I’d be a bit nervous about NWP since it looks to me that he has enough to take and hold it if he commits the Japanese air as well. I don’t think you need the inf there and that inf is better conserved for attacking NWP after. You don’t need much to shift the scales on NWP. And I don’t think you need to protect Alex. Or at least you don’t need so much. That fighter and mech are better to have to support a counter on NWP. I might be wrong that NWP is, if safe, a good move for him. It does allow the Soviets to push back and pulls units away from Japan. But I would be nervous about him getting Persia and Iraq out of this.
He also can possibly destroy that fleet, but it requires him to commit the Italian fleet and then risk German air.
I also don’t think you need to keep air in Norway to protect it. Any attack by him risks trading his air against your land units. With two air there, that battle is not certain for him and even if he wins, he on average loses out on TUV. And although I don’t see him attacking Moscow, I prefer to keep those odds lower. And you get another fighter to support a counter on NWP. One option here if you want to do both is to keep a UK fighter and send a FR fighter back.
It might still have been early to do the Navy build in 80. But just to explain stacking Yunnan. He either attacks India by sea, or through Burma. If China can threaten land units in Burma he can’t go that route so he has to go by sea. The fleet in 80 means that in order to use transports he has to move enough fleet to protect them. That pulls fleet away from the Pacific and means that the US can threaten more there.

I’ll look again, but when I checked NWP looked like a crushing battle (like 90 %) if G went there. Maybe the two sb turn the tide? W India is safe, so perhaps put all 4 inf in Persia then?
After your explanation I understand the logic of Yunnan. I’ll have to think about that one. It’s good if J is committed to using fleet only for Calcutta. At the same time the fleet in z39 is safe now versus the UK-air. Would’ve been very different with navy in z80.
If J goes to Burma with the small stack, perhaps it’s an idea to go down to Yunnan first then? It means the units either has to make a stand in Calcutta and likely be obliterated or that they have to simply retreat to Shan state. For this to be feasible, UK needs enough power to kick ass in the turn after. Likely possible with the tanks and mechs around, so don’t think we need 2 more inf in W India now for that purpose.
Regarding z98, the fleet will sure take some commitment to destroy. Perhaps UK should not allocate the fig and the mech, but be satisfied to keep 2 inf there? Then he’d have to allocate his sb, which makes an attack on z98 even more suspect. Think there’s a 75 % defence if Italy goes all in. Could save the left-overs if Italy doesn’t (easily) control Alexandria.
On the other hand, 2 more inf towards NWP will certainly be valuable.
Already sent 3 figs towards Finland, so no way back to Moscow since there is no ab in Norway.
Think Moscow has a 80-90 % defence with the french fig. It would be a desperado if G goes for it, and I would be happy if they did. Of course, things are starting to look rather bleak for ze nazis.
@trulpen I might be misjudging. It looked like your odds were under 50 if he brought the SBs and the air in 39.
The concern around W India is both him to committing to an attack on it, but always making sure you have enough units that he can’t safely stack India. He can put 9 units there now. But it looks to me that you are fine and you could probably pull inf from W India to Persia.
My calc on Moscow was about 33% for him. This is one of those situations where I am fairly certain he is not going to take that risk, but my anxieties lead me to put another unit to be safe.
I think stacking Yunnan can wait another turn if the fleet doesn’t go to 80. It does hold back Japan’s income where it is now, and forces him to commit air to Anwhe

Italy 5: Is my capital safe? Yes. Once Italy kills the two UK transports there is no attack on Rome.
Strategy: Long term game now so go for the money.
Italy has to protect the Continent while Germany turtles and threatens Moscow. Therefore, Italy needs to retake Normandy. Can’t do it this Turn so set up for next Turn. Kill the two UK transports and call it a day.

Convoy disrupting in 3 locations, although J can hit all three, it’s usually annoying as hell and displaces all his 3 des, of which one already is displaced though.
Consolidating everything else with the rest of the fleet. The 3 figs land on US-carriers. The fleet is extremely secure what I can see, so the third fig may leave and we won’t need any blockers.
Both aussie and french inf move up through the ME.
The french des will find a haven in z92, helping to rid Italy of their NO. Might this be the time for an ab in Gibraltar? It will be vulnerable to the east and we want to be able to move the UK-fleet without sacrificing our little companion.
I think it is time for a US power move somewhere, we should pick a side and spend 70-30 or 80-20 till we have the upper hand. I think that the pacific would be best, because any heavy spending in the Atlantic wont have an impact for a few turns, and even then the impact wouldn’t be worth the effort.
Atlantic side stable, the Germans cant grab Moscow for a while due to far east men coming in, and the NO income. Middle east is also more or less secure, or will be by the time that the Germans can march their infantry all the way down there. I think the best place to hold is Iraq, given that India has fallen (if it comes to that, will need Atlantic planes for that though, he definitely can not get to Egypt if you prepare).
You should go for Novgorod, would be a crippling hit to Germany. Germany only has a minor to defend, and doesn’t have any substantial troops up there already meaning Germany would have to match your spending (or mostly match, defense is cheap) without Italian help. Italy alone can hold Normandy off, and can counter significant allied spending with a little German help, no point in going hard there.
My original plan with the french inf in UK was to put them in a US-trannie and ship them over the channel. That should be better, since if G buys a carrier to take out the sb, then it’s their loss.
I agree with US-spending focused on Pac. We need to keep Norway and Normandie secure, which might need some extra figs. More bombers would be nice as well to SBR G to threads.

Its a good build, but I would also consider building a sub, transport, and inf.
The move with the subs is good but only if you can take out his destroyers after. He doesn’t need destroyers in 35 for a turn because you don’t have US subs that can hit him there.
So I would only suggest doing it if you are going to be able move the fleet in such a way that those subs are in range of your US or ANZAC air. And that might be difficult to do in both the South and the North.
You are correct I’m also one of those with longer life experience, I’m 67. Great to meet someone with that same background. I’m very glad you are taking it upon you to get me started.
I’m from Belgium, so our time difference is 9 hours. That’s why your message and mails were not yet answered (it was night over here).
I’ve played quite a few games on the original boardgame 1984 and was glad to very recently discover the forum and TripleA. In the mean time I played a solo WW2 revised and won against the AI at level ‘easy’. I also played an online game with someone and lost. It was a bit of a challenge it as I had to get used to the new map and the new units, while learning to work with the lobby and the interface of WW2 Revised in TripleA. But I think I’m doing fine.
I only started playing a solo game of global 2 days ago. This is a huge difference with the 1984 boardgame version.
I made my first move
I first got a big surprise by the ‘scramble’ ability by the British, but escaped without too much damage.
