I would concentrate more on my forces in the Indian Ocean and africa than anything. It doesn’t take much concentration to build navy/fighters and try and land in Europe. What is difficult is keeping the UK a world power instead of being isolated in the north seas

I have a question about KJF.
Can you use any russian forces to make a counter attack through the Sinkiang/China route ( co-ordinated with American help from a Sinkiang Ic)?
or is it too much for Russia to spare?

Excellent thanks for the tips vry helpful  :-D

Ok I’m trying to figure out how to best PBEM with my father in Law.
I want to use a software map and he will use the real deal. He also wants to use real dice instead of the online dicey.
Right now I have the programs TripleA and ABattlemap.
My questions are as follows
Can I use triplea with out the online Dicey?

Is there a better map the ABattlemap it’s a little confusing?

Does anyone have some tips for the format of an E-mail I would send to him is there a template of some kind?

I saw a thread here that advocates uniting the geman fleet in SZ7 on G2. Check out that I like it myself and tend to build a AC on G1 alot. Don’t expect to do anything offensive with the fleet however, the best you can hope for is to delay the flow of allied troops into europe.

Also I would never send the Russian AF to britian.
I would however send British AF to Russia :) :-)

I’m glad your bringing up this topic. I love hearing peoples ideas for Britains Forces in africa and aisa. To answer your question with what to do with the 15 IPC’s I have a suggestion. Buy a bomber or a fighter. Send a fighter and a bomber to russia on B1, also grab every thing you have in africa mid east and austrialia and make your way to persia. I’ve described this in detail b4 the idea is to try and unify the british forces in persia where they can actually fight Japan instead of getting picked off all over the place. Yes you are giving up Africa but you woulda lost it any way, same with india.  Disclaimer I’ve nvr tried this in game only triplea scenarios. I think that by B2 you can have substantial force in persia capable of defending Russia’s southern border and even pushing back into india.

Does anyone think keeping the BB and a transport in the med for landings in the Caucuses is worth while? I like it for the bombardment obviously but also for the fact tht you can bring troops from southern all the way to caucuses

Wow now thats dedication to your hobby :-D

YEah I thinki I do Have my SeaZones mixed up sry my map on the Comp is low rez it’s the sea zone right under the Axis and Allies logo

Maybe I have my SeaZones mixed up but it looks to me that the only japanese ships that can Attack there are a BB 2 fighters and a Carrier? vs. A destroyer, sub, carrier, trans and 1 to 2 fighters.

I hear what you are saying though I will keep messing with it to try and find something different that works. Anyone else have some ideas that are variations on the standard stuff? I really think that the British troops in that region have potential.  I like to focus them on one objective either fight Japan or fight Germany in Africa.

Why is the transport going to madagascar?

I would send the loaded transport to the sea zone over there so that I can either drop those troops into egypt or persia on B2 depending on axis play.

To bebo,
  Do you think there is a posibility of pulling out of india and making your stand in Pesia using the two infantry from Aussie and also transporting South africa inf to persia.  That would be like 8 inf plus how ever many fighters you sent to russia on B1. That is a stong front with the flexability to counter attack.

So here is my idea I’d love to get some constructive critisism.

On B1 I want to unite the India fleet (minus the transport sent to madagascar) with the  Loaded Austrialia trany and sub on B1 in sea Z 38 I think it’s 38 my map is fuzzy it’s the zone all the way on the bottom. Also depending on what G did with egypt I will send a Fighter and Bomber to reinforce through Russia. Then on B2 I have a strong force to either take back Egypt or more likely go against whatever Japan is doing in India/southeast asia region.

Any thoughts I’d love to hear some discussion of how to most effectivly use Britians Middle East/Indian contingent.

It’s tempting to just ignore Africa and focus on the main objective that’s how I like to play for the most part. However I think that taking egypt G1 with 2 libya guys and 2 transport guys plus AF and BB is worth it for a couple reasons.

1.It prevents those forces from heading east to stall Japan.

2. I like to transport 2troops and use BB on Caucus on a later G turn

3. I will have 2 to 6 german troops heading east to help J with the British

So I agree that all Africa is a waste of time you will just end up losing it later, with the caveat of G1
