Thing about 6+1 is the fighter can scramble so it is a double defense (he has to have ships). Not all Germany players buy naval round 1, I am of the 2 bomber 1 sub crew. Keeps the threat real.

As long as Japan can get India out of the picture Europe is so much easier of a win.uk pacific acting as a back up Russia is hard for an Egypt take down

Cow

Typically Russia retreating ,18 inf 2 as to Russia kind of forces Germany to G6 or g7 or choke Russia income with other means. Japan is happily making money.

Cow

But yeah keeping the 18 inf around in the Pacific can be problematic for my J1 Dow.

Thing about Russia helping out Asia and middle East is it does require USA to send bombers to Russia. Nice thing about bombers to Russia is that it can attack mech/inf/armor that tries to go past Russia to choke it’s income… USA bombers can of course attack ground units if the axis go heavy middle East as well. It takes a round longer to get to Russia going the Africa route.

USA bomber is very very effective against a j3 Dow because you can get bombers in on USA 5 in time for a G6 all in on Russia… Of course it doesn’t make it in time for a G5 all in. But you can get Anzac air for that or UK pacific air in… Generally UK pac is safe from Japan in that scenario.

I still on occasion g1 Russia and j1 swarm east russia… It is a cheese strategy, after Japan has to either take out UK pacific or shut down Iraq persia Egypt or union factories for the Europe win. USA bombers can stop a G6. So Germany is forced to go G5 with full force. All in fast game strat.

Cow

Giving France to italy is silly, I rather use German air to blast UK ground so italy can walk in

Cow

The Russia into Africa point, I like it generally, 2 mech 2 armor is more than enough.

Lately I prefer early russia units going to china. Both are good. You can do both if you buy bombers with usa and bring them into russia within 2 turns (they are really expensive infantry for this purpose, use them to attack lone units germany has)

Cow

Easy if you do this, get units to Russia asap. US bombers from scotland make it to Russia, fun fact :)

If I do J2 dow, I am generally leaving Japan sea zone empty while I go fetch some islands.

Page 12, Europe rulebook, in the Declaring War box:
“During your Combat Move phase in which you entered into a state of war, your transports that are already in sea zones that have just become hostile may be loaded in those sea zones (but not in other hostile sea zones). In effect, transports may be loaded in their initial sea zones for amphibious assaults before war is declared, while the sea zone is still friendly.”

This is for my personal reference for future games.

Cow

I am sure I can load and offload the round I dow, but if I start doing J2 or J3 dows again for whatever reason, I need the link for new players to show or a quote with page number for rules.

germany dows on russia, cruiser on transport, does it stop loading up? Like can I load onto the transports and unload for combat?

Cow

Germany Dows Russia, can germany load on to transports with cruiser contesting the water?

Cow

Gg

Cow

Yeah I am very aggressive with Japan, if India presents itself early I always take it.

Cow
