If the UK lucks out and gets HB in turn one, you can basically call the game, regardless of what bid you put in. All you need is 2-3 HBs SBRing Berlin and Germany is reduced to an impoverished nation.

That’s one of the problems I have with the tech. The benefit, however, is it really does shorten the end game when you have some stubborn j*** **s with 500 infantry on their capital and you don’t want to spend the rest of your life counter building him just so you can get a victory when s/he won’t concede defeat. (and yes, that was an exageration, with 500 inf you could probably do quite a bit of dmg and save the game, but you all know what I mean.)

I have the milton bradley edition. Do you play that or hasbro version. Dont have this type is it the same or different and how?Is it better or not? What type is more popular? :-? “Never surrender” “Let the panzers pass by then engage the infantry!” 8)

I know this is an old old thread, but being a new guy on the board I’m still curious: how many players do you usually have at the table per game? Or are you playing mostly one-on-one TripleA?

Our group is lucky enough to do a full table of 5-6 players once every month or two, with varying skill levels throughout. I think that might be exceptional?

The problem I see with OP Sea Lion is that the UK just isn’t anywhere near as big a threat as Russia is to Germany. Yes, the Germans can overcome the threat easily, but they still need a few turns to do so. Until then (and assuming you didn’t roll only 6’s when attacking the Brit fleet) you can pretty much ignore the UK until you can reduce the defending units of Moscow enough that Japan can take it before USSR can rebuild. (Yea, that means that Japan gets the money, but so what? Build only infnatry in Euro-Asia and Africa and wait until the Japs can take the US.)
