Could be simplified even further by a build up for six transports hitting SFE about the time that IJN rounds the Malacca strait. And every turn after, six tanks. Of course, it looks like a KJF, but you would be committing 100 to Pac but send them or some of them through Siberia to Moscow.
Time for a change of strategies.

I’m not quite sure what the “YG German strategy” consist of… can you elaborate?

Do an allied strategy playbook. I been too lazy

I’ll start on it.

The eventual Sealion strategy
Great to see the Afrika Korps strategy included!
Take a look at my Allied strategy: the Bright Skies, I now posted the USA perspective in detail, the one of Russia and China will follow later or are already mentioned in the introduction.
I will test it out myself this week, I think it has some good potential for the Allies to even the game back to their favour!
I will take a look
@hecatomb:
I heard about every strategy except ‘The Tan Blob’. What’s this?
Mass infantry assault, UK style
I will work on an Allied Playbook non-stop (As I have no life :-D)
-
I want a tan infantry rush!
Only problem is that pesky 26 mile post-ice-age gap between the continent and its flooded periphery…
If one lone woman can swim the channel in a day, surely 70 fully armed infantry divisions of fighting Tommies can cross without further delay!
-
UK tan blob form what I have seen usually doing off of Egypt which UK invades Turkey and comes from the East.
-
What are the Russian mass assaults and aggressive commies strats? And what are the orange cloud and blood waters Japanese strats?

Well the USSR one is basically obvious. In G40, there is NO way of getting around the fact that you have to mass infantry to stop Germany unless Germany did Sealion and failed.

I’ve been trying to put together a Burma strategy for the UK – like Middle Earth, but instead of going north to fight Germany or west to fight Italy, you go east to Yunnan and French Indochina. South Africa builds navy to keep the Japanese from casually raiding the Indian coast, and Persia / Iraq factories feed mech into southeast Asia. There’s not a huge amount of money there, but I suspect that if you can keep UK pacific at critical mass, and perhaps China as well, then you can rally enough of a coalition to contain and roll back Japan. It’s a compound interest thing…a few extra ipcs in the hands of China/ UK Pac on turn 3 means more allied troops on turn 4, which means a few more allied ipcs on turn 5, and so on.

Mass assaults w/ Infantry.
Aggressive Commies - Always on the offense
Orange cloud - Mass Airforce Attacks
Bloody waters - Nothin’ but carriers
-
Question about Bloody Waters, I am not sure what “nothing but carriers” is, do you mean the entire navy is carriers with fighters or you focus on carriers over larger surface ships so instead of battleships, go for carriers.
-
You tend to buy a lot of carriers to support your massive Air Force in the that you have at the start. After you have a large Majority on them, then turn to Submarines.
-
Interesting so the entire surface fleet is carriers backed by submarines. I am not sure the correct counter would be, maybe air force and cruisers?
-
If your opponent buys a lot of destroyers then this strategy my be screwed, but you if you scatter them, then it makes it harder for them to come for you.
-
Maybe pure Submarines might work too.
-
That’s something I’ve never thought about that…
Would annoy the Allies endlessly, I love it.
-
I call that the Kreigsmarine build, just crank out U-Boats.
-
I will try it next game I play, probably use it for Italy, since they need the Navy the most.
