Back to submarine … what if you attack with 2 subs and 2 destroyers vs an AC with 2 Figs and a destroyer?
subs dont get first strike because of destroyer so does it just matter what order you roll in?

Indeed.

Now I have a question regarding Bombardments … if UK has 2 BB next to west europe and the US invades do the UK BBs bombard?

I’m pretty sure there is one currently in progress right now already. I guess you’ll have to wait til next time.

The Dice sim on DAAK you speak of is it BOP Dice Sumulator?

What I mean is like do we roll the dice or is there a program used online

Ok I want to try this but I just have a question is how do you decide the dice rolls

@Jennifer:

If the US is going Pac strat, then yea, you could take out the British fleet.Â

G1:  BB/TRN to Gibraltar. (Take it with 1 inf, so British planes can’t land there.) , Either attack TRN in E. Canada or move Sub with BB/TRN.  Buy AC, maybe AC + SS or two.

G2:  Join fleets in SZ7.  You now should have: 1 AC, 2 FIG, 1 DD, 1BB, 2 TRN and 2-5 SS (depending if you bought two and/or used one in E. Canada)

That’s a huge fleet and more then enough to stop USA/UK from landing troops in the Atlantic for a LONG time (assuming the US went Pac instead and UK couldn’t take out or block your fleet merger somehow.)

You’ll of course experience a significant set back in Europe for a round or two.  But you’ll own Africa no problem and be able to push on to Russia since the Allies will be unable to land troops for a good number of rounds from that point on.

Still, I don’t recommend it.  There are too many “IFs” in that plan for me to be happy with.  Though, it is a tactic I’d use in a “fun” game.

If the German BB and TRN attack the British BB in sz13 then Germany will likely not capture Egypt which will allow the Brits to swing their Indian Navy into the Med which they can use to attack the Germans and reinforce Egypt perhaps which would make it harder for Germany to take and with another UK fleet attacking Germany thats bad anyway

If you are willing to commit the money you can buy perhaps some more ships for the Baltic Fleet and maybe even attack the British Fleet if you are ballsy enough and doing well against Russia. Of course if US is doing its job then you probably cant wipe out the fleet anyway

I have beaten it on every difficulty multiple times. I like the game style nd everything about the game.

ok sounds interesting

@Jennifer:

I could see a tran, maybe two in the med….to me the carrier in the baltic is cute, but not as good as, say, 2 infantry, 2 armor you could use against Russia.

Playing one now, looks like his entire fleet will be crushed under the heal of the British Empire with maybe a bit of mopping up with the US and he still won’t have the british fleet destroyed.

If you don’t build a carrier in Baltic on G1 the British can destroy the Baltic fleet pretty easy on UK1 with just 2 fighters and a bomber which will destroy the transport which can be used against Russia in Karelia which would be a waste to just see destroyed. At least in my opinion :-)

Hate to revive a dead topic but I am curious in if anyone actually figured out how to add in Italy.

what does PBEM stand for?

I usually buy a carrier on G1 for Baltic fleet after seeing how effective it is and I occasionally buy a transport for Med depending on how my opening turns go because the extra Africa IPCs are a big help and if i can distract US there then it is good.

i understand all the people i play with have never used this strategy so I haven’t encountered it before.

@ncscswitch:

Also suicidal in most cases :-)

yes but US prolly wont c it coming and if u have like 4 trans in med you can shuttle over say 4 inf and 4 tanks when usa has eastern us lightly defended you will b able to do damage in N. America maybe taking Central America and all of canada by blitzing which puts you up 10 ipcs, very helpful. I realize you will say it is a waste of ipcs but it will cripple US and distract them from pacific and atlantic for a while. hurts uk and usa at the same time and if u have been using those trans in the med you prolly should control most of africa and if japan took india nd possibly australia nd nz then uk will be gaining 8 ipcs per turn  :lol: which essentially puts them out of the game for a while and as long as u have a pretty good defense against russia you can counter attack. If japan just holds the US and UK pacific fleets at bay i think the axis can win.

i realize this topic is about the opposite coast of the US but im just trying to c if this is a viable strategy bc i like it.

Japan may not be easily able to land in North America but something I noticed is that Germany can … if they build a lot of transports in the Med then move them to Sz 13 (?) under western europe they can invade Eastern Canada. You might all know this but I didn’t notice until recently. Very sneaky

my least favorite is russia because its basically only ground forces and basically only infantry until you r making about 30 ipc’s a turn at which point you probably already won and it is pointless to continue … as us you can always battle japan and go island hopping while shuttling troops to europe/africa. As japan you can expand a lot which is fun. Germany you can do basically everything in a lot of places. and uk is fun

if u plan on leaving russia alone they will b able to build up and then rape you and if you are building navy and shuttling to africa you will not have sufficient forces on east front

i love this game it is awesome
