy units in UK only. Sea lion still too unattractive even against an invitation by UK.
I think that opening should be combined with a Moscow rush. the advantage is that Axis has a little breath in the west due to the invincible subs and Germans usually don’t lose Air G1.
If Germans decide to play a slow and long game I still think its better to remove the capital ships. Those ships certainly came back in round 4-6 and the Allies can invest more money in air/amphibious units and need to invest less in ships to protect TTs.So basically all the Investment of the bids should allways go to UK then?
12 IPC equal two SS ,one placed in sz 110 the other one in sz 111;and or sz98 for the Meds to support the Taranto raid.
It improves the lasting of the capital ships and the sz’s remain in UK hands.
Ger. now is forced to build CV +DD plus whatever.
Hmm, will think about it for my next game, still fileing on my Ally strat :-D JDOW. -

For sure, letting big ships alive should make it painful for Italy. But as I said, I think there are several possibilities as good G1 :)
