Question about Blitzing

@The_Good_Captain Yes. Only “unoccupied” territories may be blitzed through.

I noticed it was your first post after I answered:
Welcome!

We all love 1940 here, so glad you are playing it.

exactly thats why i sent my subs to do soem dirty work man the allies on west side = toast round 1 and 2 but then i need to take a chunk out of russia or round 3 im totally dead

I don’t know the exact rules but on an SBR FTRs in the target territory may be sent up to engage the enemy BOMs and escort FTRs. Sending up interceptors is optional. If you do not do so only the AA guns that are in the target territory defend.

No other units in the target territory participate in the SBR. AA and FTRs if you choose.

First off,Germany needs to take just one capital to win the game(Moscow,Great Britain,or the U.S.).I personally try to take all three capitals if I have the time or luck.This is a very difficult task to say the least.

destroyers only have an attack role of 2 during amphibious assaults.

Yea, that’s what I thought.

For the Allies to win, the Soviet counterattacks must be focused – and lucky! Build/borrow as many fighters as you can. Also I advise NOT strategic bombing. I cannot see how the high risk of aircraft loss is worth the gain of turning six German IPCs into ash. Gimme a break. Take out a couple of Wehrmacht infantry, and strafe & bomb Panzer divisions from the safety of a combined air-ground attack, and you can wipe out dozens of IPC value, with zero threat to your expensive air wings. Much better deal every time.

Meanwhile, the order of the day for the Yanks and Brits is to correctly manage the balance of transports, destroyers & troops they’ll need for D-Day. Simplify: Tan boats will haul tan troops, green will haul green. See if you can steal a forward fighter base, maybe best in Norway.

Avanti!
