If France isn’t taken by turn 1 Germany is in trouble and the UK will thank you for leaving France intact. Also the USA would collect all of South America if you hit a Netural nation like Turkey. There are a lot of other holes in the plan…you assuming above average dice rolling which can’t be assumed. Your also assuming the Russian player is stupid and doesn’t figure out your plan and move to counter it. Because all Russia really has to do is hold on and wait for the USA to arrive to help. This tactic wouldn’t work on me as a USA player because I would be sitting in Rome turn 5 especially with Italy having no fleet in the med I would just park my fleet in the med and let you take pot shots at it with fighters(that would be fighters you wouldn’t be able to use to help take the other VC).
How do you win with the Allies?
-
I find that if Germany buys 2 transports on round 1, UK falls on round 2 of Germany, so far this works great and I want to try to find a blocking move with the Allies. If anybody has one I would like to hear it.
-
build as many men as possible, and fly all planes to Great Britain.
Also, use the new “alpha” setups are rules, they improve the gameplay significantly.
-
yes, building 9 inf or 7 inf and 1 aa gun (assuming germany is bringing the entire luftwaffe) on UK1 will help.
Also transport units from canada if at all possible on UK1. The tac bomber on the carrier can get there, the more defenses the better.
We have a house rule limiting the number of attacks a power can execute to 5 per round. Makes it a little more challenging on where to focus, especially on G1. -
The UK already has an AA gun. No need to buy a 2nd one
-
We tried to build max man, and bring everything from the tactical to the man and tank from Canada, but it seems too little to help with the defense. What are the alpha rules?
-
If you buy a 2nd aa gun don’t you get 2 shots per plane?
-
-
and even if uk gets occupied by the axis it is well possible for the US to win this game, though russia has to defend well and the Uk is still part of the axis-empire. as US i managed in one game to have 10 transports ready in round 7 to start an invasion from gibraltar with good odds of taking the uk, italy, france or even germany.
