Hardcore Axis Player, I have a lot of questions

@Dylan:

Damn it, I was doing that (bombarding after the fight,) but I then just send the bomber instead I guess.

You can send the bomber but just the 2 inf, 2 arm and 1 ftr give you 87% of winning Egypt on G1. I prefer to send the bomber instead to attack SZ2 .

I just (sometimes) send in the fighter from Norway, to kill the transport.

In Z2?

yeah.

If you want to kill that transport, you have to kill the battleship first and have at least one attacking unit survive. So, sending just the fighter is unlikely to do the Axis any good.

I know it sucks.

That’s why you use the SS, ftr, and bomber

@calvinhobbesliker:

Would you do that.

I would.

Yes

It is fairly typical for German to use the SS, Ftr and Bomber in Sz2.  If you do not, then you need to ensure you can hit Sz3 hard to keep the british fleet builds on Sz2 and to ensure all Brits builds are used just to defend the BB.  Fleetwood Dan did this to me as Germany in our second game and it totally screwed up my plans.  Dan, did the Russian build of a bomber on R1 cause you not to attack Sz2 in G1 for some reason?  If so, was the reason because it could hit Norway and perhaps the german fighter would be lost as you used those troops against Kar in G1 there would have been no defense for the surviving bomber?

No, it wasn’t the bomber build that stopped the attack on z2. For other readers, here’s the situation. R1 build is 4 inf, bomber. Russia takes West Russia with 7 inf, art, tank and takes Ukraine with art, 3 tanks. For the precise move: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=19028.0
In short, I wanted a Karelia stack on G1. Germany couldn’t afford to defend Norway if I did this. I would be more afraid of surviving German planes on Norway being attacked by the UK’s potential inf, tank, 2 fighters, and bomber. Realistically, if the German planes are naked, the Allies don’t need to commit so much. Also, the German destroyer to z3 could force the UK to peal off a plane from the ground attack. Any time a Russian plane dogfights an Axis plane on fairly even odds is a good day for the Axis. I’d invite that bomber versus fighter battle.
