How balanced is this game? Might try to look for it.

Europe uses all the world rules and then a bunch more. Pacific uses all the europe rules then a lot more also.

So I think you should get world, europe, pacific in that order…

well normal bid is about 28 which is 16 extra ipc’s usually that all goes to russia. If you force it to be split, I think it’s pretty even, It might slightly favor allies, but I’m not really sure. I played this way against someone on this forum who didn’t believe me, I was germany, and won easliy (>99% odds on moscow)

what do you think about a russian sub in the white sea for a bid, it seems crazy, but someone did it to me, it was very effecitve. Iit more or less guarentees the soviet convoy, and then can be used for fodder to clean up the subs.

macs are cool, I mainly use linux, but i have windows on computer #3… anyway is this a picture file, or the microsoft word document? I do do both on linux (openoffice), so that will be cool! and yeah, i get +12 for germany, it’s +12 for all countries. Is this ok? hmm thinking what i should get, maybe a fighter for france…

@lnxduk:

I always played that you can build even if there are enemy units in the seazone.

I think this is the actual rule, but you have to have the battle that turn. Not sure though.

that is the worst strategy i’ve ever seen
russia will be dead and gone by about turn four if the us buys 11 infantry on it’s first turn

@Bobby:

For the 12 IPCs just for germany: That means that Leningrad falls in G1 (building a second TRN in the baltic).

Is it worth it tho? Russia can retake it pretty easily, before Germany has any chance of reinforcing Leningrad.

Well, it puts severe pressure on them, if you take the other baltic countries as well. The allies won’t send in fighters en masse, and even if russia starts to concentrate on the north, they have to do it on costs of the precious south (which also means that usually the middle east falls quickly).

if the allies don’t start building transports then germany has no pressure on the fatherland and can build a 10 turn stack if he wants. Transports are needed even if you never invade france so that germany stops building men and builds tanks. at that point you know how many turns it is to moscow, and you can transport into leningrad, convert, and be ready for the belocounter

sorry for runons I hope this helps
