@emmettdd said in Game Question On UK1 Attack Possibility:

@Karl7 we did have a turn 5 axis win by going around tobruk. That was fun

I do feel Brits have a much better chance if they give up tobruk and fight in mersa mutruh

Interesting, yeah, I am the first to concede that I haven’t played the game that much to be an expert.

But the fact that UK can throw a 50%ish attack and wipe out the german spearhead, safeguarding Cairo round 1 seems pretty huge.

Sure, if the dice flop for UK, they will have to fall back towards Cairo, but even a trade would be pretty devastating for Germany in my opinion…

But totally willing to be wrong on this

@SirWhiskers

I greatly appreciate your thoughtful response and that you watched some of the vids.

This is my first time trying out this strategy and everyone gets to watch what happens at same time as me. I learned a lot so if I were to trot out Felix again it will go better. I played Italy so horribly first two turns and made some bad mistakes as Germany.

The Italian fleet was completely wiped out on UK2 if that’s a concern for you.

Playing solo, I always play Red Skies with Russia (3 SB’s R1, and 1 SB every turn after). This is probably my 4th game playing Red Skies; previously I played Red Skies defensively - just counterattacks and then the final battle in Bryansk. This game i went all out offense with Red Skies and Russia had all of Eastern Europe and the Balkans collecting $21 in NO every turn. Because Germany went Sea Lion they didn’t have much to hold back Russia and took 3 turns to finally kick Russia out… only to have Russian come right back in and collect $9. Russia is a monster this game. They even started sending armies to liberate Chinese territories.

Anzac declared war turn 2 and Japan took Solomon Islands J3 to take away both NO’s and dropped subs and boats to convoy immediately putting pressure on Anzac and Japan decided to kill Australia first.

As far as whether to have France or UK take the Turkish troops I think it’s a wash. If no Sea Lion, then sure great, 8 UK troops to protect the Persian factory, but the French troops can do that too.
Don’t have to worry about it with this strat because Italy going for Spain but if Italy could take Greece at same time, then Germany can take Turkey before UK2 so France better in that case.

The not declaring war on Russia as well as not taking the NO to make russia choose between $5 and having those free troops on their soil will really make someone think on how to respond.

I’m constantly thinking of out of the box strategies to try in this game because just doing the same thing over and over is boring.

Red Skies - Russia (wave of bombers)
Land of the Rising Tanks - Japan (strat to take Calcutta with no boats)

I used both these strats this game

I have the board set up for US8 now but realized the game is over. Japan is going to take Hawaii J9 and they already have blockers set up to protect it until J10 so I think the allies will concede now so I can get to my next crazy strategy.

I have the battle strip set up for London so that stinks.

My next series of strategy videos is going to be for the UK and I think people might be even more panicky over that strat than this one giving away free infantry.
