@The:

Use my KAF

see article submission Japan Kill America First revised

Can be adapted for G40

Trying to look for it and couldn’t find it. Do you have a link by any chance?

@calvinhobbesliker:

First of all, I think Sealion is a suboptimal strat that stretches Germany thin. However, Italy or Germany should take Gibraltar and wait to counterattak any American fleet that remains.

Maybe a sub warfare against the Brits to really take away income? make them useless without the Germans having another city in western Europe to hold on to.

I wanted some idea on how to deal with America as either Germany or Italy. Lets say that the Germany take London and are fighting Russians. What should a German player do to slow down, stop, or even threaten America.

All Ideas are welcome!

Thanks guys.

@Admiral:

calvinhobbesliker … He is using the German word for ‘Sealion’…  Unternehmen Seelöwe…

I was his opponent in this game. He attacked 3 infantry, 3 artillery, 4 fighters, 3 tactical bombers and 1 strategic bomber. I had 12 infantry and 2 fighters. He also had his battleship and cruiser bombard England. Both of those units scored hits. Other than that, neither of us had extremely lucky or unlucky rolls. I was so shocked to see England eliminated so soon that I nearly gave up. Luckily, I stuck it out and eventually won!

Our running tally so far… Allies: 4, Axis: 0… Or to be more precise, Admiral T: 4, Cornmeal: 0.

Thank you for stating. I figured people know what I men’t by that. Thanks for the correction on my military size. I think my battleship only hit though… I could be wrong. If it wasn’t for me convincing you not to give up you would have never won! You owe me!

• Amen. Sounds like it worked for you because it is possible that not all Russian players will send everything to Moscow. They leave too much holding the other cities and its all yours because of out-maneuvering their slow infantry.

In the game I just recently played Russia took a aggressive stance. Germany took England on G2 and attacked Russia on G4. I would say I wasn’t in the best possible spot but when Russia decided to hold ground and counter it made it much harder for Germany. I would say the key to a Russian success ( slow the Germans) would be a Airforce. From there you are able to counter attack with Inf. and Art. all across the front.

So I’ve been reading the forums here and it seems that most people are on board with the idea of Operation Seelowe. I decided I’d take the advice and try it out with my friend the other day. It succeed.On G1 I built 2 transports and 1 AC. Then I used the entire German Air-force and Subs to destroy all remaining British boats. I only took Paris and with all my land troops leaving Normandy for G2. On G2 I built 3 more transports plus some troops to send over I was able to take England with 3 Inf and 3 Art. 2fighters(one was shot down), 1 TB. 1 SB. Of course I didn’t believe I was going to win this battle on G2 against 12 Inf and 2 fighters but I managed.

Now It seems that I have a 54% chance of making it happen each time. It seems like a great gamble to take even if you aren’t going to try Operation Seelowe because the pay out is huge.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Subs? Not going to help. There are only 2 sea zones that have US convoys, and one of them only is 3 ipcs. Any subs in either zone will be killed with a DD and planes

Yeah I was Just thinking with a big enough wolf pack you’d be able to distrupt troops coming over to Europe. If anything it would be slowing down transports and take away money from the British if you hadn’t taken England during Operation Seelowe.

@Cornmeal:

Bad idea, America Doesn’t need the help. Just played a game where (me) Germany took London on G2 and American managed to do pretty well without British help what so ever. Having Vichy France would have made it was too unbalanced in the Med. for the Americans early on. Not fair.

Huh? You’re saying it helps the allies? Wow, your axis players do not know how to handle the US

I have a huge issue with the states. I’m thinking of trying a sub warfare on the states with the germans.

@Plasticdeathbydice:

You took out russia, had egypt….and lost?

Sounds like you sat around a little too long your first few rounds after taking out moscow.

I did have egypt, It was taken with Italy on the second round as usual but I made the mistake of advancing to much into the middle east and southern russia that I couldn’t hold onto Egypt Once Americans and Brits showed up.
