@TheShrike Nice!

@TheShrike GG

Sorry man, very busy week. I’ll be around all day so we can get some work in if you’re available.

Sounds to me like it’s Barnee Time !!!

Yes, I am still learning high level play; just started in January. I will concede now actually; I have no win condition. I can’t take Moscow, Japan is as good as dead. I completely missed the presence of transports in range of HI. Well played, I learn something every game. I think the wins are coming.

Thanks Carl, a good game, I was nervous about the Germans running straight through to Middle Earth like that. And, yeah, fighters can come in handy when you just can’t get enough boots to an island!

@TheShrike No you could technically play everybody only once. What is counting is the games total you played to count to be eligable for a ranking.

Ok will set it up then.

I’ll contact Saul and Bob, I’m not sure everyone actively monitors the thread.

awaiting scramble orders

I start with a purchase of 3 CVs for the US.  You can get planes to fill them up later on.  It is nice to stack a bunch of fighters in Midway.  If the Japanese are careless, your planes can hit SZ 6 and then land on the carrier group in CZ7.  It doesn’t happen often, but is beautiful when you can pull off that raid.

On turn 2, I transition to subs and fighters as the primary way to damage their fleet.  You can also convoy raid their economy to bits if you can get a few subs into the appropriate sea locations.

Afterwards, I do mostly subs plus a destroyer.  Depending on the Japanese spending and success against China, I transition to the European side.

Nerquen is a master of the game, and in our second game of giving up 2 big new US NO’s and the ANZAC NO, I still have the upper hand I think.  GREAT game, keep watching

After Vichy France is activated, Germany may occupy Southern France at any time. The only downside is that occupation of Southern France after the Armistice results in the disbandment of all Vichy French units on the board. While you do have to leave Southern France alone on the first turn, the income from that territory is often convoy-blockaded by the 93 sz fleet when it is taken on Germany’s first turn. So really the cost of Vichy France, in that regard, is negligible.
