For the far east route, Russia loses 15 IPCs of early game income (the fact that it’s early game matters, because that’s very flexible money, whereas midgame income is when Germany is already at your doorstep and your options are greatly reduced). That’s 5 inf that’s gone. Let’s just go with that for now to keep this simple. 5 hp, and 10 on defense.

And then you must keep some ruskies in the far east to keep Japan from screwing up the air base. Let’s assume this is at least 6, and be very nice about it. That bumps us up to 11 hp and 22 on defense that won’t be in Moscow by R6 or R7.

America would need to be sending in at least ~7 fighters to make that kind of investment worth it. More than 7, and it’s definitely been paid off… defensively. The loss of those 15 IPCs, however, also reduces any offensive moves Russia can make either early on or if Germany weakens its stack too much by sending units south toward the Caucasus and oil fields. But it’s not all bad, of course, those American fighters make bombing raids on Moscow much harder for Germany.

It’s a risky proposition, the eastern route, which is why I said in my previous post it would take a good bit of thought (and words) about all of the pros/cons. I would strongly prefer the Cyprus route as an Allied player, I believe.

Okay, the entire Italian turn likely depends on this one thing:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28562.1890

Situation:

SZ 1 touches SZ 2, SZ 2 touches SZ 3, SZ 3 touches land territory

SZ 1 has one friendly transport, can pick up an infantry.
SZ 2 has one enemy sub
SZ 3 is empty
land territory is empty

May I send the transport, alone, over SZ2, ignoring the sub, then hit SZ3 and do an amphibious assault into the land territory?

Or must I bring a warship to escort it over the sub, or would this ignoring subs with escort rule only apply when doing an amphibious assault from SZ?

You sneaky punk! I did not see that bomber in range of my transport. That stings pretty hard.

Time to think about what to do as the Axis in the light of you pushing both theaters at once as America. You definitely invested enough to outpace German naval spending.

Europe is much more forgiving for new players, and supports 5 people simultaneously. You also have a 2v2 or 3v2 dynamic in the Atlantic, so everyone has a teammate, whereas in the Pacific it’s Everyone vs. 1. Less fun for me at least, especially as a beginner.

I voted Europe like a week ago, but I figured I’d actually post since so many people are suggesting Pacific.

Jesus, I know, I take back all the mean things I said about what UK did to Italy. What Germany did to the U.K. med fleet was every bit as unfair, perhaps slightly moreso.

I might be overextending Japan just a little bit too much, but I think I can keep it together.

Don’t forget to +10 America at the end of their turn after they make income, sir.

I think I’m going to go extremely defensive and only make very safe hits with Germany and let Japan win this one for me. Your small Atlantic fleet is spooking me, haha.

Maybe I can even save Italy from oblivion for a few turns.

That fight in SZ 96, where your cruiser got my submarine, and I didn’t get your cruiser, hurt Italy really, really badly. It also sucks I didn’t get any hits on Taranto, damn it :p

At least you sucked hard on your convoys on Italy; that would have shut Italy down completely otherwise.

I also see you building up in the med with the US a bit. I wonder if you’re going to take that to the Pacific, or stay in the Atlantic.

Either way, decent first round, looking forward to the second after ANZAC!
