You just load em up onto your Soviet Black Sea Navy. The one with the Battleship.

@the-captain right on. Interesting. I always send or a build a CV for the Atlantic USA1. And JPN usually attacks by J2. Haven’t tried a J1 yet. I usually went J2 OOB as well.
Aren’t the U-Boats a major threat by the time USA focuses on the Atlantic ?
Anyway, good stuff to think about. Couple things I noticed in the Notes. Shouldn’t Marines Place at turn start, so as to be active that turn ?
A US Marine unit attacks at “3” when supported
by an artillery unit and is active in the same turn
as it is purchased – and is active until lost in
combat.*Early 1941 Place New Units:
- 3 Infantry units in Western US are upgraded to US Marines
- 2 Transport units are placed in sz 10
- 1 Artillery unit is placed in Western US
- 3 Destroyer units are placed in sz 101*
A typo on “send” should be “sent” on Lend Lease.
Anyway Good Stuff ! I Dig It :)

Hi barnee,
Thanks - I’ll correct the typo on sent:+1:
And - yes - the US Marines are active in the same turn they are purchased. In this example, since the US is not at War, I chose to place them in the Place New Units phase… assuming it would cause less confusion.
But I might have to correct this - since it could cause confusion anyway:relaxed:
-
Awesome! I love it! Are you planning to do a strategy guide for the 1943 edition? Thank you!
-
MacArthur unhappy but both Cavite and Clark are destroyed by USA
-
Singapore follows suit. Hong Kong Defiant
efiant -
Yes - both Singapore and Kwangtung should have their naval bases destroyed, to slow down Japanese advance in the Pacific Ocean:+1:
This is part of the United Kingdom Strategic Plan.
The United Kingdom Strategy Guide is expected to be available with 2-3 weeks.

The norm barnee.

@the-captain yea I thought about it. Coulda got 1 less inf and Fort. It can’t reach India though. Probably shoulda dusted it too.
Germany gonna dust Normandy Factory next turn. Gonna keep the Base as I don’t see it really helping the Allies
Fun stuff.
Read through all the Strat Guides before the turn. Had to do some rule refresh but Commiesar Corps 1 is formed lol

Why did Japan invade French Indochina? It doesn’t seem like they are at war with the Western Allies yet. This denies you 10 IPCs.

@superbattleshipyamato123 i like to build a factory and air base on turn 2. But yea, it has it’s drawbacks as well

I misremembered the rules on this. I need to go underground turn 2 and then I can dust it turn 3. @The-Captain is that right ?

Hhhmmm it is house rules game. Maybe I’ll have to talk to the Captain about adding Big Boys. Lol
-
Blowing up those Naval Bases in the Pacific really jacks with Japan’s movement lol Nice
-
Correct - Underground first - then demolish turn after.
I wouldn’t destroy that Factory - until it was threatened by Allied units.
Upgrade to Underground Factory - yes - and then wait with destruction. You might need it in The Battle of the Atlantic.

@general-5-stars
We do have British Commandos already in game.
Hard-hitting attack units - limited in numbers, but deadly when striking.
See Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion page 17.

yea I just hit turn 3. UK already has a couple Paras and I need to defend S France and Norway. I guess i can trade Belgium and Normandy if needed.
If I defend everything, I defend nothing and i really need some bullet stoppers for the Eastern Front. But yea, it’s nice being able to drop a Wolfpack there :)

Been Buying 1 marine a turn and attacked Marianas USA2. Plan on boosting to at least 2 a turn and then Max out when the Fleet ready.
Is key to buy an arty for every one too. Need Artys for the Elites also. Need a bunch of Artillery lol
Mech Inf seems a lesser buy, especially for Germany and USA. Rail kinda lowers their need as well, it seems. JPN probably still need em in Asia and Russia and Italy too, I guess
