Yes. I believe I commented on it on the forum.

I’d like to know some major events/moments on the wiki before 2020 (when I came), as well as previously major posters and writers here.

@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Allied play in Europe 1940:

Since this is in the Europe category though, I’ll ask AndrewAAGamer to explain the merits of the Gibastion strategy. I know this is Europe 1940, but my experience suggests that the effects of Gibastion should be similar to Global 1940.

So, @AndrewAAGamer can you please explain why you like the Gibastion strategy (assuming you do)? Thank you!

First off, I am no expert when it comes to Europe 1940 OOB. I have only played it once face to face and after the game was over we realized we used the wrong National Objectives. Therefore, I cannot say if Gibastion works the same in Global as it does in only Europe.

As far as OOB goes the two main reasons people use Gibastion is 1) it saves the British fleet units in the long run and 2) it removes Sealion off the table immediately. Italy gets some extra money but, hopefully, not enough to compensate for the sea/air unit savings the Allies achieve. My guess is most people do it to remove Sealion but I can’t guarantee that as I have never taken a poll regarding this subject.

@Witt It’s just that an ally, who shall remain unnamed, was sure that this game was all but over. But I was worried that the Commies under your brilliant strategy and with the aid of your Turks, was capable of taking out Russia; which was the only path for CP victory.
