Axis and Africa!

[Rommel34]

Ok, so the game is:

Axis
Germany: Rommel34 (ihateZarbon1@yahoo.com)

Allies:
Russia: Bossk (need email)
UK: cystic crypt (the_timster29@hotmail.com)
US: EmuGod (need email)

Everyone alright with that? We can try to start when you give me the emails. Obviously we arnt playing bid…anyone have any house rules they wanna put into effect?

[cystic crypt]

I’m thinking we allow Bossk to decide where to allocate his 12 ipc’s. The UK would LOVE another destroyer, by the way :)

My e-mail address is emugod4ever@yahoo.com

begins to plot his first german move

I’m keeping the initial 12 btw, im not buying anything.

Hey crypt, I’ll give you the southern states in exchange for Canada, Egypt and Palestine.

[Rommel34]

eh emu? Southern states? You need to look at a map (not the modified one) and read the rules on hasbro.com before you play ok? :D

agreed.
or at least give me something with an IC on it. Or don’t you trust me given the Axis’ current state in the ongoing online game . . . :o

Also BossK, we need to chat soon about your placement of the 12 . . . i’m thinking Africa . . . somewhere in the east - at least to slow down German forces - esp if he’s holding the ipc’s he’ll have to build something before he can get down there . . . maybe Monty can acquire a little more land? Mind you, Russia can always use more artillary to go with all of its infantry to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK (unless you prefer a more “winning” style . . . ) :)

Well, what happened in the game, guys?

When I played as UK and Germany more or less ignored Africa, my little force was able to attack on even terms – we got lucky and chased em out of Libya!

When I played as Germany, I took Malta and whupped Monty thoroughly, sank the E Med Brit ships, and then rolled armour into Caucasus. Soviets had nothing at that point to stall with. The IPC drain really rankled the Allies, and the shock value of the southern salient into Stalingrad outweighed what I might otherwise have done in the Atlantic with the task force.

Avanti!

Is Gibraltar a good target for Germany?

[ZimZaxZeo]

If you are Germany, and intend to have a naval force operating in the WMed or SAtlantic, then you can forestall Allied use of fighters against this fleet by stationing inf in Gibraltar.

Perhaps also by taking Gibraltar early on, you give Allies the impression you will be striking out into S Atlantic. Thus they may devote some energy & material in that direction; could be a reasonably good low-price diversion.

Of course, after 99 years you will have a messy political referendum on your hand as Spain presses for “reunification” of its former possession. Ach du lieber!
