The flipside of Sealion being a little too playable because the Royal Navy gets obliterated on G1 is that British chances of successfully landing in Western Europe in 1940 (in game time) is zero - and THAT is an absolutely essential requirement for this (or any?) game to work at all, perhaps as essential as limiting America’s reach until war-conditions prevail.

I missed an infantry in NCM for Italy. Can you please edit the infantry from Italian Somaliland to Ethiopia on your turn? Thanks.

It’s just a small point, but I moderately disagree that Italy should get Bulgaria. Germany needs those 4INF for the battle for Moscow. If you are playing Italy as a can-opener on the Russian front (as you should), you are likely to encounter zero resistance from the Soviets. If the Soviets trade an infantry for a 33% chance to kill an Italian infantry, that’s a win for the Axis. If they throw a stack up that could halt or damage an Italian advance (lets say 6INF), the Germans will obliterate that stack at the cost of 2INF (in this example). As long as the German stack can kill the Soviet stack and survive a Soviet counter, there’s no reason for the Soviets to expose any pieces to the Axis advance – the Soviets know that the ultimate goal is to have the best odds on a battle for Moscow and they don’t get those odds by trading pieces at a 3-for-1 deficit in Eastern Poland (or wherever).

This is more a micro suggestion than a macro suggestion, but a method of playing the Axis that I’ve picked up from Stalingradski on this site, is to purchase a naval unit and an air unit every turn as Germany, even as you advance on the USSR. The longer your Atlantic Wall holds through Naval and Aerial Supremacy, the longer you have to overwhelm the Soviets with superior numbers. The idea being that if you’re making a mad dash to Moscow with Mechs and Tanks, and the Soviets are able to trade Infantry for your pricier pieces, you’re much more at the mercy of a couple of bad dice. Whereas if you can delay an Allied landing in western Europe or north Africa for a few turns, you not only ensure much much better odds of capturing Moscow because of the extra cheap Infantry you can get to the front in time, but you increase the chances that you’ll be able to claim Cairo soon thereafter.

Allowing the Allies to get a foothold in Europe or north Africa while the game is still undecided makes your life a lot harder. The ounce of prevention keeps Italy (Germany’s soft underbelly) alive and allows you to fight a one-front war against an enemy that you should be able to economically overwhelm. Granted, it’s not an easy task in the game (mirroring history - that’s a LOT of coastline to defend), but it’s easier to defend with navy supported by air than it is to keep enough forces to defend multiple locations on land.

You use G1 to wipe out as much UK navy as possible. Take a look at some sample forum games for some standard opening sequences - you don’t have enough resources for all your objectives, but you should be able to get him down to just one seazone of ships. With your due attention on G1, and if you can keep the Americans out of the war until after you’ve had 4 German turns, you should get the upper hand in the Atlantic and be able to prevent the UK from putting a navy together until at least then. If you don’t take care of business with the UK navy early, he’s able to add to his forces or hide them until they can merge with the Americans, and you’ve lost the Battle of the Atlantic – at that point it 's only a matter of time until the Allies are landing and making a two or three front war for you. It severely limits your options, makes taking Moscow extremely time-dependent (and a one-shot deal), and makes you need to commit resources reactively instead of proactively.

You don’t want to have to buy what the Allied player wants you to buy, you want to make him buy what you want him to buy. That’s the reason that G1 is so scripted. It all works together: The 1 Carrier and 2 Transport buy, keeping the Soviets and the Americans out of the war, attacking UK navy, the land grabs in Europe to boost IPCs so that you can threaten to purchase 9-10 transports on G2 – it all makes the Allies reactive. He wants to neuter Italy with a UK1 Taranto raid, make a Mech purchase for South Africa, and drop a Cairo IC – you put him in a position that if he does it, then he loses (because if you don’t do that, and he does do it, and you don’t make him pay, then you have no chance to win on the Europe map).

What IL was saying is that “islands” can’t have an IC at all, while minors can only be placed in territorities with an IPC value of 2 or greater and majors can only be placed or upgraded in “your” original territories with an IPC value of 3 or greater.

So no to the major in South Africa because it only has an IPC value of 2.

Warrior -  the dumb phrase is courtesy of Cow; he likes to shoot his mouth off. Don’t worry, though. He normally has what he believes to be a perfectly reasonable justification for using offensive terms.  :roll: If you just sit tight, I’m sure this situation will be no exception.

Vance is right about the amphib tanks – it’s ironic that the armor’s value in an amphibious assault is like 20% offensive (and, at that, only if the battle goes more than 1 round); since the total # of units is limited by transport capacity, 80% of their value is in the 3’s they give you on defense in holding the newly conquered territory.

I totally agree, Vance. If you’re making an all out push, you want an immediate punch and you don’t have time to wait for units to catch up. Given that, if you can build into your strategy that you’ve got some time to play with, there are certainly more effective ways to project forces out a couple more turns given the same pile of funds. Yes, Cow, I know you don’t like playing games that take more than a few hours to play – I’m sure this approach isn’t for you; there IS more than one way to skin a cat.

Declaring that there’s never a reason you’d want to buy tanks? Hmmm. I think that’s an overstatement. As in reality, I think mixed-arms in G40 allows you to achieve your objectives best on a changing battlefield where you have to adapt to changing conditions on the fly. If you don’t have the units available when you need them because you were single-minded in your purchases, you won’t be able to take advantage of openings as those opportunities present themselves.

I’d even go one further – I’m a big fan of defending western Europe with naval and air superiority per (I believe) the way Stalingradski laid it out, plus a couple airbases to get extra 4’s in the battle. It makes it so that you can take your time walking to Moscow and not have to engage in high-loss battles because you know the clock is ticking on the western front. And 7 IPC for an infantry and an artillery play a lot better than 6 IPC for an armor, as long as speed isn’t a requirement. Then, of course, the other benefit of keeping allied navies at bay with the Germans is you let Italy grow into the little brother that can end the game with an 8th VC capture of Cairo at around the same time you’re overwhelming Moscow with more guys than they can kill. And Italy can’t very well do that when they have to worry about Eisenhower landing 12-20 units a turn up their unprotected rump.
