Intercept?
-
@pejon_88 Btw, great French move! I totally missed that.
-
@naviator Thanks!
-
@naviator No intercept thanks.

Scramble?
Fun fact, this is the second time I had to redo my move in this game because I would forget about scrambling and would attack very weak or in this case unescorted at all. Had to put some warships here just to be safe. :sweat_smile:
-
@naviator haha! This might be the 3rd redo then. After my UK turn 2 I uploaded a new file where I had moved that fig. I think you may have done Italy round 2 from my first save.
-
@pejon_88 Oh, I just see it now see. I guess I’ll redo then.
-
@naviator Yeah sorry about that.
-
@pejon_88 No problem!
-
@pejon_88 J3-completed.tsvg Hated the dice for this turn.
-
@naviator Yeah, ouch! You gambled in the Philly battle though. You could have brought more muscle.

@pejon_88 Yeah, I suppose I did, I was a bit limited by my transports and thought it wouldn’t be this bad. If I had one more or if I didn’t feel like taking Celebs, I mean, in hindsight I could have even offshore bombarded it, but I was perhaps too confident.
-
@naviator Always try and think of a worst scenario when doing battles is my advice :)
-
Well, here it is.
Losing Italian navy for a destroyer sure feels awful. I also see that going for Alaska was a mistake. Somehow I totally forgot transports next to Hawaii can reach Alaska. :( Italians fell very weak at the moment. At least now I understand meta a lot more. I feel like I am losing already. I don’t think it’s over however. :shrug:
-
@naviator I was a bit worried since I didn’t see that sea lion coming. Rarely see people do it so I was lucky I bought safely 1st round with UK (well excluding the air base). Now that I have (most likely) survived it and Germany has committed almost 100% to conquering London, USSR will become fearsome. I still think the strategy might work, had you pressed for Egypt right away with Italy since I was unable to build anything that could stop Italy with UK. I would also recommend go for the money islands with Japan as soon as you can. You pretty much have to take them all on the turn you declare war on the Allies with Japan. they give you I think 20 IPC per turn and any reasonable Allied player will try to disrupt that income for Japan.
-
@Naviator The more you play, you’ll get to realize these “small things” such as if possible having a transport with Italy is a great threat to the Allies. You can reach anywhere in the Med.
