Raiding Soviet Artic convoy

@generalhandgrenade Thanks GHG. Useful info for my ongoing game.
Bad luck the Spring Offensive. Had my money on you. Better luck next time.

@linkler to attack the Soviets in July 39 before they have an opportunity to declare war first Germany will only have one turn to purchase tanks and mechs and place them in range to get to Warsaw/Romania in Jan 39 and then to Moscow in July 39 with the lightning war. There will not be enough units to capture Moscow with that. Germany doesn’t have enough production slots available to put enough down in that first purchase. - remember that the first turn
You are able to purchase blitzing medium tanks is July 38.

Also: you are going to attempt to sign the Molotov pact with the Soviets to buy you that time needed to build up your tanks and mechs (and position them in Warsaw/Romania)

@insanehoshi Always something I haven’t thought of in this game that pops up. I hadn’t really considered hoarding IPP to utilize the lower unit cost that first turn after war starts!

I was going to suggest the same thing as @Noneshallpass too. You can leave a smallish screening force on the borders to prevent any deep penetrations right away. Enough to hopefully make blitzing unrealistic. It might cost you a decent amount of militia, but you can keep your more important units intact that way at least.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast thank you very much!

@trig said in Radar's Convoy Modifier:

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Looks decent, the only thing I might do is add the word “defense” as convoying is an attack. So it would read “… convoy defense roll.”

Yes, that’s a good idea! Edited, above. Thanks, Trig!

According to rule 9.11 a convoy line will close if one or both territory at either end is possessed by an Enemy. A closed convoy line cannot be raided.

The Tokyo Line goes to Tokyo, but the other end is in sea zone 122, not any specific island, so it would not be closed unless Tokyo falls, at which time Japan has bigger things to worry about…

Thank u sir

Yes. It says so on the Russian reference sheet
