Grabbing Philly is out of the question. Would need 3 blockers and we don’t have the resources for that yet.
-
I kind of like the idea of taking Iwo Jima. We only need a little force there, so can probably stay by the Carolines.
-
Will assign an aussie sub to sink the tr by Celebes.

This is my suggested build for US. The sb goes Atlantic, the rest Pac.

@AndrewAAGamer, why didn’t you kill off the aussie des in z34?
Because I forgot I had an airbase in FIC and could use planes to hit it and still land on my carriers off Java.
-
An overlook then. Makes sense. Would you have used only air or chip in a sub?

Not sure I understand why you are buying the two transports since you have a transport coming back from hawaii. I probably would just bring the one transport back in the pacific and build the one inf and then focus on navy and air.
I think fighters still have precedence over bombers because you want to be able stack the carriers to defend them
In the Pacific, I would consider using hte US fleet to take Marianas. It puts the air in range of Japan so he has to be mindful of that (although it looks well protected at the moment) and it also threatens Philly. Plus it will make it easier to grab all the islands around Caroline. This has less value in BM for income but it reduces the threat to Caroline islands since he loses places to land his air. You also might be in a position where you can split the fleet between Marianas and Caroline Islands in order to increase your threat in the south.
I’m not sure what you are thinking with the UK but I would recommend stacking the fleet and the subs in 98.
-
Yes, forgot to mention where the UK fleet in the Indian Ocean was heading. Either z98 or z80. I think I have a preference for z98, since that puts pressure on Italy, and we want that.
-
The two trannies is a mistake. Should only be one. I blame my kids.
-
I would like to get a bit more landing power, to be able to make heavier and more threats, like Tokyo, Korea mainland coast a s o.
-
Marianas is probably a better outpost than Iwo Jima.
-
I want to get the bomber-production going. When having Norway, it’s great for staging multiple SBRs all over Germany.
-
@trulpen :) I usually will just try to make sure that I have a transport chain of 1 in Hawaii, 1 in 10 and 1 with the US fleet. This allows me to sacrifice a transport if I need to without losing the landing threat and over time the number can accumulate (I try to prioritize trading ANZAC transports for Japan ones). I think the main thing right now is to have a threat of landing (ideally with both the US and and ANZAC). The chain also gives you a landing threat of 4 land units in Japan. Once I clearly have naval superiority, I might increase the land/transport build if I think I need to.

Makes sense. I’d still see if you can get 2 to 3 fighters built so that on the next turn you can have 10 air on the US carriers in the Pacific and have the US carriers in the Atlantic loaded too. Maybe with the savings from the transport and reducing the sub build, you might be able to get that.
-
I’m planning to have 1-2 aussie figs on a US carrier, which makes a higher need for J to protect tr’s.
-
I’ll change the build. Can’t post atm, but maybe in an hour or so.
-
Um. There is real danger in attacking Norway. G can buy 3 CVs and attack with 4 ftr, 5 tac, 2 sb + 1 SS. 60-40% battle. But the Italians can soften them up, if they kill just 2 guys, the German attack goes to 90% with 70+ TUV swing.
-
Sacrifices Italian AF and much of Luftwaffe, but killing 7 trans + entire Atlantic fleet is probably worth it.
