Stukas work on naval? Whoa! It seems z2 BB is doomed! Still, i can’t land fighters in conquered territories, so stukas assure germans can change territories easily.
Moving ICs is sexy :mrgreen: . And could aid me in the long run against you :-D (Vladivostok or Manchuria fleet? … just kidding :lol:) Anyway, I think non-agression pact is better.
That is the fun. Imbalanced maybe, but … who’ll get most screwed? Anyway, is game suited for role-playing.
Mmmm … marines and kamikazes plus my non-agression pact. Shall we see lots of action in Pacific? :-D
Now, about the NA we recieved/chosen
I’m OK with russian winter i received. I was doubting between choosing movile industry and the non-agression pact. Moving ICs is funny :mrgreen: , but i think i need a boost in far east for not be screwed (i suspect i’ll not receive aid against Germany)
Switch chosed stukas thing. I would chosen convoys thing only by fun, but these stukas seem scary. They work on fleet or only in land?
Aj received enigma decoded. It’s good. But I would choose colonial garrison instead radar. Sure AJ thinks he’ll we strategic bomb by both germans and USA? But now he must struggle for keep his empire. I would have put the col. garrison in Australia (India’s situation seems hopeless, stuck between USSR, Japan and maybe even Germany), then maybe an IC in South Africa
Kamikazes: seems randstand fears USA navy build. Anyway, Japan has many interesting NA and the optimal choice is not clear.
Jen choiced marines. I think she choosed very well, because she is going lot of anphibious assaults. In normal games, i choose Chinese divs, but honestly in this FFA, China is totaly screwed, more than India, so marines are the best option
This game seems is going to have lots of naval action, both in Pacific and Atlantic :mrgreen:
Agree with Jen. I think KJF is easier people thinks. Letting Japan rampaging alone is not a good idea …
Japaneses still don’t deserve be “liberated” by the glorious Red Army! :mrgreen:
USSR-Japan non-agression pact
I’m go to bed, pals. I’ll be at the net at about 3 pm to 9 pm (spanish hour, 1 think is +1 GMT), so if you switch are at that time, we both can choose NA and i’ll send USSR 1. Good luck to all!
Lend-lease should be re-rolled too, as is useless. Do you roll both USSR and UK?
Let’s make it quick! NA can be declared on Purchase units each country’s first turn. I want to play soon
So, what are we going to use, techs or NA? I prefer NA, because who gets supersubs or combined bombardment will get almost useless techs.
OK, i’ll keep USSR. So, Aabattlemap plus forum dices, it’s right? Must be Aabattlemap, i have troubles with Java. Dices not mind me, i prefer forum dices, but i could use other. And now, lets role-playing …
That the red tide conquer the world! :-D
Hey! I said i would play this! I join! I suggest define each country’s modifications and then everybody throw a dice, higher chooses country. NA should be chosen by the player.
Well, i could add. How we decide who plays what country? Some bids for UK and USSR? :-D
12 bid? :-o destroyer to z8, G1: sub, des z8, fig kar, bomb ger, all of them to Z1 … kaboooom! or fighter in Norway, 1 IPc for Ger, IPC for Japan for the same effect

Buying two units (or three) in Libia is for short term. Can slow a bit the allies, but in the long race, western allies will beat Germany in Africa if Germany only add two units by turn.
But buying the trannie in Mediterranen sea, you’ll add four units to Africa each turn, so your odds of taking it are greater. It’s a long term strategy. Think those units not only will conquer Africa, they can attack Middle East or even India/Caucasus by land OR make anfibious assault on Caucasus (a powerfull move, many times USSR player won’t notice it, i suffer too much with only two units, but four :-o )
The East Indies trannie bid it’s too powerfull too. Negates KGF menacing any indian IC, can conquer Australia on J1 :-o …
A sub in SZ8 could mean destroing the very two BB England has.
Even the 3 inf in Ukrania is too powerfull, can put Caucasus in severe danger in the very G1 :-o
Good analisis everyone. I’ll remember that LH stuff. Still I think letting axis get a free transport is too much, either in Mediterranean Sea or, as someone said, in East Indies or even Carolines (Australia conquered, J1 :-o). So never greater than 7 bid.
True, but not all use the LH rules. And without long range, sub in sz8 means bomber, 1 fighter and 2 subs against 1 trannie, 1 sub, 1 BB(assume USSR joins fleet). You still have 3 fighters against Gibraltar BB and italian BB against Israel destroyer. German should save at least the bomber, maybe even the fighter.
