My plan

Move units from Novia scotia and move them to the UK.

You need 16 transports

Move 8 transports fully loaded from Nos-UK Next turn Move the 8 trans plus some fleet to z110 make sure the Brits have fighters ready to scramble or use your own and make sure you can defend z110 it is the key. Then on the same turn move 4 fully loaded transports from NOS-UK then next turn move those back and then move the other 4 fully loaded to UK and vice versa. Every turn move units from EUS-NOS to be picked up. Then bridge them to Normandy every turn

Let me guess this is game that didn’t happen is just a joke made up by Gar
@Gargantua:

I’ve discovered it!  In a game I was playing the other day, where the Italians invaded Brazil.  Inadvertantly they took French Guyana (Nothing else to do, with a troop LOCKED into S.A. Early).  This territory became LYNCH later on (Mid to Late game) for my German Campaign of DESTRUCTION!

The American’s ignored it because it’s worth NOTHING!

Can anyone guess what the importance of French Guyana was?

Well if you can’t, I’ll tell you.  But lets see what you come up with after a few posts.

I believe you forgot the…  Bazinga

Please elaborate

@miragehunter:

Will an AB be effective strategy sealion in oob as well? Never really thought of that one before until reading recent posts. Just to bad can’t use scramble.

@Gargantua:

Sz64 also connects to Sz110 and vice versa.

Chaos rules

Inception

Nice painted pieces

And I vote no transport from Berlin to London

Japan: Long range aircraft (Great for island hoping and is great with air bases)
Russia: Advanced Artillery (Good for trading territories)
UK: Improved Shipyards (Great for re-building Navy)
Germany: Super Submarines (Convoy raiding and attacking the UK and US Navies)
Italy: Improved Shipyards (Good for Re-building Navy and for being able to hold out the Med against US and UK attacks in North Africa and Southern Europe)

Doubles tourney?? G40 or AA50

Let me guess is it……

Mistake in map

In Jeh there is soviet art rather than Jap

To edit replace the SU Art with Jap Art and then save the map file in the t40.gim file

This means that you don’t need to replace it at the start of every game

Is have the one with tigerman’s  '39 map. It looks good

Read “world war 2 behind closed doors” by laurence rees

There was a secret part in the treaty between the french, british and poles which the brits and the french promised military assistance against a German attack not a Soviet attack and remember they did not help in the war between the poles in the soviets in late 1910’s and early 1920’s but instead suggested the curzon line (which the Molotov-Ribbentrop line basicly followed)

Also the soviets at Tehran were more interested in soviet post war borders than they were in actually winning the war and remember in 1943 this was not a certainty. They wanted to keep there pre 1941 gains.

This is just a brief overview of some othe parts of the book I suggest you read it. It is very good.

The brits and the french could have attacked the siegfried line before the germans finished it and probably would have been succesful and because they did not co-operate with the Belgium people (I don’t know the correct word) and the dutch because the later two did not want to appear co-operating with the allies because at that time they were neutral. The Germans had a brilliant strategy in attacking (the aaa territory North West Europe) and then following nit up with the tank drive through the ardennes they cut of the Elite French and British troops from the rest of the army. They shouldn’t have allowed Dunkirk and should have forced the British and French into the sea and this would come back to haunt them.
