…when you say “other than that sounds good”, do you mean besides the fact you are going to lose it’s ok?
This is what a high ranking officer said to Hitler before he comitted suicide, I speculate. :D
Instead of spending full funding on the fortress, spend only about a quarter of it so you can use the rest for fighting the Allies - like on the Eastern Front, keeping Russia at bay.
I only analyzed the part with the Navy fortress. I didn’t quite go into the financial and opposing forces part of it. I did, but not really thoroughly. Perhaps if one could tweak this fortress strategy, it might be profitable, but until it is altered it remains a dilemma.
I have never used that many big words in one paragraph. Two brain cells for the Major!
The thing is what if the Allies start attacking that fortress? The Russians or American certainly would eventually be able to send a task force at it… You defend obviously, but they just keep attacking and attacking until one of you is completely wiped out. You’d have to spend a fortune on strengthening that fleet rather than on invasion forces… That’s my thoughts… Other than that, sounds good!
I’d give them no attack and maybe one defense as well as cost 8 IPCs. Just like regular transports. Perhaps to solve the infantry loss problem you could do it like this. Any plane hit on the first round of combat loses the infantry. Any round of combat after does not, to simulate the jumping and landing in enemy territory.
Im going to write some of this stuff down and try it…
I’ve got another quick question out of curiosity if that’s okay. When would it be worth invading a neutral country? You see I’m working on a new plan and I wanted to know if incorporating neutral territories was worth it. You have to pay 3 ipcs which could be better spent on infantry, but perhaps you could invade a neutral rather than do an amphibious assault… I dunno, just thinking out loud.
my head hurts. I gots the brains pains coach!
Heh. Of course they are talking about the changed rules in Edition 26 of the game. In Edition 27 bombers can land on the compass rose and send kamikaze attacks off sea zones and into map insets. It’s in the rules, you can check it…
Rommel said what I was thinking. I didn’t agree on the AA guns attacking the troops along with the bomber. If I were firing off a flak cannon I wouldnt shoot at the guys, I’d go for the whole plane. That way I get to hit all of them at once. And another thing I was thinking, what if airplanes are also defending the assaulted territory, do they get a special ability on the paratroopers? I’m kinda just thinking out loud…
