@WILD:

IDK, but if you plan on scrambling you should probably buy a ftr Ita1 lol. I really don’t like to lose half the Italian navy before my turn even rolls around. Taking that loss and losing 2/3 of the Italian air force really sucks though and you are even more limited in what you can do. Plus like Zhukov44 said Italy probably has 2-3 SZs to clear and only 3 warships and a bmr to do it if you scrambled. So chances of clearing the Med on Italys turn isn’t too good, and if you manage to you are probably down another ship or two. The UK will have some planes in the Med, so leaving port would also be a risk. However this is a dice game, and if the UK comes in lite then go for it.

Interesting. Most of the time I don’t have any UK ships left after scrambling. Or, maybe the cruiser, but its a fair point.

Remaining UK air … My I1 move is to move all ships against the French ships off S. Europe. G1 I took S. Europe, so G2 they can build 1-3 ships there, usually a carrier, transport. Possibly a destroyer or sub. That means UK won’t attack Italy’s remaining navy (carrie+2 planes+Italy’s 1-3 ships), and Italy and Germany’s transports can take Morocco and Gibraltor. As long as Italy knows where Germany’s ship(s) will end up, they can stay together and UK’s 3 planes aren’t a threat.

@Zhukov44:

Since there are only 5 Axis shooters, the reason I don’t scramble is that your chances of getting diced in this particular battle are high. With the full commit you’re facing 7 shooters and 9 hits (DD CA 3 FIG 1 TB 1 SB, (CV)

I agree, too dicey. There’s considerably less risk in waiting for G2 to mop up this fleet.

But there are some cases where this scramble may not be a bad play or a bad risk.

Even with this full deployment Axis has a 5% chance of winning the battle and the average TUV swing is -9 less than w/o the scramble. That means the 30 ipcs in fighters invested will yield an average of -39 tuv dmg to Allies in 97. Not to mention that if Allies lose the average 2 fig 1 ac 1 dd (leaving just a cruiser in 97) Italy will lose 6-8 less ipcs to convoys Ita1.

So far the scramble looks good. But it looks less good if we compare it to waiting for the G2 Luftwaffe attack. If there is 1 ac 2 fig 1 dd 1 cru remaining in 97 (any less makes it a good target for an Ita1 counter), then Germany (assuming a strong deployment) should rarely lose more than 3 figs, which is a +26 swing.

So on paper, the math for scrambling Ita1 may not look quite as good as waiting for G2. But there might also be openings on the board that couldn’t be pursued (as vigorously) if Germany needs to devote the bulk of the Luftwaffe to counter 97.

[Edited to fix my math]

OK, so now you’re talking my language…

So no scramble, maybe Italy hits 1-2 times. With scramble, 3-4 hits, maybe 5 if combat goes two rounds.

What else would I want to do G2 that I would miss out… bomb London, presumably, with 3 bombers and I want a carrier to go with the German fleet to SZ 108 to convoy UK (though if I saved my battleship G1 and sank SZ106, maybe that’s not necessary). That leaves 3 each fighters and tacticals to get 5-6 hits left in SZ 97. That’s 2 rounds of combat and UK will hit… 2-4 hits? Or I have to bring bombers and/or more fighters… giving UK more money to spend.

So your +26 ipc swing isn’t quite right since I wouldn’t be able to bomb and convoy UK, right? And Italy misses +5 ipc for a N.O. for surface warships in the Med.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.9, time: 4:48:29 PM

weddingsinger

Taking a closer look, doesn’t not scrambling mean that Italy will not get its 5 ipc N.O. for no surface ships AND get convoyed at the end of its turn? Avoiding that pays for one of the fighters by itself.

Or, the Germans can send a 2nd or 3rd fighter down to S. Italy and eat the cost on turn 1 instead of turn 2, right?

/I usually take Greece I2 and hopefully have it and Morocco and Gibraltor by end of I3 (usually with a little German help)

weddingsinger

@Snigg:

UK fleet is usually taken out by the Luftwaffe on G2. I1 planes saved from annihilation then support the various assaults done by Italy that round (French fleet, S. France, Sz96 UK boat, Greece, etc)

If you take Greece, that requires the use of your transport, right? Don’t you lose it on UK2, then?

Also, without the scramble, isn’t there a UK carrier with 2 planes sitting in your seazone that the Germans will have to kill anyway, right?

I guess I just don’t see a strong benefit of not scrambling… If you get all the UK boats in Taranto from scrambling, the Germans only have to deal with a UK cruiser around Malta (probably), and Italy can handle the French.

If you don’t scramble, it leaves those same assets and a carrier and probably a destroyer? 3-4 extra hits to kill?

weddingsinger

I’m usually playing as Axis face-to-face and I always scramble 3 fighters against the Taranto raid. I know I’ll lose them, but like getting the 2-4 extra hits it usually gets me.

