Exil Gov and ACME Wall

@bakerbei I thought the Nimitz card was great for Global until you read the booklet and it says it doesn’t apply to seazones. Which makes it really not that effective since most of the game you are staging and protecting naval bases. I think it would be really interesting if it let you get the 4th movement point. In fact I think I am going to just ignore the booklet rule and allow the Nimitz card to use the naval bases.

@AndrewAAGamer - Your logic is also supported by the fact that bidding (hence some level of imbalance) is still involved, correct?

That is my understanding… yes.

@MindBlownAstronaut said in Rule clarification:

Lets say that Britain on their turn deploys a destroyer into a sea zone that has a german sub. On frances turn could they take a fighter and attack the subs? So that then in that battle there is a British destroyer and French fighter attacking a german sub. Would that work is is that not allowed, couldn’t find it in the rules.

Definitely not allowed. While multiple powers can defend together in the same square only the active power’s pieces are usable during the active Player’s Turn.

In essence, the British destroyer is completely ignored.

@dazedwit

It took a month but this game finally ended on J14

Axis were setting up to have Ottawa be final victory city but Russia liberated Cairo so had to keep going until Japan took out San Francisco

@Booper Thanks, yes I was looking over some league games to get an idea.

Holland airbase may sometimes be built on round 3 to deter an American airstrike on the German transport fleet after sealion.  If you are seriously committed to sealion on the very first turn no matter what, then building the airbase G1 it is a better deal than a carrier because you will go into G3 with a battleship instead of a carrier.  Normandy naval base will repair it for you so 2 hits to the battleship saves 2 planes just like the carrier, but the BB also attacks @4 and the base costs $1 less.  The best part is they might take the bait and attack it and lose planes, which is good for Germany in any sealion scenario.  More likely your extreme level of commitment to sealion should lead the allies to play conservatively with their air forces, so there will be no attack on your battleship, no Taranto attack, and USA may build in preparation for sealion rather than focus on Pacific defense.  The big downside to it is you are basically locked into sealion because if you don’t go through with it, you will have to tie up an awful lot of resources defending it for minimal benefit.
