The allies in my game with MrMalachiCrunch are still being sacked. However, I have some interest in running a second forum game if you would like. My work schedule is lighter these next two weeks, so I may be able to crank out a turn every day or two.

Would you like to play the allies? If so, go start a game and post your AA Battlemap map file for the end of Russia’s first turn when you are done. I will try to put up a fight with the Axis.

9 victory cities to win. Turkey Straights are open.

@MrMalachiCrunch:

On the transport question you are correct, 1 transport, 1 target.  Either whatever the transport holds onto FEq or Cng.  It used to be nice as Japan to sail in Sz34 with 2 transports and 4 men and land in 4 spots but alas, evolution of the rules say ixnay to that.

In KGY you don’t want to transport into Arc.  You want your fleet to live in Sz5.  Germany LOVES it when your fleet is in Sz4, Germany and EEu cannot be hit.  If I want to dribble a few units per turn through EEuas Germany,  no problem when you are in Sz4.  Now, if there is 3 brit transports and 4 US transports in Sz5 along with lots of planes for each nation then imagine doing Germany’s turn.  WEu can be hit by the brits then the US in a 1-2 and so can Germany and so can EEu.  If Germany wants to move up, tanks in Nwy, Kar etc can all move 2 to hit EEu along with amphibious assult.

3 Transports for Brit because her income will not be great. (3 Inf+3 tanks per round for 24 IPC) if you can save a few IPC here and there then get a plane.  The US can drop 4 inf+4 tanks per turn and save a few IPC here and there for an extra plane once and awhile.

You will have to maintain a US fleet in Sz2 to shuttle from Eca to Gbr.  So that is 2 fleets you require, Germany WILL put a bomber in WEu and so will Japan when it can, sooner the better.  So now if you want to drop in Africa you want a third fleet in Sz12.  Japan adds 1 bomber to WEu now you must defend it in Sz5 and Sz2 and Sz12.  If you try to maintain 3 fleets all the time you will spend too much on fleet and not enough on boots on the ground.   It’s tough to play the allies.  The risk of having a fleet in Sz5 is if the japs start adding to their airforce, how do you add ships to Sz5?  If Japan has an IC in Ind, it can build 3 bombers and they can all hit Sz5 right away.  Usually in the first few rounds you get 1 drop of units to Alg as you get your fleets together and in postion to get into Sz5.

Awesome. Thanks!

Germany’s Turn!
