Rock On

Peace Out

If I remember correctly, it’s typical for Germany to take Karelia the first round since Russia is not going to have enough force to keep it. The main duty for Russia is to make sure Germany cannot use Karelia’s factory to produce new units next couple rounds, meaning Russia needs to take it back if Germany conquer it. If not Allies will be in difficult position.

It isn’t Spring 1942.

Agreed…  using bombers to industrial raid can be devastating…  Especially when the opponent gets a 50% hit ratio on your bombers.  I think using bombers to threaten navy or trade territories makes much more sense.  There’s nothing like going in with four bombers, losing two of them and getting a total of 3 damage to an opponent to see the futility of industrial raids.

of course, your mileage may vary…

Get the UK fighters to Moscow to add extra defense. Buy mostly infantry and 1 tank a go. Launch attacks along the front at places where you are even in strength, but where there are no enemy fighters. Use your fighters to inflict losses in the attack

If it looks like you have killed 3 infantry, and he only killed 2, take that as a success and retreat. He will be down one more infantry than you and will have a harder time attacking your territory in the next go. USE RETREAT! Remember he has to reinforce from a greater distance. The more losses he takes at the front, the better, as long as your forces are a little ahead.

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

If germany concentrates power in Berlin and leaves just one infantry in coastal territories this is the best defence.
Because shore bombardment is useless and next turn germany recovers agin easily that coastal territory.

Sometimes it maybe more worthwhile to fortify both France and Germany. That way you are denying 6 IPC to the Allies, and those can make a big difference to the UK, and you’re not spending units retaking it.

Also, France has a VC. You may need to hold it for a round to achieve victory. Or, as in the case of the game I won as the Allies, you may need to hold it to stop Allied victory. I captured France with the UK, liberated Karelia with the US, and captured Kwangtung and Philippines with the US. Kwangtung was an oversight and the Japanese player didn’t think I’d attack Philippines. It wasn’t desperate on my part, but I didn’t think I’d get a better chance while USSR was still in the game because Germany was going the southern route.
