No scramble.
@FlyingBadger Quite difficult position for Italy. So many options, but none really that great.
Usually do the Taranto raid. Someone did the Gibraltar based Fleet-in-being to me to great affect in a game. So tried it in a recent game and made one slight mistake and Italy now rule the Med and most of Africa :confounded:.
Thought I would try it again in this game. With the J1 DOW, the US can get involved in the European war but the USN doesn’t yet have the Atlantic fleet to defend the transports, so thought this approach might allow the Royal Navy to cover them. Obvously it leaves the Italian navy largely intact but the fleet-in-being hopefully pins them down. I like to improve my play, so interested to practice different strategies.

@flyingbadger I am usually doing Taranto as well, especially in standard and BM3 games, if there is a bid for allies, then it is probably the best thing to do. But in PtV, I played two games live on the board, in both Taranto failing and then Italians are just too strong. It seems it is putting too much risk on one battle - I think Allies do have some advantage there even with bombers at 3, but maybe it is 60-65% battle instead of 80% as it was. In one battle, I missed everything and Italians hit all 5 dice, so it was a disaster, I missed the destroyer and transport at Malta too, so it was Italians all over Middle East and Africa. Game over after round 1 :)
So, I agree with what you have done here, we will see how it turns out.

@nikola1975 said in PtV Nikola1975 (Axis+7) vs FlyingBadger (Allies):
@flyingbadger I am usually doing Taranto as well, especially in standard and BM3 games, if there is a bid for allies, then it is probably the best thing to do. But in PtV, I played two games live on the board, in both Taranto failing and then Italians are just too strong.

Game over after round 1 :)
So, I agree with what you have done here, we will see how it turns out.
You’re right, Taranto is basically a must in G40 or BM as a bid can make the chances of success very high and it cripples the Italians in the Med. With no bid for the Allies in PtV then Taranto is risky, maybe still worth it but as you say, failure means Italy can start getting a lot of IPCs from objectives and Africa and then UK is in a lot of trouble.
Having messed up trying to execute this startegy/opening previously I looked into it a lot more and there is a lot to take into consideration in terms of what happened on G1 and what the Italians might do on I1, but it has been helpful. There are so many levels to A&A and I am still scracthing the surface!
Very different start to this game. No Vichy, J1 DOW and no Taranto. Interesting to see how how these play out.
-
@flyingbadger I am trying with J1. I know it gives US extra income from round 2, but I destroy the fighter and Pearl Harbour fleet, stop UK and ANZAC earnings from the islands in the Pacific, so I feel it might be worth it. Also, there is pressure on Americans in the Pacific immediately, so even that they can start European operations immediately, it is not that easy.
Well, this is on paper at least :)
