The position seems pretty historically accurate so far, if I do say so myself. Of course, that means the Axis are in deep trouble…

@Stucifer Yeah, I mean that’s at least partly my fault. The design is supposed to be that if the Italians are nervous about Allied air power, they can leave their fleet in the northern Adriatic, next to Yugoslavia, and then the Allies won’t have any bases they can hit it with early in the game; the Allies have to start liberating Med. islands first, or at least stage their air on Malta the turn before. No Taranto raids directly from London, I don’t think. But I left my fleet in the southern Med, where it’s more vulnerable.

@Stucifer Great question! I had not thought about it. My personal preference is to just let China place its infantry whereever; they have enough problems. But I do want to minimize changes from WW2v3 where not absolutely necessary. Let me know if you have an opinion. :)

@Stucifer You definitely caught my Italians napping! I thought for sure they had another turn or so with at least some presence in the Med. I guess the Greek barracks were a mistake.

@Stucifer Very thematic. I’ve done that before, and it does help.

And, yes, all the neutrals are up for grabs by whoever. A few of them have a couple of armies that will resist any invasion. The truly impassible regions (e.g. Spain, Sahara) are a different color, and nobody can enter them.

@Stucifer Sorry about your poor French tank – I run into that problem all the time. I feel badly because the initial setup seems to call for a tank build pretty strongly, but I don’t know that I want to change the rules that barracks can’t build tanks or that factories require a 3-value territory, and I don’t think French Equatorial Africa can reasonably be made to be worth 3 PUs.

I’m open to suggestions if you can see any ways out of this dilemma or if you think one of the assumptions above should be relaxed!

@Stucifer You should be fine! Four bunkers protecting Moscow go a long way as long as they’re not totally naked. Besides, it’s January 1941 now. If Moscow doesn’t look at least a little bit vulnerable then something’s gone wrong. :)

@Stucifer Still playing? Let me know if there’s anything confusing or anything I can do to help.

@simon33 The fighter+sub bid in the Med is interesting; maybe I’ve been putting too much of my bid into the Atlantic. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve played OOB Global; I tend to play either Balanced Mod or Bloodbath Rules when I play at all. If you crush Italy hard enough in the opening then I could see a follow-up neutral crush being effective around turn 7, as you suggest. I think this would be easiest using OOB rules, which give you more flexibility to concentrate Allied assets in the Med.
