After looking at the game table (board) I can understand why this idea is intriguing. But after thinking a bit, Russia & GB can very easily keep any the black sea ship free with their air force. At least if I was Russia, I would sink anything built there. Also would love Germany to spend that kind of $$ ion an IC & navy instead of tanks, art & inf……still, it might be fun to give it a go sometime.
I once built an airbase in Romania in a Tech game where I had rockets and paratroopers. If you had that, I guess you could protect a TT with scrambled fighters and hit Caucusus from the Ukraine.
Anyway, I believe this is exactly why England gets a chance to beat the snot out of Italy before Italy can do anything about it. It’s a cruel trick by the game designers to give Italy hope and then dash it out from beneath them.
LOL…great point…this forces the onus on Germany- does Germany go for Sealion- which is possible gaining fat cash or help out Italy in the Med??? It can’t do both. I actually think its a solid design- otherwise Axis would run the table in Europe- game over by round 5.
Keep in mind, if / when you get England, you have to do something about the Convoy zones or lose half of what you gain.
