Help!

@Krieghund thanks again. Pretty sure they are going J4 and sealion. Hold on!

I’ll add to Grim’s post a small note.

If able, start bombing Moscow.  Use Japan’s bomber(s) if needed.  They can hit from Western China.  Have Japan keep casually gobbling up Eastern Russia to pinch their economy more.

@teslas

Send subs to take out UK cruiser in 93

Kill the boats in 93 G1 and land the planes in Southern Italy. 2 German planes (if both survived attack on French fleet) now available to scramble against Taranto.

G1 - don’t land any planes in West Germany (air base) and leave the 1 trns you start with unprotected in SZ 113. The only thing that can hit the unprotected trns is the UK bomber. If they take the bait (lots of people can’t help but go after unprotected trns), then that bomber can’t take part in Taranto.

Italy needs to land in Syria turn one. ignore Egypt. You can take Egypt later.

If UK using Gibastion strat, Italy will have 2 good options on I1

If you would like to do a Sealion, send your entire fleet to Syria and land your two tanks/two inf on Syria. UK will cross the med with their planes and prob their boats too. Germany buys a bunch of trns next turn and UK too far away to do anything about it.

If you are not planning on Sealion, send your entire fleet to Syria and land troops on both Syria and Cyprus. Cyprus will prevent the ftrs on Gibraltar for attacking your boats. Cyprus will most likely deny UK NO for rest of game so that’s good too. (this assumes UK didn’t activate Greece).

hmmm, UK should activate Greece turn one if doing Gibastion. planes can land there if Cyprus taken

thanks again for further clarification, makes all sense to me!:-)

No Problem.

To Ghr2,

Appreciate the apology.  Takes a lot to admit faults one might have.  I just think you should use a little more tact when posting.  Just because you are super competitive doesn’t give you the freedom to be rude/offensive.  I am competitive as well.  I just tend to lean towards giving people the benefit of the doubt. I may not agree with a strategy but I will wait to see it before I start saying it won’t work.  You have great ideas on counters to situations, you just word them bad.

Regarding me playing you.  I did PM you in order to play a game when I had no idea how to use triple a.  I just needed someone to help me through the initial process and I had hoped that would be you.  What I got was short, nondescript replies implying that I was an idiot for not knowing how to use the program.

cant wait for G40 on stable version :-D

@SSPanther:

Hey Krieghund (sp?) or anyone else out there, I need to questions answered for a game we are playing now.

1. If the US is not yet at war with Japan, and flies their fighter from the Philipinnes to Burma or Kwangtung, if the Japanese then attack the British in either of those territories, does it provoke the US and bring them into the war? Or can this non-combat move even be made by the US

1. The US, while neutral, cannot move units into or over territories that do not belong to them.  They cannot move a fighter into a UK territory, and thus this example can never happen.

@SSPanther:

2. Can Russia, when not yet at war, move ships into a seazone with UK ships, and can they move into a seazone with German ships?

3. Can Russia, when not at war, move into NW Persia?

Thank you!

2. Yes

3. No, not until at war on that side of the board (so war against German or Italy).

/holding breath

@tytyboogie:

my question is lets say russia takes a german territory on there turn(2) and has there land units in that territory…on the U.K 's turn (4) in that same round…can U.K.  planes safely land there in that russia territory that they took over from germany. so basically do u have to wait for the entire round to be over before any friendly planes can land in a territory.

Any territory that starts the turn friendly to a player (in this case, the territory that russia captured) has no restrictions for movement, repair, etc.  Naval bases, factorys, airfields would all be operational, and you would be allowed to noncombat land planes there.

This is also why it’s better, if it’s possible, to liberate Russian factories with another power than to wait for Russia to liberate them, as russia would start its turn with the factory able to produce units that turn (as opposed to russia liberating it, and being forced to wait a full round).
