@zarhunter said in L24 BM FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Zarhunter (Allies+15) #5:

Scramble?

Yes, all 3.
Let me choose the Italian casualties please, I may make different decisions depending on how the dice land.

another pacific fleet pathing error, I lose more games that way and I just cant seem to fix that oversight.

It can be difficult to anticipate all the possible air units which can be brought into an attack when there are lots of islands and carriers around as potential landing spots. I’ve lost many a USN fleet in the Pacific because I failed to account fully for all the Japanese air units. You can always use a Local Game, to skip through to the opponeents turn and play around with their units to see what is possible.

The Caroline Islands are a double edged sword, they are a powrful central location which give attack options across a very wide area, but this also means that they can be attacked from a lot of places too. Both the Axis and Allies have adjacent islands which can be used to land the air units which start closeby, freeing up the carriers to pick up planes coming from far away.

Interesting that you feel this way. It takes two turns for Americans transports to do relevant things, 1 turn if you’re going for Morocco. It takes about three turns for American fighters to reach Moscow (2 for Lenin, so I do feel it is more important in the early game for Americans to build fighters).

I think you do eventually need to get the American shuck going. I feel like you got the American shuck down - three sets of transports is the way to go, imo.

Lol, maybe once again you are right. I did G8 myself trying to see if there is a way to victory but they are actually more under pressure than I thought. Perhaps you can take out Central France, then abandon Belorussia to move to Leningrad in force, then you might be able to take Scandinavian/Northern Russian territories and bleed out the Russians. And build up a stack of infantry in Germany.

Yeah I think the transport shock can be effective but usually Moscow falls on G6 and at that moment the US hasn’t had enough time to do anything useful. Landing in Morocco is indeed one turn away but I don’t think it hurts the Germans as much. Taking the Northern Italy factory is quite difficult if Germany defends it. The easiest thing to do is to land in Holland but threatening Germany is difficult as the Allies have a multi-national force which is always less effective in attacking.

This game is special as the Germans are not in a position to take out Moscow and are actually threatened to be attacked in Belorussia (which honestly surprises me, I wonder where they lost their strenght). In my experience the Germans in the late game can simply build stacks of infantry and then a couple of tanks for Moscow and the odds on attacking Berlin are only getting worse for the Allies while Moscow is only getting better for Germany. But I have to say that in those situations, the Germans were able to squeeze more income from the Russian by having captured several Russian territories around Moscow, so that might play a role too.
