Thank you!

By flexible, I mean any build that’s not all-in, like major IC or huge ground force off the bat. In this case (practice game against myself), I built 1AC/2TT, which I (perhaps wrongly) consider flexible in that it doesn’t hurt too bad to switch to full ground G2/onwards.

Excellent point on Italians preventing the deadzone–thanks for that! Couple of followup questions though: What is the difference to Russian responses for Yugo capture/strafe (assuming no Japan invasion T1)? Is the AC/2TT considered an optimal flexible buy? Is G6 or G7 a better goal for capturing Moscow?

Howdy! Long-time lurker, first-time poster on these forums. What a treasure-trove of all things A&A when I found this place!

My question is this: when doing a flexible G1 opening (door open for G3 Sealion or G2 Barb), how do you respond if Paris/naval goes decently but your Yugo strafe succeeds ? Now your army is out of position for a G2 DOW on Russia, because they can deadzone East Poland.

Does this convince you to Sealion, or will you regroup for a G3 Barb?

If you decide on G3 Barb, should you: G2 arty, G3/4 mech/arm, G5/6 air for a G7 Moscow? Or build as if you had G2 DOWd: G2/3 mech/arm, G4/5 air, G6 Moscow?

Or is my analysis all off–just barrel into East Poland and damn the torpedos?
