My apologies :/

Actually, I just realized I forgot to edit out the Scotland fighter from the 111 battle…how does that affect your move?

Place Units - Japanese
            3 transports placed in 6 Sea Zone

Turn Complete - Japanese
            Japanese collect 40 PUs; end with 45 PUs total

Production/PUs Summary :

Germans : 39 / 68
    Russians : 37 / 37
    Japanese : 40 / 45
    Americans : 50 / 52
    Chinese : 9 / 12
    British : 28 / 28
    UK_Pacific : 10 / 17
    Italians : 10 / 10
    ANZAC : 10 / 10
    French : 13 / 0
    Dutch : 11 / 0
    Mongolians : 0 / 0
    Neutral_Axis : 2 / 0
    Neutral_Allies : 6 / 0
    Neutral_True : 18 / 0

For a live game, here’s a couple things that work for me:

1. Have USSR lock in what their siberian troops are doing, then have Japan start their turn (works in the early/mid game)

2. Have ANZAC do their turn at the same time as Italy (except for the egyptian inf)

And as always, no matter how many players there are, always plan your move while your opponent is conducting theirs. It helps to do this in the opposite theater from where the action is. So if you’re the Allies, plan out Europe-side while Japan is moving, and plan out Pacific side while Italy/Germany is moving.

Scramble in 35?

Oy vey, I just realized that I somehow completely missed that you did intend to scramble Scotland…I am terribly sorry about that :/

How best to correct this? Since dice have already been rolled (quite unfavorably to you, I’m afraid), should we just roll the fighter and round 2 here? (assuming you’d keep the fighter there) Again, very sorry for the mishap right out of the gate.

Overall can’t complain. 106 was annoying, but 110/111 went swimmingly….FOR YOUR CREW!!

Let me know if everything is in order. I won’t be able to post J1 until I get back from work.

This is like the basic sea lion but with some minor adjustments. You are doing Southern france. You power slam Yugoslavia.

You can make 71 income potential (if convoys from the french miss) 9 transports and a dd purchase… potential… you can drop 6 units on to scotland in round 2 then pick up 6 more units and drop. Bringing the total drop count to 6+6+18… 30 units. Plus your air. Italy can bomb an airbase if necessary. Italy can land a fighter onto scotland to scramble to defend transports if necessary as well (against the 1 french fighter).

Even if you make 68 only… that is still 28 units + air drop potential. Southern France is nice because if Naval goes to gibraltar you can blast it.

This is an excellent write-up by a seemingly controversial character on these forums. The strategy is sound though.

My gut says that perfectly average results would heavily favor the axis, regardless of which strategy they took. However, I play pure luck exclusively, so I have no proof to back that up.

UK can also buy all subs T2 and have decent odds at preventing the entire landing from the get-go.

If Germany does not buy for Sealion on G2 and US goes KJF, then UK just buys Egypt/Persia minors and never buys a single unit in London until US swings back to Europe. In other words, if you’re not going Sealion, why bother bombing London?
