@shadowhawk I never though about that , that is really smart. I will make sure to do that.
Southern France for Germany
-
IMHO, bring 1 fighter to SZ 112 from W. Germany or Norway so it can land in S. Italy. Bring the fighter in Hungary to Yugoslavia and it can land in S. Italy. With the Italian fighter there already, that makes 3 defending fighters (at 4 or less) for cover air patrol (scramble I suppose you want me to call it, dumb name, I feel, but whatever) and all the rest can pound the snot out of the British navy.
Perhaps the Tactical in W. Poland could go to Yugoslavia and then to S. Italy, freeing up a fighter to attack something other than SZ 112 (or maybe send the Tactical to SZ 112 as well, makes it safer).
I, personally, use absolutely no aircraft attacking France. Then again, I do not attack Normandy. Let the British have the fighter, it cannot scramble from Normandy, and it cannot hurt the German fleet anyway, so it’s essentially a non-issue for a few rounds. Perhaps if it goes to Gibraltar it could become an issue, assuming you do not invade Gibraltar with the Germans on Round 2. /shrug. Fimatleven. (Film at 11:00pm, you know, the nightly newscast.)
In any event, I believe I would still take S. France for Germany on Round 2. I am quasi-leaning away from this, since one cannot build in the sea next to S. France and have the Italians there to defend with their builds - which is a STRONG endorsement for building a minor IC in Yugoslavia, but even if I do build one in Yugoslavia, I think Germany needs the cash more than Italy. Lately, I have been giving everything in Europe to Germany and letting Italy fend for itself.

The fighter in Normandy can be used against the Italian fleet on U.K.1. It needs to go on G1. I do not think that Italy will survive on their own.
-
Eh, with 4 fighters, I doubt England will be doing anything to Germany. (the rest are too far south to be of any use to Germany.)
Figuring: 3 Aircraft Cover Air Patrol from W. Germany + 2 Aircraft on a German carrier + German Carrier, Cruiser, Battleship (dmged), Destroyer.
Most likely, it goes to London and lands during NCM.

Sorry CJ I do not understand your post. Can you possibly clear this up for me? Were you addressing my post or someone else?

Your post about the normandy fighter for England. I’m not overly worried about it and I do not think that it’s worth the potential loss of 4 ground units to kill.

Figured taking Normandy on G1 anyway and killing the fighter is just a bonus. Of course my overall strategy is saving Italy and the axis winning Africa. With Japan doing their part in the Pacific then U.K. is pretty well tamed. Remember not playing for victory cities makes a different game. Heck, I dont even know what the VCs are without looking it up.

IMO Killing the Bristish fighter in Normandy will help Italy more than Germany taking southern France. Southern France is a place Italy can actually help out with and, Germnay can’t afford to be building things in the Med. anyway. They have both Russia and the U.K. to deal with.

If Germany has southern France then they are in position to help Italy if needed. There is also that bonus for Germany in Egypt. If the axis do not hold Africa then Germany will never be able to deal with U.K. plus the U.S. and Russia.

I’ve tossed in a few submarines in the Med, if only to keep the Anglo-Americans out.
Realistically, it is the easiest way to get a ground unit to Egypt and I am not a virgin in putting 2 cruisers and a transport in the Med so I can assist in N. Africa. It’s worth 5 IPC for Germany and, coupled with the Med, 10 IPC + TT for Italy. THen there’s the bonuses for the Middle East and, in Barbarossa, that’s a huge boon as well.
