So in this case your OOL is Fr fighter, fr dest, uk fighters, right?

Yes, FR fighter, FR cruiser, UK fighters (hopefully it won’t go that far).

AK_Grown

I meant seeing the rolls in person and figuring out what to take depending on what’s left.

We’ll see how it pans out - I have a feeling though…

AK_Grown

This is the problem with PBF -

If you only hit once - take FRA fighter
If you get two hits - take both FRA pieces

Trying to save the cruiser for the shore fire coming - but I think you’re going to sink it.

AK_Grown

That’s interesting…

YES scramble everything - 2 UK fighters, 1 French fighter.

Take French as casualties before UK.

Submerged your subs since no DD in 111.

I know that in TripleA you can place multiple Chinese in territories. I prefer board version - which is why the Chinese are set up the way they are. Just FYI that’s how I’ll probably play Chinese since…that’s how we play on Saturdays.

NO scramble

AK_Grown

Have not thought about Brazil though

If memory serves, Anzac is one move from Brazil (from NZ). I’ve seen it done, it really didn’t change the outcome though.

AK_Grown

Whatever is extra I send up to France to protect that area and allow Germany to continue to spend most money on destroying russia.

This has never even crossed my mind…

Thanks for the ideas!

AK_Grown

I doubt your stupid All he has to do is leave one surface ship (preferably a destroyer) in sz 94. Sz 93 is already blocked by the Frenchies. All you can get to the sz 92 battle with Italy is 2 fighters (if Germany took S France on G1) and a bomber. Probably don’t need to explain why that is a bad idea against carrier loaded, 2 cruisers, 1 destroyer. If sz 110 wasn’t attacked you could add a Battlship and cruiser to that.

If UK is sitting in 92 with no blocker, its usually because UK1 buy was an AB. I’d rather take out what I can and rebuild from there.

edit: I did try going a different way with Italy and was eventually able to claim some Rus/Mid east territory with Italy. I had alright blockers in the med, but the problem was the 8+ transports slamming my coasts from Gib that game (US/UK).

AK_Grown

As for the UK navy. I only attack sz 111 with 2 subs, 3 fighters (1 from Norway, 2 from W Germany), 3 tacs (all from W Germany).

So 109 and 110 UK fleets still alive? (I’m figuring 2 subs for 106 to get rid of Canada transport). Do they get taken out by Italy when they all go to Gib? If UK plays soft in the Med and just takes out the 96 ITL dest, that could be…

3 Crs, 1 dest, 1 loaded AC, 1 BS and 3 troops + AA sitting in Gib (or 4 troops). If UK buys an AB and pops it in Gib - that’s another 2/3 scramble from fighters (starting and one from UK or 2). Hmmm…to the battle calculator.

You can look up Young Grasshoppers G1 strategy for some insight.

I’m going to have to. I’ve liked some of these strategies around here.

@ghr2:

@AK_Grown:

I like to do this sometimes. � Instead of buying a Navy in G1 - I’ll just do a basic buy, either troops or a plane and troops. � UKE will lower their defenses (I didn’t buy Navy, I’m obviously not going UK) and will focus on the med or Africa. � G2 - transports (5-7 depending), launch on G3 - take it 85% of the time. � Then just move on down to Gib, let Italy out - and take out US. � Hasn’t worked quite like that yet, but its come close a couple of times.

My 92 stack gives the UK incredible flexibility in defending sealion, and still threatening italy. I would have like 5 less infantry than normal, but I will be bringing home all of my air, navy, and maybe the malta garrison. Easily makes up for it.

So you stack 92 on UK1 - you’re going to be leaving the Med on UK2 to protect against Sealion? Then Italy grabs Gib on their turn…

Maybe I’m a stupid player, but I send the house as Italy when UK sits in 92. I then let Germany clean up on their turn (planes from Italy, HB’s from W. Germany). It only sets me back 1 round.

Are you buying an AB UK1 for Gib?

AK_Grown

A destroyer in 46 & 49 stops this. You can use the ANZ crs to link up with UK fleet in the Islands. Anzac 1 should be a destroyer if you even remotely think Japan is gonna try for Australia.
