Ok

Gauss_Death

Ok, why don’t we start it when you return?

Gauss_Death

Anyhow, want to start a new one?

I take it back, I figured out how to defend against a sub being present.

What happened:
Attacker: Transport + 6 fighters
Defender: 2 Fighters
Result: attacker wins, can land.

What I was thinking:
Attacker: Transport + 6 fighters
Defender: 1 fighter + Submarine
Result: Transports lost, Defender Fighter lost.

Counter I thought I would be forced to use: Commit destroyers which would then be subject to your suicide attacks.

Counter that would work without being subject to suicide attacks: Commit 2 submarines to deal with your submarine. Submarines wouldn’t be subject to the suicide attack.

Gauss_Death

Was thinking about this, a Submarine left next to Japan would prevent the tactic I used (transport landing with fighter only cover).

Gauss_Death

Oh, and the other thing is I wouldn’t let Russia hang around with that large of a stack with the americans able to land a force in Korea.

Gauss_Death

Honestly? I am still learning how to play this version of A&A. Every time I think I have it figured out I learn something new. Playing with you has helped a lot.

How would I have defended? Well, at one point I built a lot of production on the Chinese mainland in order to reduce the need for a ferry to reinforce it. That seemed to work alright. Then I built many more carriers to put the existing aircraft on in order to counter the american buildup.

My strategy was to hold off the Americans in the pacific while Germany won europe.

Gauss_Death

Ok.

Just a note, Russia wont fall in two turns.
This assumes you brought all of the big stack + 10tanks (stack behind it) and all your aircraft + 5 S.Bombers.

Russia will have the current stack plus 5 fighters and 1 T.Bomber from the UK, 1 fighter from France, 3 fighters from ANZAC, and next turn’s production (probably 9 infantry and 1 fighter, not sure yet).

I…don’t know what to say about the battle in sz98 except…wow?

Explanation:
The reason you cannot blitz through friendly neutrals is because the movement must be done during the non-combat move.
Enemy Neutrals normally cannot be blitzed through because there is an army to fight, however there was no more army because it was removed in a previous combat.

Gauss_Death

You can blitz through enemy neutrals. Not friendly.
