trulpen

One bonus with this move is that we won’t waste the russian sub.

trulpen

If Italy scrambles and it fizzles, we may as backup move in more fleet than originally intended, securing z97 against german air.

See though that we may bring in an sb from Norway, so the landing in Greece should be secured.

trulpen

Another idea I consider is to move down to z54 in order to pressure the DEI more and being able to take out the tr in z42 without having to waste a sub. What do you say? The fleet is still very flexible from there, may for instance go to Marianas next turn or perhaps make a solid landing on some island. Presume it will be contested, but that ties J up a bit in the south-east.

At the same time the Carolines is a better position and 1 des, 1 sub, 1 tr is able to join up with the USN. Perhaps worth 1 aussie sub? Another idea is to move down only one ac with aussie figs on it, hit the tr, land the other fig in Queensland and be happy. If J goes after it, anything that does will likely die. Unless J is able to stack in the vicinity of z54.

Oups, forgot to build in Norway. Will adjust.

Not completely sure about this. Normandie already has a mIC and is a lot easier to hold with brittish reinforcements. Also it’s closer to Norway.

I will try to look closer at achieving both Normandie and Greece instead. Then Germany is pressured from all four fronts, which is a very good thing.

Can’t let Japan to rein free in the Indian Ocean though.

Needs enough fleet in z80, z92, z97 and z110. An option for z92 is to sacrifice the french des, which however may move to z97 and help out during the german turn.

If not Normandie, the 3 tr in z91 will go back and pick up 4 inf, 2 art from EUS. Those land units could be fleet and air in the Pac.

Arthur Bomber Harris

I don’t think that you are ready to yet take Greece. Normandy is a far easier place to hold since you can easily move UK fighters there to protect after an American invasion. Italy can be far more easily crushed with 6 Mediterranean subs convoy raiding them to death.

trulpen

Problem is the italian fleet. It will kill the subs, so need to stack fleet in z97 in order to crush the fleet next turn.

trulpen

Btw, it’s possible to move in 3 fig, 1 tac to Greece, if I remember correctly. And Italy has many units, but not much offensive strength.

surfer

Sure, we can hold Greece with Brit air. But moving the fleet to SZ97 saves the Russian sub, but loses the French DD. More importantly what are we doing with the units in SZ91? Can’t move them in without the Italians pouncing them. Unless planning on a AB in Gibraltar. Also, moving all the Red Sea fleet to Med for protection leaves S. Africa for quick jaunt from India.

I don’t know that Greece is a good play at this time. It’s hard to bring in reinforcements, but perhaps the Middle East is strong enough to start pumping troops in. But the Axis can build a strong counter over a few turns.
I like SZ97 because because it allows time to build up the Allied fleet strength and sink the Italians permanently. But Greece is a hard long term hold at this time.

I would attack Normandy. Bring 1 CV, the US troops to take Normandy. Bring Brit DD + Brits buy CV. The US lands 2 ftrs in London, and 2 ftr land on CV in SZ110. 2 Ftrs from Norway can land on Brit CV. That will defend the transports and then invasion is a go.

I don’t understand the island hopping campaign. In OOB, there is minimal advantage to taking many of these islands, and they tie up units for 3 turns, 1 to take, 1 to get back, and finally 1 to be offensive again. But since we are here and have a “dead” move for the Marshall islands group, I would take Iwo, since J cannot take it back for at least 1 turn.

In general, this is the part of the Pacific war that I call the “harassment” phase. I take any money island + any convoy opportunity that has a good trade in IPCs, while I wait for the US fleet to build. I’m not strong enough to attack J, so I really don’t know what else to do…

I mention this to find out what a better strategy entails. As I see it, trading evenly for islands is ok if I’m doing it with the ANZACs vs. J because ANZAC forces regenerate quicker.
I would take every opportunity to kill J subs+ transports, maybe wait until ANZAC and Brits to kill SZ42 and 79 SS so the US can keep its fleet as an offensive force.

farmboy

@surfer the islands have less value in OOB than BM3 but they still can be used as landing zones for Japanese air (and can mean that Japan can attack the US fleet with twice the number of air than its carriers woud normally allow). Caroline Islands is safe from that now, (although I expect on the next turn he will need to take Paulau to keep the the fleet there) but Marianas isn’t. I don’t think Trulpen is opting to go to Marianas this turn, but down the road it can be a good option for the allies to threaten Japan. With a naval base it has the same reach as Carolines into the money islands, but air on carriers there can support an attack on Japan.

I agree though that as much as possible you want to use ANZAC units. Always better to trade them rather than US units.

And Normandy is a good option as well and maybe a safer one to hold (because of the support from the UK and Norway. But as long as Greece and 97 can be safely taken and held this turn, they have some advantages though. 1) It threatens Italy more while going to Normandy takes pressure off. 2) Air can reach Moscow (and vice versa) whereas the air needed to defend Normandy can’t. 3). German factories are further away.

The US carrier in 91 is protected by the French DD in 92. But you are right that if you pull that fleet away from 80, than South Africa is a concern and probably means that the UK build and plan NCMs need to keep UK in a position to deny a Japanese attack there.

trulpen

One important factor in this is the ability to send air to Moscow if there’s a pressing need. If G builds 3 tac, 3 tank, 1 sb next turn and stacks in Bryansk, we would need an extra 12 figs, 1 tac in order to feel safe. Of course 2 sb will be in the mix as well, which more or less relieve us of 2 figs.

That definitely speaks for a landing in Greece.

If I remember correctly an effort in Normandie will need 6-7 figs to secure z110, since G may hit it with 1 sub, 2 fig, 2 tac, 4 sb.

We can simply not afford the Normandie endeavour. Sad, but true.

With Greece, UK may land a shitload of figs there and in EP as well, also keeping serious pressure on J.

Ok, this will be the plan to go forward.

If we can hold Greece or not as an outpost is not the critical issue here. Keeping Russia alive is key. Especially with that yummy extra 12 IPC every turn.

trulpen

Think I missed 1 mech, 1 tank, so that means likely 14 air needed and we have access to 20.

After the US-turn I think both China and UK was more or less forced.

J may reach z80 with 1 cr, 1 ac, 4 fig, 4 tac, which is rather hefty.

Can’t let them run amok in the Indian Ocean, so focused on a max build to secure z80. The ab will serve well.

Came to think of that the french fig may land in Persia as well, so will change the landing of UK-air to 2 figs on the ac.

Also considering moving one of the subs up north, but it’s delicate.
