Keep it up. I was myself thinking an invasion of America in AAE40 so I find your global strategy quite interesting!

@defoliant:

Indeed, some UK navy will be left on the board, but how will it reinforce the Sovs? As long as Denmark is Axis, the Baltic is a German lake. Also, as Cal said, if you choose to attack USSR on G1, you should by all means kill the Soviet navy.

Oups my bad, I forgot about the Danish Straights. It’s still hard to fortress western europe when the UK controls the sea, with the USA joining them on turn 4 or 5.

A G1 attack on USSR force you to watch carefully Poland and Germany (even maybe Norway or Denmark) because they can drop 2 units with their transport and BB. UK could even reinforce the USSR navy with their surviving navy, so that must be something to consider. This could be an suicide attack from the USSR (losing there initial navy) but it can cut your forces in two and block your tanks and mech inf from joining your infantry stack for one turn, giving more time to USSR to organise themselve.

For Germany, pressuring the south would be the best choice though, because there are few unit there and Stalingrad could fall easily (even more if you have a major IC in romania).

How does UK reinforce the Russian navy if the UK navy dies on G1? In fact, if you’re doing G1 Barbarossa, the BB/Tr should be attacked

Well I didn’t plan out all the move, but I don’t think that Germany can, in it’s first turn, kill all the UK navy, kill the USSR BB/Tr, take France and attack Bessarabia & Eastern Poland. Maybe they can do it, but there will be a few weak point in Germany setup. If you buy a major factory in Romania to keep the pressure on the USSR, they won’t be much of the Germany navy left so UK could take advantage of that.

I’ll try to do a simulation of all those G1 move , but I think it’s seems to good on paper to work that well in a real game.
