What should have been +27 resulted in a -114, nuts! @Giallo

now ive got to figure out what to do with france… and ive got a dumb idea

That was a good german move with the tanks, not sure how russia can hold both north and south if germany guns for just one, trying something kindof risky

@crockett36 the US will always be able to out navy Japan if it spends more than 85%-90% of its IPCs in the pacific. If the US goes 100% in the pacific with a balanced naval build (multiples of 1 Carrier, 1-2 Subs, 1-2 Destroyers, 2 Fighters/Tac Bombers) you will eventually defeat the Japanese if the Indians don’t die early.

Additionally, I’ve been experimenting with using the Australians. If you use your Australian income to purchase carriers, and fighters for those carriers, it allows the Americans to buy a more submarine-heavy fleet. The sub-heavy fleet ordinarily would not be able to defend against the Japanese navy, but with the ANZAC reinforcements, it can get close without worrying about defense.

@trulpen it’s close, may need to bring chinese

Ill edit it

Also, does your bid change if you just played a theater game?

as in Europe/Pacific? probably does change I only play global

@tin-can-of-the-sea said in Bids:

What exactly is the reasoning of the subs in the UK fleet around London?

If you have subs in one or both, Germany has to be careful about attacking both since you could choose to scramble and have the sub fight, and then Germany would have a close fight in one of those battles.

Do you play using TripleA? If not you should get it and use it to look at the top league players’ games. Their strategies are interesting to look over, if you use ctrl+H you can look through the history of the game and see what they did in every situation.

@trulpen yep, the goal was the counter attack, just wanted to kill as many as possible

eh, artillery are better.

@fmerwinrommel I needed to clear out his ground units, he could have hit my factory with those and his airforce. By clearing them, I could leave the factory unguarded and use the troops and planes on another landing. I was winning the game and was comfortable taking the risk.

h

i just didnt get the last one, shouldnt affect my move

yup. you’re right

Hello, I remember a thread from a while back where people were discussing how to build statistical models predicting who would win based on TUV or TUV’s proximity to victory cities or something like that.

How do you guys use the tripleA stats when you’re playing or analyzing a game?

I generally look at the TUV of course, the income, the TUV of each particular power, and I look at the German unit count and TUV and the ratio between them (I find this pretty indicative of whether or not Germany is succeeding).

Is there anything that I’ve missed that you guys use?

the russian hordes are mobilizing in the west, the east is looking iffy though.

cant do russia rn, ill do later in day, may be tonight, tommorow should be an all day-er

I approve, all good.

@trulpen they’re my favorite nation to play, sooo versatile, I can go after Germany or japan or Italy, I just cant decide which one, they’re all so much fun to go after! They’re so powerful weve even got south american colonies, and were picking up pacific islands by the turn! BEWARE THE DUTCH!?!!!

edit: undo of ncm, no dice affect it. just a small oversight.
