Alpha +3.9

Ok So first priority is to prevent any German Sealion Attacks. For this you would build Infantry and a few fighters.

You should have about 25-30 income so a Fighter and 6 inf isn’t out of the question.

Once you have secured you home island its time to consider offensive operations.

A good idea is to reinforce Africa ASAP. If you have managed to grab Persia or secure Egypt a factory here is a good way to boost India’s Defenses or annoy Italy.

Amphibious operations against France or Norway can also be considered but this will require many turns investment in fleet building or else the ships will be sunk as quickly as they are built. Typically a decent fleet will need carriers, destroyers and subs to protect the transports.

Typical build might be (

tank + Mech + Inf = 13 (for S-AFRICA)
Plane (str  ftr or tac) 10 - 12
1-2 inf to round out purchases

After about turn 5 you will see which way game is going (based on uS pacific v Atlantic focus) Then you can turn your attention to helping India or reinforcing US moves in Europe.

Great, thanks again. Great forum with awesome reaction time to simple questions!

Keep it up guys!

Only 10% believe allies have an advantage, maybe I am not so crazy after all for thinking axis advantage.

oh ok

Here is a conversation about this topic in the questions thread. Does “in Europe” refer to the continent, or the map board.

i think the continent, although initially i read it as board as well.

@elque:

London’s 5 AA guns should be able to role once against each of three attacking German fighters in an amphibious assault then for a maximum of 15 die rolls. 5 AA guns each firing 3 times against each of 3 attacking air units.

the 5 London AA guns  could generate no more than 3 die rolls against the 3 German airplanes.

So … which is the correct interpretation?

In the Alpha+3 rules, London begins the game with 4 AA guns ( not sure if your scenario had the UK purchasing one or not, but just wanted to point that out)

@Omega1759:

That’s what I would do, but his move was to bring the destroyer in 104 to block the German fleet and prevent boxing the med fleet in the Med.

Strategic Bomber from N. Italy to SZ 104.

85.49% chance of clearing the destroyer. (Slightly better than 50% chance to survive.)

Hey Field Marshal, no problem in posting on other site, I put them out here to share……  Sorry so long in getting back to ya, I hadn’t been on here for a while.

I have another idea that I’m might post soon if there’s am intrest…  It’s two documents that I use to track the game for fun and if there is a mistake you can refer back.  The’re simple, I didn’t want it to be time comsuming.  One is a grahpic global map and I just fill in the territories as they change powers.  It interesting after a game to flip through the images and watch how this changed hands and played out.  The other is an exec spredsheet that tracks the powers IPC count, keeping a real time comparison of the balance of power with percentages and graphs created when the IPC numers are put in.
