Germany Transport to Karelia

Southern Europe, Italy Far East, and Libya```

This is good but the territory you list wont work because Italy didnt own any territory in Afrika except Lybia.

Italian Territories that could be made to have value: In any case the values of aggregate Italian owned land should not exceed 15-22 points

Italy north and south–north=5 south=5-7 IPC

Sicily–2

Albania–1

Sardinia–1

Lybia–3

thats the extent of Italian land interests in 1942, unless you allow German aid to italy (say up to 5-6 points per turn).

Is a really bad idea assuming the Germans have built up a really big stack there.

Bolter,

just a personal question…

Are you a heavy drinker?
With that nick and close
it justs looks that way. :D

ROFL! that’s a good one!

Cheers! is not an exhortation to drink, it’s so people in the boards cheer-up.

I play online WW2 flight sims like Aces High and WW2OL. People really need to cheer-up on those boards ;)

Incidently, I got my nickname while doing carrier trials for an Aces High naval squadron. I couldn’t catch the wire when landing, and that’s what the Navy calls a bolter…it stuck.

With that said…Cheers! :D

2 of the 4 Hollywood women to capture my heart (Salma Hayak and Cameron Diaz being the other two) . . . .

:o What the?!?!…
Was reading Xi’s post and Cameron Diaz came to my mind for you cc as “it takes two” to give the award.

Don’t see enough modern flicks to know Salma Hayak from Uma Thermon(sp?). Would you recommend one of her films, please?

Maybe Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen as the other “one” for dzfish? Oh, wait! I’m not sure they’re legal yet :-? !? Hey, they have their own empire. Anybody wanna picture dzfish as a boy-toy? :o :lol: :wink:

she is NOT a good actress, just a sexy one.
So i couldn’t recommend a movie to portray her acting but Desparado comes to mind (the much bigger budgetted sequal to “El Mariachi”), as does “Dusk to Dawn” (bit part - awful movie tho’), Fools Rush in, etc.

So far we agree. Now I´m just waiting for Big Blocky to answer this thread and argue the contrary.

Remember, when finding the Japanese in Asia, use an orderly, sustained retreat. It’ll hopefully delay them, while keeping their IPC count in check. No running with your pants on fire back to Moscow right away!
:wink:

I agree, as well. It’s just I wonder at the investment: If you’re thinking pure Sea Zone defense, you’d think 3 SUB would be a better investment than 2 FTR: in an attack, the 3 SUBs would score about 1 hit consistently, same as 2 FTRs. But SUBs can defend in Sea Zones (at least against ships), where FTR’s (without a CV) cannot. SUBs are more survivable than FTRs because they have their submerge/withdraw abilities. SUB hits (unlike FTR hits) cannot be countered. And 3 SUBs represent 1 extra casualty you can take should the battle go poorly.

I guess the reason German SUBs never seem to appear in signifigant numbers is the threat of USSR. It’s easy to justify the money spent on FTRs because when you’re not using them to fight sea battles, you can use them against Russia. SUBs are virtually useless against the mainly landlocked USSR and so nobody ever purchases many of them…what a shame.

I think standard strategy is to take advantage of russia’s move and go around their army, and take karelia. let them have to take it back. it’s harder for them than you, especially if they are chewing up their inf in t1 without eliminating the threat to their flank. you needn’t worry about the west if you disable their tranports. you can use your subs, and a couple planes (and a bomber).
or like candy man said shink your front with your tanks (and planes) in reserve - to prepare for a counter attack. then dump evrything into africa, even if it hurts you gotta steal it quick.
