@alan-adair look at the ones of General Handgrenade or Young Grasshopper

@nolimit well it’s a very limited number of attacks so not that ambituous. Combining the Med and the Pac fleet, together wirh some subs even gives you a good chance of Tarznto in the 2nd or 3rd turn.
The luftwaffe can come and get the fleet but at a high cost.

@nolimit well we never play online actually. But we can record our next match. Do you post games online?

@the-captain well against our group pretty good. Italy doesn’t really know how to react.
On triple it gave me victories as well but against mediocer players i think.
Downside is you do give a form of initiative to the Italians so it can provide some surprises (for exemple suïcide transport to Malta or Cyprus to deny the UK bonus. but if Italy overstretches than they’re dead round 2.

Rule question: can Japan end it movement of his fleet (transport incl) in SZ26 when NOT at war with US?

The rulebook states: Japan may not end the movement of its sea units
within 2 sea zones of the United States’ mainland territories (Western United States and Alaska)

“within 2 spaces” does that mean two or less?

@panther but what if you send them in to bomb an air or Naval base, then they do participate in the dog fight?

@argothair yes that indeed is an issue. That is why i stop doing taranto but this form of Gibastion. This way i save the fleet and carrier. So UK 2 i move them (UK fighters from the Med and London who are now in algeria) to Egypte and there on to Moscow. Togethee with the Anzac fighters this gives Russia a bit of breathing space.
The factory in Egypte buys subs and a fighter turn two and from turn 3 on fighters abd Land units .
It is not the perfect plan but wirh a US going 75% KJF you can’t invade Europe direct.

@cow how would you react to a J1 as an Allied player?

@taamvan the META is Ger is unstoppable if they push all in to Moscow.
You can hold Moscow but then you lose the Pacific or Med. We find US always coming too late.

@taamvan what is the correct allied response to J1, go for Germany?

@squirecam @crockett36 @Argothair

Lately we do this:

Asume the lose of the cruiser at Gibraltar and DD and tpt at Canada by subs.

Don´’t scramble G1 unless he really gives you the chance to kill fighters.

Attack the sub at Canada with the DD and Bomber land bomber on iceland.

Kill tpt and DD at tobruk. With fighter from Gibr and TacBomb and cruiser

Tobruk strafe is possible without the tpt (and add the tac bomb).

In NCM take persia.
All fighters from UK go to Africa (territory under Sahara).

Take Persia. With Med Tpt .withdraw all what can to Egypt. Put the DD as blokker under Greece. Evac Czrrier to Red Sea and add fighter/tacBomb from India. Now Egypt is Safe from landings. On UK you can have all your fighters there.
Buy 1 Bomb, fighter and 2 men.

Pacific: buy men and take Java.

US needs to prepare for the London Calling to desuade Ger from Sealion.

@barnee @crockett36
No Line is not within 3 spaces of the East Coast.
What do you think of the general idea? Surprising the axis and still being able to switch to europe

@argothair @crockett36 @simon33

For years we have been switching between KGF and KJF as Allies. Building on East or West as US side gives away your initial plans off course.
Building in S-Francisco is giving Japan a heads up to start preparing for a naval clash with US.

This is a brainfart:

As US you built for three turns 100% on the East coast (carriers, DD, tpt,…) as if you were preparing for a KGF, forcing italy and Ger to prepare and makingJapan believe they free reign. The Pacific fleet shucks troops to Hawaii as normal. On US3 you send everything (Eur and Pac) to Samoa. It can be reached from New York, Hawaii and S-Fr. UK Pacific builts a Naval base there UK3 (they need to save their income).

From there you are one turn away from Queensland and thus the money islands are in reach. All reinforcements can come via a built on the East via Samoa to Queensland coast so your supply lines are safe from SZ6. And you can switch to a KGF easily.

Did it once and it surprised the Axis player like hell. Unfortunately systematic bad dice shred allied play so no matter the strategy, it was a lost game so no valid after action review possible.

@superbattleshipyamato correct but at war US can use this base.

@crockett36 i made a topic on that here on the forum, it´’s still on the first page here.

@gunnastunna93 nope. Where did you hear that?
Maybe part of the Gibastion move?

@thedesertfox can you elaborate on your combineren UK ANZAC fleet strategy?
What do you buy for each country and what are the moves?

@thedesertfox your fighter cannot attack Hunan and fly to suiyan because in total that would be a total of 5 movements…

@MM1940 wauw what round is this?
UK is pulling his weight but where is the US?
I´d say attack the Italiaans with the two UK groups and defend South Africa.
In Europe try to snatch and hold Norway.
Russia is doing good.

@MM1940 oh nice! How did the Brazilian ANZAC strategy work out. Is it a keeper?
