doesn’t seem that regretful, your odds look fairly good, and better than moscow if I’m reading the gamestate and my available countermoves correctly.

@crockett36 I have one transport and 2 planes that could do Sealion on G3. If for some strange reason I decided to build a big transport fleet next turn, you could easily defend London still on G4.
I don’t think that you have to worry much about losing London until much much later in this game when I have a big bomber fleet…

@crockett36 I liked the ftrs in Morocco. It provided a ready response to the med and Atlantic. Especially since Gibraltar was not taken yet. As @Arthur-Bomber-Harris said, London is not threatened at this time. And if he did spend on transports, he would have to pull back from Russia and the fighters in Morocco could just go back. All bad options for Germany.
Please move the US transport to SZ30.
I think India is safe. Burma is not, but it would be a stretch for Japan to take considering the other goals in the DEI and Malaya. A pure air assault is possible, but would probably lose 2-3 planes and near zero TUV battle…this is where the variance can really hurt, and hence probably would choose a different area to contest. In my book this is a real unknown. It potentially sacrifices 1/3 of our army, for the ability to link up with the Chinese. I’d be interested to hear other perspectives. Since we’re going aggressive with this move, I’d rather have bought 4 mechs + 1 inf, left only 5 in Burma (so I would have 11 defenders still in India) and the option to move in 9 units + 1 AA to Yunnan next round.

@surfer excellent. I will make those changes.

good to go.

Anzac’s turn.

oops wrong game

@crockett36 looks like you are doing relatively well in that game.

@crockett36 I thought we (includes @Arthur-Bomber-Harris) agreed that UK was not in danger of attack so that we could send the fighters to Morocco to prevent the attack…
However, the Luftwaffe could pounce and land in Algeria. If the Italians kamikazi in to weaken Moroccan defense, then the battle should be a net zero and even kill of planes (5 each side). If the Italians don’t attack, the Luftwaffe takes all those hits. Plus being in Algeria is not overly useful for Germany.
OTOH, keeping all of our fighters for later is probably not a bad problem to have. I just hate the sacrifices fleet + french we allowed ourselves to succumb to.
Also, don’t need 2 subs in SZ125. Pull UK SS back to SZ109 for defense.

@crockett36 said in ABH and Crockett36, (A+100) tutor game:
So this is draft 1. I think it is solid. nothing fancy. what do you guys think? Sorry. I did an edit somewhere in this computer that included sending the figs to Mor and the transport to 30. Shall we continue or make the edits? I’m happy either way.

@crockett36 your tutor game and purely for educational purposes. Let me know how you want to proceed.

@arthur-bomber-harris I know it’s Easter weekend. I didn’t see anything earthshaking and surfer seemed “OTOH” about a few things so lets go with my last upload. Germany’s up. 3rd turn.

@crockett36 4.16 germanyh.tsvg
Russia’s up. Should be an easy turn.

@crockett36 what do you think?

Sorry I’ve been away, but here are my comments.
a) ANZAC DD in SZ55 as blocker is not necessary IHMO. The best he can do is 40-60 battle. Even if he wins he’ll likely have only a few tipped battleships and some aircraft that will splash since the CVs will be damaged or likely gone. Thus the US counter will sweep them.If he did win, then he could have also brought troops to take Queensland, but we can defend NSW with all troops and wait for the US second turn to blow them out.
b) Move US transport to SZ30.
c) Why are we buying a bunch of expensive units? Germany has bought nothing but land and air except 1 DD. We can’t keep them from Belarus even with this buy. I like the fact that the move somewhat stalls the advance, but need more defenders. If you want another tank to blitz more territory ok, but mostly want inf.

No problem making the Pacific edits. Surfer is 100% correct about a and b
