Sending loaded transports from USA to Gibraltar. How many turns does it take before cargo can be off loaded

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Sounds about right.

it is bc it opens the door for a german blitz.

key trick isnt the infantry thing thats too slow.  daves move is to grab the tank off africa to add another one, and use the yugoslavia retreat trick with both germany and italy in sucession

They have copies.

If France isn’t taken by turn 1 Germany is in trouble and the UK will thank you for leaving France intact.  Also the USA would collect all of South America if you hit a Netural nation like Turkey.  There are a lot of other holes in the plan…you assuming above average dice rolling which can’t be assumed. Your also assuming the Russian player is stupid and doesn’t figure out your plan and move to counter it. Because all Russia really has to do is hold on and wait for the USA to arrive to help. This tactic wouldn’t work on me as a USA player because I would be sitting in Rome turn 5 especially with Italy having no fleet in the med I would just park my fleet in the med and let you take pot shots at it with fighters(that would be fighters you wouldn’t be able to use to help take the other VC).

There are flat areas at Gibraltar as well, and lets not forget the history of the German attack on Eban-Emael.  If the Germans had thought about approaches to Gibraltar earlier, they could have demanded access through Vichey N. Africa, make Spain give Er Rif its independence, followed by a German invasion of Er Rif…bring up their 8 big Krupp guns, pound Gibraltar with 562 pound shells every 30 seconds, contest the air night and day, then invade.  Another idea would have been to force Spain to accept non-beligerant status and move through daring the Brits to contest them in Spain.

It will take some time for them to get there. And then some more time to get to the action. Plus, if they were in a constantly moving Pacific fleet (as they would have to be to survive), all the Allies move at different times, so there would be windows where they are very vulnerable to getting picked off.

okay so Portugal actually sucks, Agreed
