heh heh I only checked the Pacific rules :)

You were not wrong to check the Pacific rulebook, there it is on pages 14 and 36.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah true, you are right. We are still playing currently.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

I think that’d be a really good idea because urals factories were genuinely a big contender to the war. Would people ever play with it though is the question?

@Cornwallis

I agree with the main points you made in the Pacific.

@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Let's talk the Taranto raid.:

They’re a bit more useful in the Pacific depending on what the Japanese do and how much focus the US is putting there. A British fleet by itself cannot stand up to the Japanese.

Its funny because this is exactly the reasoning I had in my head on why I would keep the carrier alive. You’re definitely right that a British fleet alone can’t hope to fight Japan but its the presence of it that I’m backing. That is, should Japan want to sink it, they will have to commit a decent amount of resources to sinking a carrier - resources that will be pulled away from other critical areas of the map. That’s all theory though

No one collects the income until someone controls it. Normally if the ping pong move is used, Italy will then attack it.

@Argothair said in UK Strategy -"Middle Earth":

The fighter+sub bid in the Med is interesting

No one else does as of yet. Although I have seen people do the same attack but with 2 fighters from London. Which is highly dangerous. One game I was playing axis and was disappointed to have 2 hits.

While I am always ready for gambling attacks, as they make the game more interesting, you must always ensure your defenses are secure.

Never sacrifice the strategic locations unless a more strategic position is being threatened. In this case, London must be held against potential sea lion.

Build planes first turn, as they defend against sea lion, and also can be used later in the Mediterranean very easily.
