Does Germany ever build ICs?

@HolKann:

WTF a Russian carrier??
(referring to that 2nd link)

The russian AC saved the day and the Allies won the match…

On the Japan 1 move…

First off, add a bid of 5-9 for the Axis to even the odds.

Then build 1 IC, 2 TRN as Japan on J1.  That gets you SEVEN units to Asia on J2, 9 if the SZ59 TRN miraculously survives…

Also, if you can take India, FIC is a better place for your first IC, if not then MANCHURIA, not KWANG.

I like to build transports first because they can get free units off the islands and also help capture Hawaii, Aus / NZ, India and Madagascar.

@ncscswitch:

How about this option…

Germany has no forces on the board, but we’ll give you $200 to spend on G1.

How fair is that?  How much fun would that be?

A German sack of UK on G1 would be about as fun as a USSR sack of Germany on R1.

I’ve done this game!

It was classic, but it’d probably go just as bad for the Axis in revised.  Everyone get’s their unit’s worth in IPCs and can spend and place them however they want. (Inclides AA Guns and Industrial Complexes.)

We also did it with mobile capitals. (-6 from original capital territory + 6 to new capital territory.)

Want to see the mayhem of an American capital in Sinkiang; British capital in India; Russian Capital in Yakut?

That is an awesome idea!  I’m gonna have to try that!

That is kind of a hybrid view of OOB and LHTR Jen, but it makes sense… FIGs loaded prior to launching of AC (or immediately after)

Actually Switch, 8 infantry would have made a world of difference over 2 fighters.  The W. Russia Stack would be infinitaly more defensable and Caucasus is really never under any real threat.  And even if it does fall, it’s not like Russia’s planning on making more then 8 units a round anyway for a few rounds.

For Revised…
Western:  2 INF, 2 ARM, 1 FIG, 1 AA
Southern:  2 INF, 1 ART, 1 ARM, 1 AA, 1 IC
Germany:  3 INF, 2 ARM, 1 FIG, 1 BOM, 1 AA, 1 IC
Norway:  3 INF, 1 FIG
Eastern:  2 INF, 1 ARM, 1 FIG
Balkans:  2 INF, 1 ARM, 1 FIG
Belorussia:  3 INF
West Russia:  3 INF, 1 ART, 1 ARM
Ukraine:  3 INF, 1 ART, 1 ARM, 1 FIG
Algeria:  1 INF, 1 ART
Libya:  1 INF, 1 ARM
SZ5:  1 TRn, 2 SUB, 1 DST
SZ14:  1 BB, 1 TRN
SZ8:  1 SUB

yea, I got the AI to work.
