KM?

What does that stand for?! Is it perhaps ‘Kriegs Marine’

@flyingbadger

Another thing I have noticed is that you placed your fighters and tact in Burma, you can better keep them in India, because then you can intercept vs a SBR. You can also protect Burma from India, seeing you can scramble into combat, it would be like if they are there.
Also when they are in India, they can use the airbase to get that +1 in movement and help attack in Iraq if necessary.

@wizmark

Its a hard turn for me. Still looking at what I can do best in this situation.

@cds Yeah, just didn’t have enough troops stacked in Paris for the counter attack.

You should always look at what your opponent is transporting, act accordingly in response. Either have your airforce back in time, or build up enough units in france/west germany for the counterattack. The landing is dangerous and expensive for germany, seeing it has lost the bonus for holland/normandy and because now you have to spend a lot of money and forces to retake it, which were of better use in against Russia.

Yeah, built an airbase in Yugoslavia as it seemed a good idea at the time, but think it just distracted me.

Ill give you a little trick for your G40 game.

Always try to take Greece in R1 with Italy, so that you can land the German bombers (2/4 depends on your R1 purchase, think about 2 bombers and 1 sub) there in R2. You then build a airbase in greece in R2 with Italy (remember that it will cost 15, so you most have that amount to spend) Also have 1/2 armors ready to take Eastern Poland in R2 with Italy.
So now you have a airbase which will give your bombers extra reach, you have a landing spot in Eastern Poland. Most likely your opponent will assume Moscow is save against SBR and has its planes in Leningrad. That are the kind of surprises that will give you the edge over your opponent. Further more your Italian fleet has much benefit of the airbase, seeing it can use that as protection when you land forces in Syria.

@wizmark

I edited the transport in sz96, I had the planes ready to kill it in S. Italy. Hope you dont mind.

@cds An interesting game! I dont know if you are working to a master plan or just reacting turn by turn.
I cant see a pac vc win for axis atm…chinese/russian forces in kiangsu seem to preclude this…and a euro vc win seems a way off due to an unexpectedly strong russia. A late game sealion could be an option with the strong german navy, but that would be signaled with a big tt build allowing the allies to respond.

We started playing our game in a phase where I wasnt really familiar with the ins and outs of PtV, thats why its a pretty open game, where both sides are almost equal (slightly in favour of Allies)… But I dont give up easy, the lessons I learn here can be usefull in other games Ill be playing in the future… The chinese/russian forces in Kiangsu are a nuisance to say the least, but I am not really worried about that at the moment… The problem with PtV is that I havent found a master plan yet… Altough I am pretty close with it in Pacific, the Europe theatre is still a mystery to me… I can say for sure that if we would start a new game now, it will look totally different then this game ;)

Scramble? ;) Dont think so, but never hurts to ask :)

If that’s to one of the territories where I left just 1 infantry then no scramble. I think they’ll be fine on their own… they’re Gandalf

You should ask Leonidas instead to take on the defense, his 300 vs a army of persians ;)

If I had 300 Gandalf’s I might be able to take Moscow for once. The beard will help with the Russian winter, not sure Leonidas’ Mankini would do much to keep out the cold :fearful:

The constant fighting will keep him warm ;) The warm blood of his enemies will feel like a warm bath :)

@bakerbei

No problem! Lets start a game, you want to play Axis. Ill play without a bid, GL and HF!!!
