@CentralCommando I love this discussion. This is a lot of fun so please don’t take this the wrong way anybody, but my opinion is that solo play is not very helpful. In the fewest words, I never see anything new if I play myself.

In contrast, if it weren’t for @VictoryFirst I don’t think anyone would have found the “Finnish Fork” in Europe. Gamerman seems to have found a (perhaps) functional Pacific strategy in Classic that nobody has seen. Some of the best use and manipulation of the revolution rule in 1914 came from @DoManMacgee and on and on.

Just to take Hilltop as an example. I saw him play all those solo games of 1914 and then asked if he wanted to play a game. He obliged which was awesome. I took CP out of box and defeated him. I feel strongly I was able to do this thanks to experience (and can say more about this if needs be). Here is the file: O18.tsvg (BTW, Hilltop is a great human being on and offline)

Interested to hear other’s thoughts on that though. My mind isn’t completely made up on solo play.

@barnee

Counterattack Mersa Brega Round 1 with 2 Infantry, 3 Scout Cars (1 round only), and a Bomber? Up against 3-5 German units and AAA. I wouldn’t call that counterattack “very strong.” On the outside chance it works, Italy easily retakes Mersa Brega and the UK has little left.

A Suez Bomber in setup is pretty risky. Axis takes Benghazi R2 and Tobruk R3, which leads to a high chance at an Axis Major Victory. Maybe a Total if Malta is starved.

Keep in mind that most Axis Totals happen in R6-9, not in R5 like you might want. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing Cairo fall. The ones that capture Cairo by R5 are usually due to bad rules knowledge or poor play (“I forgot to detonate landmines”).

Andrew’s comments are spot on.
