Now, extra German planes in the mid-game can be a good investment against a balanced, slow KGF if Allies don’t have excess escorts. They already defend where they are almost like 2 more inf (6 IPC), also threaten 1-2 fleets that will need extra escorts, and swap easier on land. Combined with the Japanese fleet coming throught the Med, they can paralyze the Allied moves sandwiched between each of them.
But, that’s not ships, but anti-ship build…
How do you respond as UK to this german first turn?

@ncscswitch:
66% to clear Norway, but only 52% to take it.
But remember if you only clear Norway, Germany can still bring the bomber to attack the UK fleet. 1 BMBer, 2 Subs vs. Sub, BB, TRN will kill the BB about 40% of the time. Not great odds, but doable for some players.

Granted. But at least it isn’t BMB, FIG, 2 SS vs SS, Trn, BB. :)
