@farmboy

good call. the blue boat blended in with the blue water. I’ll redo this

It wasn’t that I had no casualties, I just had few casualties. My sub attacks each picked off at least one boat which was nice. 110 was a bit dicey as UK took out the two fighters. (never mind the French boat that was invisible). I was expecting to lose three fighters, two subs, and a damaged battleship. I lost two fighters. I just rolled and took what came which was Germany crushing it round 1. I know that’s not likely to happen every time but I love the results for this thread - to show how vulnerable UK now is. If you guys like I can put a couple UK boats back on and take another pic and then again ask, how does UK respond?

For this strategy I’m working on, it’s okay if any UK boats survive - I"m just trying to knock out most of them, which I believe is very doable removing two SBR and two Tacs from the naval battle. Whatever survives will gone turn two unless they take them out to the Atlantic.

I didn’t start this thread to argue about battles - I’ve never seen anyone go full economic warfare G1. I think this cripples UK. Turn one, they are placing at least two less inf, maybe 3. Italy1 their bomber hits the IC. G2, the two SBR hit the IC again - which should be at max 20 damage. And keep the AB at full damage to discourage scrambles if possible, but the IC is most important.

20 damage IC, and losing 8 to convoy - UK can place 2 inf, round 2 (1 if they repair the AB).

I want your opinions on how UK should respond to how the board looks now. Without playing any other countries I was rolling fake battles for rounds 2 & 3 based on UK doing different things. UK is crippled turn one - and Japan not doing J1 so USA can’t rescue.

If my math is right, this tactic removes 10 inf from London (over two turns). That makes Sealion easy with plenty of land units left in London for Germany

Are you doing Taranto?

Are you buying nothing but inf, getting a ftr turn 1?

Are you going Middle Earth?

What can you do with your Med fleet to help save the day, anything?

How does UK and the allies respond to this G1 attack - that is what I am looking for in this thread.

I think common tactic is for US to build 3 fully loaded AC, place them in 102 turn two, and then hope to take out the German boats turn 3?

@simon33 the idea is to change as little as possible. Try it out and see where the bid resettles.

@Adam514 I’ve got the feeling that you forgot someone in Suiyuyan? I can hardly imagine that this will have any affect to the gameresult, but feel free to care about him ;-).
