Re the 1 art 4 tank purchase on R1, it looks really unbalanced.  But, if you move the inf in Eve+Kaz+Nov west on your first turn, you basically get 6 inf free, so it becomes a 6 inf 1 art 4 tanks purchase, which doesn’t look quite as unreasonable.  I still gravitate toward either 4 inf 3 art or 3 inf 3 tanks, but I wouldn’t rule out 1 art 4 tanks.

Kind of my thoughts.  I just wondered if anyone did it?

I think if you were ultra conservative with Russia and only attacked W. Russia with everything you had, you might be able to pull of this buy.  It would result in more cash going to Germany on G1, but that could be survivable I think.

It is shorter than Guadalcanal. D-Day is the shortest A&A game (poor play aside.) Guadalcanal is a close second though.

Only one AA gun per territory can fire, no matter how many are there.

GK for that!  LOL

hahaha, oh man I was in tears, especially when I read Morden’s post.

:-D
In the movie; Battle of the Bulge, there is a scene where the german generals are discussing this story about the chocolate cake, still very fresh, ( I think they may have actually eaten it) and saying if the Americans have ample resources to spend on shipping cake to their soldiers then we are lost. Something to that effect anyway.
Another story, off topic, sorta, is that some bomber crews were talking about all the different kinds of ordanance that we were dropping on germany, and one crewman said, “We’ve dropped everything but the kitchen sink!” So on the next mission, you guessed it, they brought along a kitchen sink and threw it out one of the side gun windows during Bombs Away! :roll:

no thats illegal. Just DL the AARHE file which is the basic map for AAR

Right.  That is legal for a FRIENDLY landing, but not an amphibious assault.

And it is true that aircraft operating alone get to fire on enemy SUBs ONCE before the SUB can submerge (in revised anyway).

Personally, I think that the SUB should be able to do its opening fire step as a “submerge” against an air only attack.  At a bare minimum, allow the SUB to roll its “to hot” die, and if they hit, they submerge before the aircraft could attack them.

Historically, SUBs were killed by DSTs, not aircraft.  Aircraft inflicted SUB casualties were pretty low for most of the war for all sides.

Thanks Cpt Jack et al. I shall have to play like that in the future then. Last game we had Germany took Russia, but because Britain got Southern Europe it could churn out unlimited tanks there, and this proved Germany’s undoing.

Yeah I was half wondering if you were being sarcastic or serious, hehe. I might do that then :)
