@Cow:
sent lone fighter to battle it lived… do i have to land it or can i crash it?
I assume you’re asking because you committed a carrier to pick it up. If the carrier can still make it there, you must move it to get the fighter.
Russian Fighter in AngloEgypt?
-
Wanted to get your thoughts on flying the Russian fighter to AE on R1 to make the German conquest of Africa that much harder. Thoughts?
-
You just loose a Russian fighter.
1 or 2 Fighters, 1 Bomber, 4 Infantry, 1 Armor vs 1 Inf, 1 Arm, 2 Fig is almost no change as against 1 Inf, 1 Arm, 1 Fig. (assuming 2 infantry bid in Libya)
-
I tired this in my current game.
I lost the FIG, still lost Egypt with 2 Geman ARM there, and I lost hte Ukraine battle due to the lost offensive punch.

Worse still, you are now short a fighter for trading territories with which means you either build another one, or start sending artillery or worse armor into lands you don’t have the ability to hold.
-
Eh, I bought one on R1, figuring I would lose the FIG, but I expected higher casualties in Egypt from it.
-
I thought bidding died with the new veresion.
-
Just much smaller now.
Average is in the 7-9 range instead of the mid 20’s
-
I don’t think Russia has anything to spare other than the Sub. If it isn’t between Moscow and the Japanese or Germans it isn’t where Russia needs it.
-
If Germany has a starting bid in the Africa, never.
Even if not, you still shouldn’t. Germany can hit with 2 inf 2 arm 1 fig 1 bomber vs 1 inf 1 tank 2 fig and win easily.
The thing is, if you fly a fighter to Anglo, it becomes a more important target for Germany, because that Russian fighter can be a MAJOR pain.
-
Personally, I like to bid 31 IPCs. 1 Battleship SZ 5, 2 Infantry Ukraine, 1 IPC to Japan. :)
-
Any bid over 16 is an Allied loss. 3 TRN in the baltic allows Sea Lion to happen even without LRA with a 78% chance of a win. Even an 8 bid is a bit risky… a 1 in 3 chance of a successful Sea Lion on G1… if Germany uses the bid for a TRN…
(though a TRN bid would amost certainly draw 1 or both Russian FIGs to London)

Me thinks our good and faire moderator missed my point….who is gunna bid higher then 31!!! Witha 31 IPC bid I am almost guarenteed of getting the allies, especially since I am reasonably sure no one is gunna bid higher then 10 IPC…

Was not missing the point, just using it as an apportunity to illustrate :-)

Okyday. But still, imagine if someone else didn’t want to be axis and bid 32+! Wow! What a dynamic shift in game mechanics THAT would result in!
-
I’d probably resign in that circumstance… but it would not happen. I’d NEVER bif the Axis that high.

32 would be 3 trannies in baltic + 1inf 1 arm in libya
haha poor UK :evil:

And that’s the point. I know the bids comming in around the 7 to 9 IPC mark, but I’d be willing to settle for a 10, 11 IPC mark game too.
-
I am sure you would… as the Axis :-P
-
Actually, even if you bid 10 as the Axis, I’d still kill ya. We’re still talking about maybe 2 Infantry Libya, 1 Infantry Manchuria and 1 IPC to Japan. Not a vast difference in game play.
-
After combat, i always put both ussr fighters into India on go 1, then move any UK there that can reach as to secure India for the UK factory i put there at the end of G1.
