Iron War 0.2.6 - redrum (Axis) vs Black_Elk (Allies)
-
Damn, not bad there. Ruskies stood tall in Western Turkistan and the Indian transport to boot, I'll take it hehe. Hopefully helps the Allies to hold the center a little bit longer. I went with that naval blocking plan for the minors in the Pacific, and then sent as many dudes as I could to prop up French Indochina. Bought a bunch of bombers. Will have to see how that pans out, but hopefully makes Thailand sweat a bit.
Anyhow, back to you man. Catch you after Japan

@black_elk I see you weren't kidding about the naval blocks... There are random Allied ships all over the Pacific! I'm gonna have to think about Japan's turn a bit.

@redrum take the hit on the transport. Keep the big guns firing this time haha

@redrum said in Iron War 0.2.6 - redrum (Axis) vs Black_Elk (Allies):
@black_elk I see you weren't kidding about the naval blocks... There are random Allied ships all over the Pacific! I'm gonna have to think about Japan's turn a bit.
Yeah I figured it was a choice between getting smoked all at once, in one big blunt, with Japan consolidating their fleet immediately, or smoked with little hits all over the place, where at least I could tie down some enemy aircraft and warships.
The hope was to keep Japan off Hanoi if the cruiser AA hit. But that Japanese bomber has a lot of flight paths, so kinda tricky. Maybe a cleaner play for the block is to worry less about New Guinea and Australia and leave more ships in the South China Sea Zone to deter the air attack? Not really sure, but Japan has a lot of heat they can bring and USA is a little light out of pearl to do much in the first round.
I wonder if the Americans should maybe be given a Pacific transport at the start, so Japan has to consider the Truk defense a bit more? Kinda the same deal on the Atlantic side too. The way its set up now, the Axis team doesn't have to trip too much about USA landings anywhere until like round 4. I'll have to think about how to spend that USA cash, whether on aid or to start dropping naval units.
-
@black_elk Yeah, when I first opened the save, I thought Japan was totally screwed with all those blocks. But Japan has a pretty large fleet to start so can spread it around to clean up all the blocks fairly well as well as use NCM to still position its transports fairly effectively for J2. But it does slow down J1 as they aren't really able to make any amphib assaults.
Given that the Allies have a lot higher starting income than the Axis, I think Japan has to have a relatively easy road to taking out French Indo and Sumatra. Otherwise, Japan will get squeezed out as the combination of the Allies in the Pacific probably have 2-3 times their income. Given that, I think the USA has to start out pretty weak in the Pacific. I think the balance probably is then India/ANZAC/China/USSR should generally be hard for Japan to push through as the combination of those plus some USA Pacific involvement should get to fairly balanced fronts.
-
Definitely true, every round those little dudes have to stack hitpoints is a round where Japan has to burn their oil reserves shifting around, so maybe better if they have that breathing room vs the US fleet. China is in sort of bind though. If I stick it out and try to make a defense of Chungking I might pull some ground off the India crush temporarily, but its a bit of a lost cause and leaves the Russians with a pretty big headache in that vast middle area. On the other hand the withdraw to Qinghai/Urimichi is a little precarious, since we don't really have enough juice to deadzone Lanchow by ourselves. Guess its up to Russia to start arming Mao asap and hope for the best lol

Late 1940, here we come! Back to G
The Americans sent aid to Russia and Britain, then bought some support for the Pacific fleet at Pearl with the leftover change, mainly because I didn't want to spend the oil to move it back to San Diego lol. Couldn't see abandoning my forward position entirely, although we still lack the transport capacity to pose a real threat, at least I think we should have enough defense power to stay put for the time being. Fingers crossed
-
@black_elk Yeah, the whole USA giving aid seems a bit overpowered and mostly a no brainer. Better to push the money to allies that are closer to the fronts. Starting to think there should be some kind of tax/loss on the aid giving to make it more of an interesting choice.

Going big eh haha. Hmmm nothing fancy, max defense power do or die. You can go by the defaults. French ships of equal value can die before the British ones.
-
I really don't like the thought of a transfer tax. I know that the transfers can be a cheap way to get PUs/power to the front, but it is not without consequence for the sender. In short, giving away PUs effects the sender's PU/Iron ratio.
As I see it, it should be a smart thing for a major nation to give at least some PU-support to minor nations, but not something that is an absolute necessity. In regards to USA (a special case as it also exports to othe major powers), USA should think of USSR as a partner that could really need the support to survive and UK as a nation which can help to "get PUs to the front". In general, If a big nation gives too little, "thier" minors could be in danger of getting overrun. If they give too much and empty their coffers, the big nation can end up with a lot of Iron in proportion to PUs (as big nations do not send Iron to small). I would think this made the large nations buy mostly ships and heavy land units. If these forces go into battle bringing nearly no fodder infantry or fighters, it gets expensive to attack.
I don't know if I am just imagining this a consequence worth thinking about and planning after, but I would think that you will also experience USA having too much Iron if USA gives to much PUs a way.
-
@frostion While the USA may end up with extra iron/oil, I think the lost opportunity cost of not spending that is very small compared to getting PUs closer to the fronts especially USSR. I'd have a hard time seeing any decent USA player not pretty much always transfer the max to USSR no matter how much iron/oil they have (maybe only exception is if USA can get a factory very close to one of the fronts). One of the reasons is Iron still feels kind of weak and really is only needed for naval units (more of a nice to have for building strong/faster land units). Also air units still seem kind of strong especially after all the nerfs to AA guns to make them less spammable.
