dump 2 inf into Asia? Really? That’s your forces you plan to get into Asia? You only have 1 transport to work with at the start…it will take more than that to make a difference…my fleet can get back into position to hit your fleet after you hit Asia/Japan with your 2inf. Fail again.
This is my previous quote: “Japan will either have to defend to prevent crazy Brits from gutting them or risk a battle that they may not win, which will result in the gutting of Asia. The Japanese should not go past China/Russian backdoor…the hope here is for India to attack Japan…whomever is the aggressor will most likely lose the battle.”
If you land your planes there, fine, you make it so much easier to take Russia with no reinforcements from UK. You have to make a choice…at some point with the Russian lines collapsing because all your UK money is going to India. Eventually you either have to pull out your planes to defend Russia/Caucus or let it fall. My losses from attacking the UK fleet as stated will be 2DD, Sub, CA most likely…possibly 1 CV…but that’s all replacable with J1/J2 buys. You want to hold India, fine, I can build up just as easily there as you can in India…I’ll play the stalemate while Russia falls to Germany.
Ukraine IMHO HAS to be done from my Allied strat…does it have to be done for everyone else…nope…you can all in at W. Russia and go from there…but all in at Russia can have a fall back if the German player does it right…there is a way to beat the all in without attacking, but dice rolls can make it back fire…I’m not going to fight on the Ukraine topic because Allied strat can easily vary…I say attack Ukraine, but I have to have the US/UK KGF for it to work…
Correct me if wrong.
J2: 1 Bomber, 6FTRs (forget the one in Japan), 2BB, 2DD, 1CA, 1SS, 2CV vs 3BB, 2CA, 1SS, 2FTR, CV….
Odds still say 98.8% for Japan…but let me know if I’m wrong cause it is quite confusing… are you saying after UK1 you would move fleet south and buy 3BBs on UK2? So then on UK2 you move back up? It’s still 98.7 for Japan, but ok…I guess I’m in trouble.

I am not going “all in” in West Russia only, I will also take Belorussia, instead of Ukraine. That’s the point. � I build 6 Artilleries on R1 or 6 INF + 1 Tank, there are a lot of good options. Seems like this is the “fear” some here promote, that " Caucasus will “fall” to Germany, which is NOT the case at all, at the contrary, Germany will lose 30-33% of it’s armor very easy. � Even if Germany does not choose to take Caucasus, they are still to weak on Ukraine to stack anything there on G1, or else R2 will destroy whatever is there which is from my count 7 German INF, 6 Armor.
Russia will not collapse, because I will always pick my fights very carefully with Russia, that’s very important, I will NEVER let Russia lose artilleries or tanks if Germany doesn’t lose a LOT more. � You would buy like 5 German INF, 2 art, 1 tank and 1 Bomber on Germany? I don’t consider that as a threat at all. On R2 Russia can just buy 8 INF and another 1 Artillery. That’s a potent counter-offensive force, Germany will have some serious problems if they want to get to Moscow or Caucasus.
Yes, your count is right, however the point is, once again, you don’t know what I am saving money for regarding UK2. In order to win naval battle against me, you practically have to move everything Japan has, without not knowing if I will build anything on India or on the UK.
Regarding India it self, you can’t take it that easy as already pointed out. UK having a fleet in SZ30 will make you wonder HOW MANY ships or FTR you will have to move to FIC on expence of territories which USA can strike.
So we have two options. UK can attack Japanese fleet on E.Indies or the UK Fleet can be merged, and save the money for UK2 where some serious Naval buys can be put on either India or the UK. Point it, in order to have the upper hand in the naval battle, you need to move basically everything down to FIC. Making USA having more options from Iwo Jiwa and onwards.
Even if I don’t build anything on India and decide to build everything on the UK with 62 IPC, UK still have a merged fleet in the Indian Ocean and as pointed out, taking India itself is not that easy.
Regarding Ukraine, it should be pretty clear by now, that Germans die like dogs if they try to stack anything on Ukraine or take Caucasus from me. So the point is to split German forces who think in their head that they can take on Russia already on G1.
If you save your money and buy it on something else, I will hit you with 6FTRs and the bomber on J2 with my forces in Burma even with the 4FTRs you will fail…its 84% Japan…nice try again…we can do this all day out there…unless you attack the Indies fleet, you will lose India.
Who says as Germany I’m going for Caucus anyways G1/G2…that’s stupid…stop spoon feeding me bad German moves…

Come on, I never spoon fed you with bad German moves. There were couple of people here fearing Russia will “lose” Caucasus if Ukraine is not attacked, now we agree, that’s NOT the case, right?
What Germany can do is to stack 7 INF, 6 Armor on Ukraine, and that’s not enough to sit there and wait for R2. Therefore, Germany would have to rethreat to gather more forces before they can make better second push for Ukraine, so Germany basically leaving Ukraine with 1 or 2 INF would be the best option for Germany. With this strategy Germany is scared away from Ukraine without even attacking Ukraine on R1.
Anyway, do we agree on Ukraine stuff?`
There is 60% chance for UK to win if they attack Japan on E.Indies. While tempting, others who tried on this thread, failed to sink E.Indies navy, so that’s why we have to explore other options. Open-minded is the key here.
Yes, you could hit India with all the FTR + 1 Bomber, however let’s not forget AAA, they will take out half of your FTR before the fight even starts. Another point is, if you decide to attack India, I can fly 2 more FTR to India, from my Carrier in the Indian Ocean, remember? And rethreat the rest of the UK fleet while building Naval Power on London on UK2.
Therefore if you want to take India, there will be 6-7 INF, AAA, 6 FTR waiting there.
vary rarely does an AA take out half an air Force…
If Russia doesn’t take Ukraine, you easily forget the FTRs that can be there for Germany…that’s what you have to worry about…troops by themselves, yeah, Russia has the advantage, but Germany has enough FTRs that Ukraine can be stacked (only need the Bomber/SS to attack the BB and use the German BB to hit the CA (letting the DD live)…now you have 6FTRs there…
Germany: 7inf/6tanks/6FTRs vs Russia: 8inf, 2art, 6tanks, 2FTR? Plug the numbers how you want, but it’s 94% in German favor of that battle…numbers may change, but it shouldn’t change the percentage that much.

I see a a large amount of cherry picking, strawmanning and assumptions. If you two are so sure of your strategies, play a game against eachother and prove them.
sorry if I’m streaming…I’ve said that before…but I have to make my points quick, because most of mine are being done at breaks during school…Cherry Picking? What is this, hockey?

Added nothing to the discussion. Good job Striker. I know 42 better than Global…that’s why I don’t post strats in Global, I just ask questions…same with 41…only played it twice, said what I saw, and that’s it…
