@Ragnell804

During a discussion I had with @The_Good_Captain he pointed out that we all have slightly different German openers. I am now curious to know which one could be considered “best”. If you substract the TUV Differential from the Net TUV swing, you get more or less what the TUV swing should have been. Not exactly, as sometimes very good/bad dice in battles result in situations where one side can gain/lose more TUV than they would normally, however it still gives a sense on how good someone’s turn was, if this person made good attacks and made sure his units are not exposed to counter-attacks.

If we look at “After Allied1”, yours would be +59.62. If we look at our previous game, mine would be +64.89. Even though mine is a little higher, they are so close to each other that I would say at first glance that they are equally good. Which is funny because our openers are very different.

(Also in our previous game you made that attack on Finland with negative average TUV so if you didn’t do that my score would have been lower)

One thing I noticed is that you essentially attack more stuff with slighly worse odds, with the same kind of TUV swing as a result. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing, but it surely looks interesting. I will use your opener in future games to test it. Yours does give room for a possibility to advance into the Middle East which is good.

My Allied strategy includes abandoning this area completely to increase the defense of Moscow, so after this game we’ll see if that’s is actually good to do or not.

@surfer I was surprised you flew extra air in there, well at least the bomber, if you want to edit the NCM it’s fine with me. Been a few weeks, easy to be rusty ;)

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Maybe they don’t realize that Free French units operate mostly as American units. Looking through the rules I can’t think of a reason.

@Cornwallis

Not an expert, but from my experience slow movers are, well, too slow to get to the Middle East from French West Africa.

Additionally, I often find that if the Allies need to defend substantially in the Middle East, they’ve effectively lost as Germany probably already took Moscow and Japan likely took India. If either place is the ultimate destination it’ll take even longer. There are 10 territories seperating French West Africa to either of those destinations in the most direct route (best case scenario assuming the Allies even control all those territories).

It’s a much better investment in most cases to launch amphibious assaults in Europe or even North Africa than trying to buff up the Middle East via French West Africa. As I’ve said previously, only transport units there if absolutely necessary (usually if Germany and Italy are still too menacing in the Atlantic and the UK activated Brazil early and that’s the only spot they can safely transport units to the mainland).
