That would be more like the miracle of Jehosophat, who put the singers in the front line and “who praised the beauty of holiness, instead of shouting out a battle cry.”
@crockett36 Lol - yes! So many Biblical references can be made. I was thinking more like the loaves and fishes: stretching your limited resources to feed the multitude of your hungry ambition.
@Argothair Hey, I was just wondering if you knew that I read your Russian strategy on Youtube under allied playbook game
@crockett36 Where is that link?
I’m having to adjust my strategic objectives. Previously it has been 1. Atlantic 2. London 3. Moscow 4. Egypt 5 Bombay. In that order. I’m considering switching to 1. Atlantic 2. Moscow 3. Egypt 4. Bombay 5. London. My reasoning is that if I have control over the Atlantic, London should be an easier rescue than Moscow because of the proximity.
Also, in my argumentum ad absurdum experimentation, I have tried abandoning Bombay. I’m playing a game right now with myself where I abandoned Hono and save Sidney and Bombay. I’m considering a game where I abandon Moscow. People say Moscow will fall to a Ger who knows what he’s doing. So why not try a game where you just don’t care. Instead you use the resources available to make significant gains. Just a thought. Worth a computer sim at least, if not a triplea game. I’ll call it my crazy ivan.
@crockett36 yeah, but you should not abandon moscow just because.
You should allways try to slow down Axis, so that your Allies are in Position to Strike down Axis or fortify key positions.
just like to experiment. I won’t try that against you.
a non fortified Moscow has the advantage of giving the Jerries the impression it will be a piece of cake ergo they send less troops, other ventures seem promising, etc
remember, repeating the same mistake over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
@crockett36 I like the out of box thinking. Are you going to detail what the other Russian ventures are? I mean, we can take some good guesses…
Scandinavia! China, the Balkans through Turkey are my ideas.
does anyone have recommendations for screen recording software? mobizen is great for android. I’m looking for windows.
read a sticky about the Japan playbook and incidentally he said send Bombers to Moscow immediately.
Latest efforts at the playbook is to not worry about the allied income but knock the axis income down by strat bombing and convoying the axis income. By the way has anyone got America to 85 and how?

In BM USA can get over 100. OOB, you might require The Philippines and a couple of money islands. Harder to do it in Europe.
The reactivation of France feels like the worst thing that can happen. It would make the Western front worth it economically. Alas, we play the game that is, not the game that we wish.
Since math says the Philippines is turn 6 plus at the earliest, I’m going to stick with strat bombing the capitals.
@simon33 South America and Spain would get America real close…
@weddingsinger TRULPIN, DONT READ I keep hearing the refrain "against experienced players Russia will fall. against experienced players Bombay will fall. So I ask myself, what could Russia do really well and neither Jap nor Ger could stop. My answer right now is Scandinavia, China and keeping the Krauts distracted. It could devastate the Japanese efforts there and continue the flow of “free troops” into the region. I am combining that with US strat bombing of both capitals and convoying the Italians with the starter fleet, British Med/Middle East dominance. The allies might have game, so to speak. My purchases for the Brits and Americans have been carriers, bombers and fighters and 1 mech and 1 tank/turn for S.Africa.
lol. I love it.
I’ve been considering a few things like U.S. bombers in India taking down random Japanese soldiers who are solo in China (Balanced mod)
I will say that mechanized Russia works well against Germany if they do make a mistake about doing anything other than going after Russia. I’ll still working out the right mix of units, though.
@weddingsinger yeah, I did a huge air raid on Egypt and cleared the field for the Italians. On the other side, I’ve used planes from carriers off of w ger to hit the n Italian troops thus taking away the take back troops that rob the allies of keeping france.
