I need help

@General:

I was hoping for a general concensus… You all play a lot more than me and I dont have time to be playtesting.

:?

there’s not a general concensus. Many opinions vary on USA income and Russia.

@Frontovik:

So US is down for 4 rounds. afterwards, what territory should be their main goal? i used to assault normandy or south-france, because of the IC’s. Also thought of aiming at italians, who can break through egypt now. But then russians are hard pressed.
perhaps they should land together with british in norway?

the turn sequence of Alpha 3 is ideal for attacking with USA and reinforcing with UK INFs and FIGs

edit: for me Africa is first priority (UK IPC’s + securing a front and Egypt, a VC), when that is settled i prefer to aim at Norway (NO bonus for Germany and a relatively safe spot to land, AND of course a place where USA can build an IC)

by the time africa is decently secured, russia has fallen…
(atleast alpha 2)

That can happen, but even so, as long as Axis don’t capture either Cairo or London they haven’t won.

Also i said first priority, not only priority ;)

Of course Allies need to be turning the tide by now on the other side of the map.

@Frontovik:

can germany take those 9 IPC, or take them away from russia?

No.

@Frontovik:

would it be good idea to represent those 9 IPC by the pacific part of russia, but only playing europe?
if so, with or without 18 inf and AA gun?

Possibly.

@Bonziboy:

Thanks. Thats what I thought… but it seems odd that the industry has to be useless.

I know, but it’s still actually British because if it isn’t owned by the axis it’s “safe,” the way it is. So it’s pretty much a useless British factory, until it become axis then American. The US can still land troops there while still in “British,” control.

Thank you very much!

just found it a bit odd that USSR got 9 ipc every turn and GE lost one of the bonuses of holding Europe…

but i guess i just need to play the A2 setup a bit more ^^

I thought I had seen one as well, but I was unable to find it……

IMO Germany has to do some things early game to have any chance at all.
1. Take out France turn 1(or have Italy finish it off)
1. Kill the UK fleet turn 1 and build transports to get ready for SeaLion
2. Take London or failing that cripple the UK(with subs sitting off their coast) to the point that it becomes pretty useless.
3. Have a large enough fleet to force Amercia to spend time building esort fleets instead of just rushing transports into Africa or Europe.
4. Build a stack of tanks for the attack into Russia. Because if Germany doesn’t attack Russia will.