For those who don’t scramble, what does your board end up looking like? How do you clear the enemy ships out of the Med on I1?

For me, G1 I send a fighter to S.Italy and full scramble. On I1, there usually aren’t any UK ships except the cruiser around Malta, so I just need to sink the French fleet. Maybe send the bomber/sub after the cruiser. G2 they build ships via S. France to protect Italy’s small fleet… etc.

@simon33:

20+ rounds is pretty normal if both players are very experienced.

My Face-to-Face opponents, we rarely go beyond 10-12, but have done one epic 20ish turn game. Mostly, because we don’t necessarily play it out. If the Axis are well in control of their current territories and are earning 80+, 60+ and 40ish, and Moscow or London fall… well, that’s game. Even if they don’t have all the victory cities.

weddingsinger

@Caesar:

@simon33:

^ It matters not.

Without reinforcing London UK1, a 2inf 6art buy can be turned to Sea Lion easily.

I disagree, because lets say you toss your first buy away like putting a minor in Egypt. Germany ain’t going to try and invade UK with one transport so the next move would have to be transports and UK can then build infantry and that should be enough to stop Sea Lion.

Sorry, I know this is from like two months ago, but…

My issue with your response is simple… On G2, if Germany buys a bunch of transports, and you haven’t already reinforced London, its probably too late. As Germany, on G2 I would also strategic bomb you and move my fleet into SZ 98. UK2 you’d spend 10+ ipc repairing your factory and at the end of your turn I’d be convoying you, so UK3 you’d have 15-20 fewer IPC again.

weddingsinger

@WILD:

Oh BTW if you really want to F with the US have the Germans hit the US 101 mini fleet G1 with a sub (when you know there will be a J1 attack). If you get lucky the cruiser may not even get to fire, and the transport sinks too.

Oh, heck yeah.

Hmm… I’ll have to game out some ideas. In the past, I’ve even sent two subs down to SZ 91 to guarantee sinking that UK cruiser (to help Italy) even though I know it means Germany will pay for it elsewhere. Maybe I’ll look through some similar ideas for the U.S.

Have also tried sending a bomber to hit the UK airfield, all but guaranteeing they’ll have to spend a few $$ in order to do Taranto. Have basically sacrificed the German battleship so I could send both German bombers to hit the UK factory on G1, too. That was a tough game for him. Sea Lion was a breeze on G4.

I agree G1 you should strongly consider navy. I suppose it depends, but without a G1 DOW on Russia, its good to be flexible. Worst case scenario, I find it very useful to have transports to quickly take Germans against Russia (never mind being able to get more troops up to Norway in a jam) AND to be able to park German ships in SZ 98 and take 6-8 ipc from UK every single turn until the U.S./UK are forced to step in. A carrier paired with the cruiser and a destroyer and sub is plenty for that.

I play Axis 80% of the time, so I’ll refer to this from that point of view. A lot of plans are if/then statements. For instance…

if Russia leaves 12 inf on Amur on R1, J1, I attack it 100% and do a KRF strategy. With a single mainland factory, Japan can slowly kill off China and isolate (though probably not take) India.

Japan’s starting fleet has one more destroyer, two more carriers, and an extra battleship compared to the U.S.
J1 2 subs, 4 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 3 carriers, 2 battleships
Compared to the U.S.’ 2 subs, 3 destroyers, 2 cruisers (one on Atlantic side), 1 carrier, 1 battleship

UK/ANZAC can even that out with another battleship, cruiser, 2 destroyers between them. But only if you give them time to consolidate and add to their fleets.

Japan doesn’t actually need all their ships to take the money islands or most of their other objectives. They just need to enough to keep their transports afloat. So, I’ve decided Japan benefits by being aggressive at the opening, just like Germany does with the UK fleet, and taking the favorable match ups while it can. So I J1 attack Hawaii fleet, take the Philippines, sink UK’s battleship. If you’re feeling frisky, send your destroyer on the Caroline’s down to ANZAC for a 50/50 shot at their destroyer/transport. If the U.S. chooses to counter attack your fleet at Hawaii (with that destroyer), its around a 60/40, maybe 66/34 in favor of Japan. If the U.S. loses that counter attack, they literally have two transports, a cruiser, and 5 dudes. They’re out of the game for 3+ turns.

The flip of that is if you wait and let the U.S. alone, US 4 they’re sitting on SZ 6 with an enormous fleet you can’t really do much about (if they add 2 carriers and a few battleships, subs, etc to their mix) and you’re getting convoyed, losing Korea, China gets Manchuria back, etc. That’s my struggle against the U.S., usually.
