Is this the beginning of a turn-around for the Axis, or merely a last-ditch Battle of the Bulge?

:-P

@Bardoly:

Well, I’m just wondering how many other folks out there are actually going for a G1 naval buy in the '41 setup?

I have felt that it might be doable, so I decided to play a few games with a G1 naval build.  Right now I’m playing 6 different League opponents as the Axis, and in each of the games, I purchased 1 bb, 1 dd, 1 inf for G1.  (It seems that the bb/dd purchase may be better than a cv purchase, but I’m not sure.)  I’ll post my results later, but so far, it’s been a mixed bag.  I’ve got the definite advantage in a couple of the games, a definite disadvantage in a couple of the games, and for the other 2, the games are still fairly balanced.

A G1 naval purchase in the '42 setup definitely seems a little easier to do for sure, but in '41 does it stand a chance?

Answers from people who’ve actually played with a G1 naval purchase please.  :wink:

Well, this thread kind of died off, but I wanted to post an update.

I started 6 ’41 setup games against different opponents with me playing as the Axis.  In each of these tech games, on G1, I purchased 1 infantry, 1 destroyer, and 1 battleship.  This anchored my German Baltic fleet in reality.  Here’s how the games have played out so far.

Game 1 – +9 IPC Allied bid to Asia (1 inf each to Yun, Ind, Kaz) – Axis won in round 11.  German navy survived until the end.

Game 2 – +9 IPC Allied bid to Asia (3 inf -> Phi) – Axis won in round 5.  German navy survived until the end.

Game 3 – +3 IPC Allied bid to Asia (1 inf -> Phi) – Axis won in round 11.  German navy was destroyed in round 3.

Game 4 – +9 IPC Allied bid to Asia (1 inf each to Yun, Bur, Nov) – Axis won in round 10.  German navy survived until the end.

Game 5 – +9 IPC Allied bid to Asia (1 inf each to Yun, Ind, Kaz) – still going in round 17, and the Allies have a strong advantage.  German navy was destroyed in round 5.

Game 6 – +3 IPC Allied bid to Asia (1 inf -> Phi) – still going in round 9, and the Allies have a slight advantage.  German navy was destroyed in round 7.

So, if the Allies pull out the last 2 games, then the Axis will have won 4 out of 6.  That’s not too bad.

I’m wondering though if the following G1 purchase would be better though.

3 infantry, 1 destroyer, 1 aircraft carrier

Thoughts?
