Last time i played the Germany player on t1 used 2 subs to attack the UK DD and CV on G1. The CV was damaged the DD destroyed and the fighter had to land at Gibraltar and the carrier had to go back to the UK to avoid being killed. This prevented Taranto, but it also meant that more of the UK fleet in the North Sea survived.

RE: An Easy Italian Fix
I agree with Calvinhobbesliker. The German ability to sink the entire RN is ridiculous and yet nobody complains. Italy loses 3 naval units and everybody cries havoc. 1 turn represents 3 months so 7 days w/o declaring war IS an insignificant amount of time.

RE: Any After Action Reports Yet?
Wait could somebody tell me how USA is making 100 IPCs? I was under the impression that with the 30 IPC wartime bonus they make something like 82.

RE: Any After Action Reports Yet?
A J2 or J3 dec of war would keep the USA from demolishing Italy so easily I would assume.

RE: Most valuable U.S. fighter plane in World War II
P-51 because its superior speed and great range singlehandedly won the air war over Western Europe for the Allies.

RE: Tanks too expensive
I still buy artillery occasionally mostly with the Soviets to support my huge stacks of infantry when they attack. I also find they are useful when making an amphibious attack as well as other uses when attacking. I think they are still a very useful unit.

RE: UK1 @ SZ 95 scenario question
I agree with panzerjager it wouldn’t make sense for Sealion to be that easy for Germany and still be competitive on all fronts. Balance must be maintained or one of the fronts will surely collapse on the Germans.

RE: How many mistakes on Europe 40??? Let's wager ;)
I plan on raiding AA50 for Italian tanks…and if I feel I’m short pieces then I’ll get em from AA50 as well. But i agree with one of the above post (whoever it was). Only a fool makes the same mistake twice and if there are many mistakes in AAE40 then my opinion of WOTC will be a poor one.

RE: Larry talks about France
I think Japanese molds would look proper with the French. What I hate is the British tank mold. The cromwell would have looked way better.

RE: Improved Forced Perspective Map
Question…after France falls will British and American naval units be allowed to enter the Med via Gibraltar? Now that Gibraltar is a strait…

Wonderful! Yet ANOTHER handicap for the Allies….so frustrating

RE: US Strategy
The problem in my situation is that my opponent insists on turtling his navy and airplanes on a base with an airbase and naval base making it next to impossible for me to move without him smoking me.

RE: Rule Clarification
Oh I have another one. This I’m almost positive is allowed but my opponent seems to not agree for some reason. Say I attack a Japanese aircraft carrier with airplanes both carrier bourne and from a land territory. If I have only one carrier and the land planes can’t reach a land base I’m allowed to make a “risky” attack with more planes than I have carriers assuming I will lose a plane or two, correct? (thereby ensuring I won’t have too many planes for carriers) And If there are too many planes then the extras are lost.

Rule Clarification
I’m currently in the middle of an AAP40 game and I’m in a situation where I need rules clarification.
Damaged BB and CV…do they suffer movement and attack/defence reduction due to the fact that they’re damaged? If so what are they?
Thanks in advance. -
RE: Mech Infantry-Halftracks
If India doesn’t fall they can be useful to the British for getting to the front lines quickly
