so, your plan is to pull off a sealion-attack on G2?
if not, than maybe the british fleet can be reinforced by those ships from the mediterranian etc. as jamesaleman described it here:

greetings
i had a similar idea conferring to nenetsia and the rest of the northern russia, but not with taking moscow as the idea behind it, but all of those northern territories.
a description can be found here:

to return rapidly to germany from seazone 127 just build a naval base in finland. so it won´t take two turns to come back to seazone 112.
rock`n roll
okay.
how many subs normally survive then? how many planes germany looses? (i am asking sake of what to buy for UK on turn one)
yeah,
but this would mean as the german player that you exactly know what the british is going to do! can you read other’s mind? :D
the point is: germany goes first! if germany decides to buy two or three transports in round one, this counter is a dead letter, of course. well, if not…? in this particular game which i took pics from, germany only invested in fleet and one artillery. that is why uk bought fleet, too.
maybe i should ask: what would anyone buy in G1? :? :-D
rock on :mrgreen:
you are welcome!
and yes: it is a huge problem that all german aircraft and fleet can reach that british one. but if you calculate the odds a bit (knowing that dice always f**k around with odds), anyone can easily peceive that to destroy this very british fleet germany has to attack with all aircraft and subs or with some planes and some navy or all navy etc.
the latter would mean that any new built german transport is without any protection.
it is likely that the british fleet gets destroyed but not flawless!
if you choose to buy two carriers you can put all planes on them adding a cruiser and two destroyers to join this fleet. but in UK home territory there are only three infantry and a tank to find.
and it is correct, too, to mention that all depends on german buys. if germany buys one or two transports in G1 its getting harder for the british to choose whether to buy. but i would leave the taranto raid anyway aside. gathering that fleet equals more pressure for germany helping russia this way far better than keeping italy small. therefor i would go as usa directly to the med with all means.
well… the gambling goes on!
yes! war of atrition… :evil: :-D
Hello,
yesterday i had an idea about how to counter a german strategy for sea lion on G3.
why not buy as UK player more fleet instead of nine infantry?
what about a battleship and a destroyer (or submarine)? or a second carrier and a cruiser?
this means, of course, that the british fleet in the mediterranian would not attack the italian one. the british would gather in sea zone 109 getting together (without buys) one fully loaded carrier, two destroyers and one transport.
i believe, accompanied by the buys, with this fleet the british can threaten the german navy, to provoke a german preemptive strike or to build up more defensively for transport protection.
i know this is not a sound strategy, yet, but i would like to discuss it here on the board if it is viable or not. thanx.
rock`n roll
p.s. i did some pics showing one possible scenario after round one.
yeah! :-D
but this happened accidently due to playing late at night… 8-)
