But Avin… I may not be able to attack that fleet again. But this battle took place in G3. UK skipped buying in UK 1, dropped that fleet in UK2, and the US sent in THEIR build from US 1 in US2. Then in G3, Germany blasts the trannies to snot.
That means in UK3, you are going to have to replace those trannies (you can afford 3). And US will have had to buy trannies in US2 and again in US 3 to keep up a steady flow if going for the trans-atlantic ship (otherwise the forces are picked up in Eastern and US builds the transportable troops in US2, and replacement trannies in US3 for Europe landing that round.
Regardless, I took the UK out of the European gound battle for 3 full rounds with 2 repeated strikes on their Navy, and I STILL have a bit of AF left for either a suicide mission to weaken the trannies, to use for defense, to pick off stragler trannies, or for my Russia assault.
That means Germany can start building defense against UK and US in G4, losing North Africa in turns 4 & 5, Norway in 3 or 4 (to the US).
As Germany I still build at upper 30’s to low 40’s IPC’s for 4 rounds. UK and US are not on the contient until Turn 4 (except for Norway), and Russia was building at a decreasing amount, starting at 24, and probably only building in the mid teens at most for R4. Allies take their first swipe at Karelia in T4, and if they take it can start to send troops to Russia in T5 AFTER Germany’s turn. If Karelia holds, it will be Turn 6 or 7 before allied land forces reach Russia.
I am going to get 2 good swipes in as Germany before Allied landings become a critical issue, but I can still counter that with 10-13 INF per round builds. It will take the allies another several turns to get enough trannies and transportable ground forces to start denting that kind of Germany defense stack; especially if they focus on getting forces to Russia to help defend it against German assault from the West and Japan assault from the East; an assault that now has at least 5 rounds to get to Russia, probably 6, maybe 7.
