Arthur Bomber Harris

The major difference with a typical strategy is that you can force the Allies to spend massive amounts to build up a sufficient navy to advance to Europe. I will need 3-4 full turns of spending in the Atlantic just to build up sufficient defense to support transports. That is 2-3 extra turns compared to typical strategies. You won’t have to worry about a significant invasion force until US8… that is quite late.

Arthur Bomber Harris

This was truly painful… I couldn’t block your progress without risking losing my capitol. I can’t stop your Italians without losing six infantry; I can’t afford using that many troops to slow you down by a single round. Dark Skies is powerful!

The French plane was supposed to be on Gibraltar. Could I trouble you to move it there?

Arthur Bomber Harris

As you can tell, I couldn’t figure out the Edit mode to get the Italians into your desired location. Sorry about the mess on my turn reports….

You are right that the Germans need to take the southern route.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Gibraltar is certainly on my hit list this turn for the Allies. I need to check out my options when I’m back from work. I will then be able to move my fleet over there in another 3-4 rounds if I can hold it.

Arthur Bomber Harris

It is painful to see Japan earning so much money. At least the forces are now in position to counterstrike. Hopefully I will have sufficient time to build up my Atlantic navy before Germany crushes Russia.

Arthur Bomber Harris

This is my last good turn for Russia. The storm is here and there is nothing that I can do about it for another five turns.
