Operation Felix

People on FB and here are continuing the discussion of subs–worthless or worthy, so I’ma gonna pull this plan back up to the top as an example of a detailed, sub based plan.

@gperson2:

… Is there any way to counter this?

what you could do is… remind your russian playerthat his capital is very important and…DEFEND IT better.  :-o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

hahaha…just kidding dont go all stalin on me.
i’ve tried this german tactic a couple of times, its never worked.  those troops get isolated, cut off and crushed when that far behind the front lines. so…generally speaking i agrre with what someone else said, it worked in that game because of thetranport/tank blitz mistake it sound like your guys made.

i tried something like this (it was alpha 2), however i think it would still work. Bear in mind there’s a lot of troll crap to read through.

Here are some of my early posts on a matter close to this: (since you started out asking if anyone has done this)
I have not updated plans for Alpha 2 my focus has been elsewhere.

Below was for OOB I believe not Alpha 2.

This is a link to a plan that got the entire Japanese air force OOB to the Atlantic by turn 5.

(by the way, I coined the term Operation Hollywood for revised 2004 back in the day)

When I play Japan I try to leave the US alone for as long as I can.  I’ve tried different things but jumping in too early againd t the US can be deadly.  Next game I’m going to buy 2 Minor IC’s in the first turn and get them set up on the coast for a better land war capability against the UK and China.

Yes Aaron.

G5 is possible, but not with a G1 attack.

Japan can occupie russian terretories behind china in G4 and take 4 IPCs from the far east, without leaving too much planes in Japan/Mandschuria.

Sea Lion is not an option. Russia grows too big.

You are right! A combined attack on Russia is my favourite solution, too.

G5 or G6 for capturing Moskau is realistic.

We call this tactic “Panzerwalze”. :-D

@larrymarx:

I agree with everything Nagano just said based on my own experience.

I would add, however, that the Taranto raid combined with support from the Indian navy and air force makes advancing in Africa a much harder prospect. If Britain does this combined with a US KIF strategy, I don’t think Italy has a chance of making it past Egypt no matter what Germany does. When I play the Allies, this is my strategy of choice.

Yes, the allies can do that, but then japan is unchecked

Honestly imo in the global game Japan is a lot less of a threat then Germany because America can always come back and crush them later on.
