Sorry if it has been covered but, if Germany uses yugo to ping pong (not defeating all the pro allied forces) which power does the ipc value of the territory go to now? I would assume it’s russia since they control the most territories in the area. If this is not the case, how is it played?

No one collects the income until someone controls it. Normally if the ping pong move is used, Italy will then attack it.

Oh, it is, because all the bombers raises the stakes and risks

You can make the dice work for you - if the ships miss and the AA misses, no amount of strategy and tactical ability can stop that.

This is helpful. I am just starting a game as Germany and will make a DoW on Russia turn 2. This is the first time we have played with NO’s and that changes the dynamic. I am thinking of taking the southern route for the 2 IC’s and options for the Caucases NO, possibly the Persias/Iraq NO, or possibly helping Japan with India. We’ll see how it goes…

5 IPC per territory. But only for Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow
for exemple if you have Leningrad and Stalingrad you get 10 bonus ipc

@manstein39:

@orania:

6 Infantry, 2 Artillery, from S.Germany into Slovakia

How about using those to strafe Yugo for 1 round and then retreat into: Slovakia.

Does Italy need this help?
What are the loss / kill chances?

It’s a common practice, but if you are attacking Russia round 1, you can’t take the chance that you accidentally score 5 hits and conquer Yugo since you need those units for counter attacks on G2.

Correct, Italy can easily take Yugoslavia on their own round 2 or 3 without Germany spreading thin by strafing G1.

Here you go. See if you can tweak your idea in case your opponent does a full out London defense.

@manincellv:

WHy in ALPHA +2 are there 11 German infantry in Germany?

There was some concensus among LH and those playtesting Alpha +1 that Germany was underpowered in the land attack into Russia and ran out of steam before capturing the victory cities more often than not or attaining economic parity (also why Germany and Italy got more NOs). The desire was to provide some additional land units that could keep up some momentum.

I am in a Global game now. We just finished Round 9 and decided on a break for a while. I am playing Germany and the Russian player is also handling China.
Germany captured Paris Round 1, forced a Sealion Round 2 and was successful but at somewhat high cost. Round 3 took the 3 big neutrals - Spain, Sweeden and Turkey - which also took a fair amount of resources. Therefore, I don’t think I was able to build up enough in the east for Barbarossa like I would have preferred. I had a good force by end of Round 3, but it certainly could have been better.
Italy really struggled with Britain in Africa and the Med.
Japan took a gamble by bringing USA into the war Round 1 by attacking Brits and the Philippines.
As for Russia, first three rounds she spent building a lot of infantry along the border with a few artillery and tanks. Round 4 Russia actually attacked Germany, which I really was not expecting. Sank all my transports and took an unoccupied Sweeden from me. Round 5, she had destroyed all three army groups in Europe, took Warsaw and was only frustrated by Finland with a bloody repulse. Round 6, she threw a massive army at Berlin. Lucklily, the last couple of rounds of combat went my way and Berlin survived with just 1 fighter unit left. Both sides were severely depleted but Germany still had her capital.
Fast forward to Round 9.
Now Germany is getting strong again, starting to advance into Russia itself and threatening Leningrad. German Navy has been sunk by the US Navy and they keep fighting back and forth over Spain, which US currently holds with a fairly strong force.
Italy finally finished off all British and French troops in Africa and has a tank running around blitzing territories. Most of Italy’s resources have been spent trying to help Germany with Spain and threatening Russia with a small force from the south.
Japan has all but destroyed China – 1 territory and 1 infantry unit left. They have grabbed Calcutta and control Eastern Asia and the DEI. However, both the Imperial Navy and the US Navy have been slugging it out and are almost non-existant. Also, Japan has tanks creeping west toward Russia.
So, while Russia is still a ways from being “out of it”, they are in pretty bad shape. I have seen this in other games as well. Russia is just too dang big and can’t seem to get a decent number of reiinforcements to the front. When they start a big offensive, if it runs out of steam then it seems like Germany always grinds them back. Unless the US can get over there with a large enough force to really threaten Germany in Western Europe, Russia will be taken out and then Germany will have plenty of money to deal with the US and push them back out of Europe with help from Italy.

It seems with 6 subs on the board, you could keep 2 off Canada and 4 off London. That means you would subtract 11 IPCs from the UK until the US entered the war, if UK does not build a DD in Canada.

You could keep London at around 18 IPCs until the US enters the war. However, I don’t think Germany can spare the money on sea units, since I believe they need to help Japan gather victory cities or face a long term loss of game. I also suspect that the US will have 2-3 DDs in their war fleet able to clear two of the convoy zones for UK.

Personally I would make air units over sea units, as you can then threaten fleets and land units especially if you need a quick extra “push” against Moscow early on.

You would discourage a navy build by UK until the US could arrive on scene.

In some Europe games, I did produce a couple of subs early on, but not in any global games. I found their life span to be brief unless they hid behind Denmark.
