US Air Land on East Russian Territories

I’ve thought some more about the details of this strategy. Firstly, it is not advised against a G1 DOW. So if we proceed on the assumption there is no G1 DOW, I like these builds/moves:

place 2 inf in Stalingrad

move the 2 inf in Caucasus to Kazakhstan - China bound.

move a tank to Turkmenistan.

move a AA gun towards China

remaining 2 mecs + 1 tank + planes move towards China.

UK West India inf activates East Persia

That way you can still take Iraq with a G2/G3 DOW.

If there is no G2 DOW, move the Stalingrad inf + Turkmenistan tank to Caucasus and leave Persia for the UK. Take NW Persia USSR3 & Iraq USSR4. With a G2 DOW, Turkmenistan tank activates Persia and Stalingrad inf proceed to the eastern front with Germany. Tac bomber positions to support the attack on Iraq USSR3.

Downside - are too many troops being stripped from the Eastern Front?

Great post Pancake!

I did read somewhere a post or repost where Larry agreed with adding the Rus bomber to the G40 starting set after the 2nd edition was released. He was just concerned how the rest of the world would know about the bomber. Could anybody confirm this and/or post a link?
Thanks.

There is a reason why I strongly prefer to play the axis.

My last live game I was like, “I will give you a Russian bomber, 5 usa inf anywhere in mainland america, a sub in sz 98, and an infantry on new guinea. If I get to be the axis.” He was like “that sounds like a really good deal.”

It was a close game.

It is like America’s economic system, it will crash then money will be reallocated based on the social security system. That is the game plan. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, sure the people who start out with the most monetary wealth in this new system will be the ones who paid into social security the most (makes sense to me). Everyone has other wealth, land, possessions etc so wealthy people will be fine.

I do not see why anyone would be afraid of the dollar collapse.

Just try that 5 inf USA, bomber russia, sub 98, inf new guinea. Like if you are good with the axis you should be fine with the allies getting all that stuff.

Looks like you are right…

«• A fighter or tactical bomber can land in a sea zone
(even a hostile one) that is adjacent to an industrial
complex you own if you will be mobilizing an aircraft
carrier that you previously purchased in that zone
during the Mobilize New Units phase.»

…from the A&A Europe rulebook p.23.

For those who struggled to find this, it’s actually on page 22.

Ya, under “Where Units Can Move”

@Young:

After AA guns have fired at attacking air units (if any) they may be used as casualties during an ensuing land battle. If land units attack a territory with only AA Guns defending, they are defenseless and are removed from the board without rolling dice.

pretty sure it’s not just a land unit.  A single air unit can clear an infinite number of AA guns, assuming it makes it past that single die roll.

Interesting, clears them, but doesn’t take the territory.

Yep.  Never leave AA guns alone, just as you never leave transports alone.

Thanks.

ah ok, well thanks for clearing that up for me.
