Strategy Guide Global 1940

The norm barnee.

@the-captain yea I thought about it. Coulda got 1 less inf and Fort. It can’t reach India though. Probably shoulda dusted it too.

Germany gonna dust Normandy Factory next turn. Gonna keep the Base as I don’t see it really helping the Allies

Fun stuff.

Read through all the Strat Guides before the turn. Had to do some rule refresh but Commiesar Corps 1 is formed lol

@barnee

Why did Japan invade French Indochina? It doesn’t seem like they are at war with the Western Allies yet. This denies you 10 IPCs.

@superbattleshipyamato123 i like to build a factory and air base on turn 2. But yea, it has it’s drawbacks as well

I misremembered the rules on this. I need to go underground turn 2 and then I can dust it turn 3. @The-Captain is that right ?

Tsk tsk. Was there a underground factory in fic in war ?

@general-5-stars heh heh nah this one in Normandy. Don’t want Uncle Sam getting his hands on it

But I got commandos to destroy before you.

Hhhmmm it is house rules game. Maybe I’ll have to talk to the Captain about adding Big Boys. Lol

Blowing up those Naval Bases in the Pacific really jacks with Japan’s movement lol Nice

@the-captain said in Strategy Guide Global 1940:

I wouldn’t destroy that Factory - until it was threatened by Allied units.

yea I just hit turn 3. UK already has a couple Paras and I need to defend S France and Norway. I guess i can trade Belgium and Normandy if needed.

If I defend everything, I defend nothing and i really need some bullet stoppers for the Eastern Front. But yea, it’s nice being able to drop a Wolfpack there :)

@the-captain said in Strategy Guide Global 1940:

We do have British Commandos already in game.
Hard-hitting attack units - limited in numbers, but deadly when striking.

Yea I used one early in India and attacked E Africa, but haven’t bought anymore yet.

Been Buying 1 marine a turn and attacked Marianas USA2. Plan on boosting to at least 2 a turn and then Max out when the Fleet ready.

Is key to buy an arty for every one too. Need Artys for the Elites also. Need a bunch of Artillery lol

Mech Inf seems a lesser buy, especially for Germany and USA. Rail kinda lowers their need as well, it seems. JPN probably still need em in Asia and Russia and Italy too, I guess

@the-captain said in Strategy Guide Global 1940:

@barnee

Did you try to fortify Philippines with US units?

Just with Fortifications. I left the Air and the DD there. Moved the sub out. JPN was gonna attack RD 2 so I knew I couldn’t get anybody there soon enough. They only had 1 land unit left when it went down.

Basically just doing what I’d normally do. Haven’t tried any new strats yet for the most part. Just making sure it’s working correctly.

Wax and i got the issue fixed, so I’ll do an update maybe later today. Couple small bugs I need to fix as well

@The-Captain was just going through the 43 rules again and noticed the LCVs in the setup. That hadn’t really occurred to me to use them as trprts. That’s a good idea for reinforcing Norway and Lenningrad.

Could even send some to N Africa and leave em as fodder hits.

Anyway, gonna start another test game. 43 looks as if it might take a little longer than first thought but it’s up next. Since it uses the same rules, might as well get it out there. Might get some playtesters for finding bugs : )

Edit
I was incorrect on the LCVs. Can only be used as Fodder on “Amphibious” attacks and can only move 1 on land during NCM. So my plan won’t work. Might be good for an initial Lenningrad attack though.

Well Germany doesn’t have a Naval Base , so that won’t work either lol

@the-captain yea but can only be used to transport while attacking correct ? I can’t send em to Norway from W Germany, because I already own Norway and they can only move 1 on NCM on land.

That right ?
