What I did with that extra IPCS? Heh, while I briefly considered setting up a mighty German navy using UK’s production zone, I ended up spending most of it on armor. The war wasn’t going so well for me in the western front. In that same G2, I did some pretty crazy stuff with Germany aside from invading UK. In G1, I had vacated Ukraine to attack Karelia, and it was basically empty for Russia to walk into at the start of R2. This he did, using everything he had in Causcasus. Anyways, aside from invading the UK, I also took almost everything else I had and whacked Karelia. I won, but with only 1 armor left. I had 2 transports, 2 inf and 2 armor in Southern Europe. I placed another 2 inf in Africa (figured I needed more manpower than firepower there). The tank was also meant for Africa, but I got cheeky and plopped it into the vacated Causcasus. :P
So when G2 ended, we have the remnants of the Russian army (9 inf) holed up in Ukraine, and surrounded by 1 armor in Karelia, 1 armor in Causcasus, and 6 inf + 1 fighter in Eastern Europe. Weird, huh? I spend all of G2 cash on inf again. Heh…needed to replace all the losses I suffered.
Anyways, in R3 he split his inf and took back Karelia and Causcasus without losses. I was left with no armor. Yes yes, foolish move, risking my tanks like that. But it was worth it to see the look on his face after I hemmed him in. :wink:
So in R3, my purchases were 10 armor and 14 inf (8 of which got placed in UK).
The war on the Pacific Front was negligible. Nothing significant happened. It was just a case of Japan vs US in a game of “I’ve got a bigger navy than you - HAH!” All show, and no combat. Yes, I bought a Battleship in J2, and another carrier in J3. :roll: It certainly kept the US distracted.
