i like to buy a transport and immediatly start africa stronghold wherever it is viable. the important thing is to lose the least amount of troops as possible so keep it strong and moving surely and with numbers…you hold the west with 2 on each western shore and all your troops and tanks on the borders of europe…dont lose eastern or western europe at all costs, you want to balance the defense on western by balancing your troops and tanks using the tanks as the candybait,if they take the western most of the 3 they will lose just enough for the other 2 to counter attack if they attack the 2 east most under karilia they will be easy picking on the counter attack…you want to be able to defend the eastern europe.you will never get naval superiority until late round 18 at least…if you try before then you will get crushed by russia…the longer you make the allies take to fortify karilia the better…dont worry about africa they wont be able to get the troops there until round 5…good luck
Is 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific still "to be released"?

That one line from Animal House was always a favorite of mine (as a kid, I actually lived at Hickam AFB and visited Pearl Harbor frequently)… when the computer game Pacific General came out, which offered many tactical-scale battles on customizable maps with a scenario editor, I even made a “Germans attack Pearl Harbor” scenario complete with the German Kriegsmarine (Z-Plan style), with Graff Zeppelin class carriers, loaded down with carrier-capable Ju-87Cs and Me-109Ts. As completely absurd as it was, it was hilariously fun as an homage to John Belushi.
P.S.
You guys should watch Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor if you haven’t seen it… just because it’s no Saving Private Ryan, doesn’t mean its unwatchable… at worst, you can have fun picking out the things that are wrong with it… if you like explosions, you can’t go wrong with a Michael Bay film. -
Edward III, PP: one of your greatest monarchs, very much in the mold of his grandfather, Edward I.
The scene when the Japanese attach Pearl is very good. Haven’t rewatched the film, since it came out though, for all the points already mentioned. Was, understandably, excited about it, before it did.

Correct Witt. One of OUR greatest monarchs. Tell me pray - did any of Italy’s Kings measure up by comparison?
-
We only had four. And they were all bell ends. Our Dictators were infinitely better.

Haha … Did Benito make the trains run on time then?

Was thinking of Julius Caesar, actually.

Oh, I thought he was talking about Alessandra…

How many millions of Gauls do you have to kill to be a great Dictator? And didn’t Rome conquer Italy?
-
Like London is England, Rome is Italy! Actually, I was merely pointing out that Julius Caesar was not an Emperor. I hate that people say or think he was the first one.
-
Actually, Augustus did not call himself Emperor either. Tiberius was the first to use the title.

Yes, that’s correct. Augustus liked to maintain the image that he was simply a “first among equals” (I think the term was “Princeps”) in relation to the members of Senate. He avoided using terminology that in any way suggested that Rome had gone back to the system of one-man monarchical rule that the Republic was supposed to have abolished. In addition to being a talented general and a skillful politician, he had a good grasp of what today would be called marketing.

Totally legit…
