UK Krieg Plan
Prerequisites;
Taranto Full (1DD 1 CA 1 CV 1 TB 2(3) FIG 1 SB)
Taranto Lite (1 DD 1 CA 1 TB 3 FIG 1 SB and hopefully 1-2 SUBS) Saves carrier for later ops. Probably too dangerous to try if they can scramble or without a bid.
Germany Buys?;
2 SB 1 Sub (Economic War. Krieg = Green)
Anything but above or below (Krieg = Yellow)
2 TT 1 CV (Sea Lion; Krieg = Red)
Kreig Plan -
Hold Africa
Build and maintain a fleet for Med/Indian Ops
Contain Italy, Constrain Japan, Maintain UK wealth for the long game
UK 1 Buy = 1 TT 1 Art 1 Armor (or SB) for South Africa. Use the remaining 11 to defend UK (1 inf, 2 art) or save the money.
Moves = Do Taranto. Land surviving planes on Syria 2 inf 1 tb 1 sb. Destroy Italians in East Africa, Activate Sumatra and/or Persia.
UK 2 = 1 art (or armor) 1 infantry for Africa. Use remaining 21-32 to build a UK ATL force to defend your transports in the Atl, or get a Carrier, Battleship or Strategic Bomber off Africa.
Moves = Prep the shuck for SA, exchanging Egypt TT for SA TT. Attempt to mop up Italians, break their bonuses. French and Americans Join off Gibraltar.
UK 3 = Buy = 1 infantry, 1 arty and whichever big piece you didn’t buy the previous 2 rounds. Most of your money should be spent now, on Africa buys and defense of London, if necessary.
Moves = mop up the Italian fleets and armies. Move your fleet to SZ 80 and defend India or attack Italy.
UK 4 = Africa should be pretty secure and surviving mobile units are moving towards Iraq, which Russia can take.
Russia can be passing through with 2 inf 1 armor 3 mech, they get to Egypt and own Iraq if this is the direction you went.
India has 14+ men 2 AAA 2 fighters 2 artillery 2 mechs 1 armor plus a Grand Fleet and 7 income.
India Fleet has 1 BB 1 CV 2 FIG 1 CA 1 DD with 1 DD in the Med. and 1 SB 1 TB 1 FIG on Persia.
Moves = Own the med, Move to Moscow’s rescue, Build an MiC, position against the Axis. .
Pros; No extra factories are needed. UK income and UK PAR are better protected than in most games.
Cons; Not the fastest way to pump UK income into Russia (Persia is), cannot be done if your homeland is under pressure. Doesn’t directly address Russia until UK 6.
