If you are playing Revised with a bid then one possibility is to add a 2nd G transport to the Med fleet instead of adding units to Libya/Algeria. It doubles the transport capacity and can make the Russian player weary on an amphibious attack on the Caucasus/Ukraine.
Like mentioned above the drawback is that additional units sent to Africa won’t be used on the Eastern front and the 2nd transport will be sunk with the rest of the fleet if the Allies decide to do so.
German Defence
-
What would you say is the most effecient/cost-effective way to simultaneously defend West and South Europe?
I’ve been trying building 1 fighter each round to sink allied ships but it seems pretty expensive to me. Is that the correct strategy, just not applied correctly?
Or should I be stacking WEU with infantry and a fighter or two?
Another option could be stacking GER and counter-attacking any landings with air support from EEU but that could eat a lot of infantry.
What are your preferred and successful strategies for defending the Atlantic and Med coasts?
-
Large stacks of Infantry, backed up by at least 1 anchor unit (ARM or FIGs) is the most cost effective means of defense.
-
I’d say fighters are a better anchor since they have a longer distance they can travel and they have to retreat from battle even if you win (meaning you won’t accidentally lock your fighters away leaving your flanks without anchors.)
BTW, don’t forget that Japanese fighters can supplement your defense as well.
-
Not to mention that fighters prevent the UK/US player from isolating transports.

Dear Beloved .
It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even
myself) but my business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than
to
do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in
the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and glory upon my
life.I am Mrs. Rabi Aliu, the wife of Mr. Idris Aliu, I am a citizens of
Tunisian. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for
twenty
years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years
without a child.My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum
of
7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a
Bank in Europe.Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just
wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I,as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the
funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization
to
somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate
this
account) as I can not come over. Presently, I’m in a hospital in Russiawhere I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few weeks to live.It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the
beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit
this money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going
to. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my soundless voice and presence of my husband’s relatives around me
always. I don’t want them to know about this development.I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to
conclude this, reach me on my private mail:Deleted by Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister .

The Best German Defense:
Iron Crosses over Washington DC
-
Get a grip people ! :x
Best German defense is to be agressive and attack and keep the initiative.
G1, buy 4 inf, 2 art, 4 tanks and always keep buing this mix until you reach Moscow
G1 CM kill UK BB and DD, get Egypt and occupie as many russian territories as possibe with inf/tanks
G1 NCM land 4 fighters in France and 2 ftr 1 bomber in Libya and prevent allied navy to anchor in Algeria. Then move Baltic navy to block any amphib trys from allied navys, and empty France and Norway.
G2 to G5 keep marching east to Moscow, and let two tanks secure income from Africa
Now this is the Norwegian take, the yankees may try to master bait you, sonny
-
I still say the best German Defense is a Nazi Parade into the White House. Perhaps a rising sun over LA too.

I have found that in my first few rounds playing germany, I was much to aggressive. Usually I get so burned out pounding Russia, that by the time that I am in striking distance or moscow i am unable to fend off US/UK assaults into WE, SE etc. I agree with the previous posts that suggest a solid INF and FIG anchor. Since you always have the advantage on the defensive, let Russia burn its self out on a what it think is a conservative germany, meanwhile you destroy/delay the US/UK shucks with a combine german fleet on SZ 12, with a FIG stack in WE. Russia will be so tickled pink to get those extra 3-5 IPCs that it my become overly aggressive. Whenever an ally sticks a vulnerable army out, you will be in position to lop it off. All the while Japan weakens Russia, and moves in for the kill. Of course this only works in a KGF came. If Japan gets tied down Germany is living on borrowed time.
