Battleships

@Morgrim16

Hahahaha! Just stumbled upon this and you’ve got to give him credit for creativity.

@Cmdr:

Without Japan helping in Russia, Germany’s going to be hard pressed to earn 22 IPC against Russia and England.

How about
@Sensible:

Without US helping in Europe, Russia’s going to be hard pressed to keep Germany at bay.

or
@Another:

Without US helping in Europe, England’s going to be hard pressed to make any inroads on Germany.

You continue to amaze and surprise with your ability to apply logic on one side, and not equally on the other.

I’d say 3 Destroyers b/c the game also thinks 3 destroyers are better.

3Destroyers = 12(3) = 36
Battleship = 24

Duh, even my Dog knew that, except he doesnt know how to jump, I taught him once be he just began to fart at me

@joshost:

have you ever heard of the quote all is fair in love and WAR. that is all i have to say.

What? :-?

My odds calculator tells me that there is about a 25% chance of the bomber winning, 25% chance of the BB winning and 50% chance they both die. This assumes one-hit BB and no heavy bombers

Considering that while the BB costs more IPCs than the bomber, keep in mind it can do potentially much less attack damage (one time potential hit only on amphibious assaults) and on defense is essentially equal to only two transports (my odds calculators says 45% BB, 45% transports, 5% both die) I wouldn’t worry about it. Let them bomb away and your opponent will likely lose their bomber.

However, if you really don’t want to lose the BB, just make sure you keep a transport or two with it for “fodder”.

Its usually not a good idea to split up your navy anyway, I always make sure to keep some transport or submarine fodder next to the powerful and expensive ships whenever possible. As for land operations, you should always keep cheap (infantry or transports) weapons alongside expensive items (BB or bombers) so if they are attacked, the cheap items can be eliminated first.

but if only there was a sea zone in the center of the atlantic.

Any more questions at all? Does anyone wnat to help play test. You need ot have an Instant Messenger system though preferably AOL Instant Messenger but MSN will also do.

2 moves to get there, no moves to fire.
