How balanced is this game? Might try to look for it.

@Krieghund ok tks

OK, you got the allies. I’ll get Germany. I’ll put 1 sub at Hallifax Sea, 1 art at Finland. I’ll make a thread in Games Progress subforum.

@ncscswitch:

You ahve to allow each side to see adjacent territories as well.  Might even want to allow them to see what is in “aerial recon” range.

Still makes for an interesting twist, since counter-attacks would be largely unknown…

I agree with point 1, but I’d add something to point 2:  Enemy fighters can attack recon fighters and any AA guns can shoot at recon fighters.

BTW, it’s done often and even has a term: “Fog of War”

I have not done it in Europe, however I have played Classic this way.  (We let you roll for intelligence for each die result of 6 you rolled again and that’s the number of territories that did not border your forces you got “intelligence” on.)

well normal bid is about 28 which is 16 extra ipc’s usually that all goes to russia. If you force it to be split, I think it’s pretty even, It might slightly favor allies, but I’m not really sure. I played this way against someone on this forum who didn’t believe me, I was germany, and won easliy (>99% odds on moscow)

what do you think about a russian sub in the white sea for a bid, it seems crazy, but someone did it to me, it was very effecitve. Iit more or less guarentees the soviet convoy, and then can be used for fodder to clean up the subs.

@lnxduk:

I always played that you can build even if there are enemy units in the seazone.

I think this is the actual rule, but you have to have the battle that turn. Not sure though.

That’s how you win. But if you can’t, you’ll at least go down in a blaze of glory.

@Bobby:

For the 12 IPCs just for germany: That means that Leningrad falls in G1 (building a second TRN in the baltic).

Is it worth it tho? Russia can retake it pretty easily, before Germany has any chance of reinforcing Leningrad.

Well, it puts severe pressure on them, if you take the other baltic countries as well. The allies won’t send in fighters en masse, and even if russia starts to concentrate on the north, they have to do it on costs of the precious south (which also means that usually the middle east falls quickly).

if the allies don’t start building transports then germany has no pressure on the fatherland and can build a 10 turn stack if he wants. Transports are needed even if you never invade france so that germany stops building men and builds tanks. at that point you know how many turns it is to moscow, and you can transport into leningrad, convert, and be ready for the belocounter

sorry for runons I hope this helps
