I definitely would have taken the 50/50 chance to take out Southern France to deny Germany a landing spot plus kill some troops.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Germany needs to destroy remaining Allied ships in the Med on turn 2. They don’t need their air force for anything else that turn. Losing a couple of planes stinks, but getting the Italian income back up is worth it. Italy should be able to give stress to Egypt around turn 3-4. UK can usually defend there, but at a cost of spending heavily in Africa instead of rebuilding the Atlantic fleet.

Arthur Bomber Harris

I don’t understand the heavy focus on the European side. India is going to fall on J3 or J4 with no significant chance of US reprisals against Japan. Those transports in the Atlantic can be a minor nuisance to the Germans, but the fleet will be sunk the turn after they drop off the soldiers. I also miss why you spent your bid in Africa but didn’t attack any of the Italian troops. I should be essentially wiped off that continent after you spending 20 PUs there. There shouldn’t be a need for additional American soldiers until I4-I5 with so much money spent there.

Despite the large bonus starting money for the Allies, IMHO it doesn’t look good for them at this point.

Question: does the Yukon belong to Germany, or am I crazy.

I don’t see which battle you were asking about the scramble. Since this is co-op and we have such lag in responses, you can make the decisions for me on scrambling unless it is a massive game changer were the answer is not obvious. If you have overwhelming force in the Med against my Italian Navy, I’m not scrambling. If my planes will tip the battle to make me win it, I obviously will scramble.

Arthur Bomber Harris

I’m starting to get the hang of this. I did a standard bovine J1 attack with a failed Yunan raid. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, IMHO.

Good luck as the Americans, China, and UK!

Sorry about the triple attacks. One time it didn’t have low luck so I restarted, and the second time I didn’t get the one troop from Romania participating in the strafe so had to restart. We should be on track now.

I think that this was properly setup… figuring out the system for the first time is a challenge.

Thanks for this tutorial, I will do this tonight.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Here is the save file for the end of Germany. It was quite successful: strafing Yugo, sinking fleet, but the capture of Paris was a little rough, yet still successful.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Definitely do comment. This will be a J1 unless Russia does something unusual/silly.

Arthur Bomber Harris

AD, would you be able to restart with the art in Alexandria instead of Novgorod?

I’m in Denver, USA. I assume that we probably will just be doing one attack per day each.

Scrambles?

SZ 110:
3 fighters, 3 tacs, Battleship

SZ 111:
2 subs, 2 bombers, fighter, tac

I assume no scrambles, but don’t want want to presume anything until I’m used to your style. In general I won’t be scrambling when there is overwhelming attacking force.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Updating my Triple A to newest version and then starting.
