Iron War 0.2.6 - redrum (Axis) vs Black_Elk (Allies)

@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.

Heheh guess I hosed myself pretty hard there. Not sure where I botched the calc. I remembered thinking I set myself up last round for 60% odds to the attacker in the Celtic sea zone with an average of like 4 units remaining and then determining it might be a worthwhile trade. But that was like a sure shot 98% for G. I must have forgot to add in some aircraft or double clicked a ship or something when running the numbers heheh.
Looks like we might have to prepare for Island Invasion after all! lol.
ps. Sorry the battle of the Atlantic showing from the Allies wasn't stronger. I suppose pulling back and building out of Halifax was really the only play for the Brits?
I think I will set a revised goal for myself of seeing if we can survive until early 1942. Catch you after Balkans/Finland
-
So assuming something like what you did on the water ends up as a fairly standard G opening, and the Brits can't really build out of England... I guess the slicker play is probably Allied convergence in North Atlantic SZ 6, with the British PT Boats to Atlantic SZ 4 maybe? Try to get everything to Trafalgar SZ in the second round. If Gibraltar can hold out past round 1, maybe bring up support from the French and the British-Colonies out of West Africa, as well as the 3 dudes from Brazil. Land the British/American air-transports there along with whatever fighters you can spare in the second round to try keep Italy off your back. Creep up to Britain for a naval build in the third round?
But then again if Germany is unopposed and camps in the Celtic Sea zone with all their starting naval units, or does something wild like build a factory in Normandy to support a bolstering of their Atlantic fleet with sub spams and such, then the Allies probably wouldn't be able to push them out in the third round, so the delay would be longer. Maybe not as comfortable a place to camp for G's transports as the North Sea Zone, but it still allows a redirect to Baltic States in one move. I think the Western Allies have their work cut out for them to make that crossing in a timely manner hehe. Will have to try something different next time out.

Hindsight being 20/20 haha, maybe something like that would have been a cleaner opener for the Brits. What do you think? Does it put too much riding on Gibraltar? Italy can still get in there with 2 fighters and 3 dudes, so I'm not sure if it does the trick. Not sure of the approach to Egypt either... sort of like you want to leave it light enough to maybe draw the Italians into a first round gambit to snag the factory spot and the suez canal instead of going after the Straits on the other side of the med, but still give yourself a chance to hang on if they come at ya right out the gate. Egypt is kinda screwed regardless, but least this way you put a bit more heat on Iraq. Thinking the South African fighter flies up from Gold Coast to land on the US carrier's third spot the following round, since it can't quite make the Gibraltar run.
Anyhow, just musing on time warps. Other than giving G a pass (which seems sort of unavoidable) any major flaws I'm not seeing? Just been sitting here trying to come up with a different way to handle the British opener that maybe puts more pressure on the European Axis.
Gotta split and grab some dinner. Catch you in the late night if you're around dude

I agree, although my impression of the USA aid thing is that its basically like giving Russia or Britain a 20 PU value territory that can't be taken . Aid to China/France is kind of a toss up, since if you push the whole wad into aid then it only leaves you with enough for like 1 transport a round. Probably USA needs to spend one round building at home to make an effective move out with their starting forces. After that I think its as you say, send most of it as aid, until you can take Iceland or Morocco or Norway or some place that can produce closer to the action. Taking a useful production spot in the Pacific seems more challenging, just because Japan is pretty thick.
Some small cost for delivering aid might work. Like 5 PUs to send 20 to a buddy, but then seems like it would have to be all across the board like that, for all nations (to be consistent) and not sure then if it would make more sense to just have the total amounts be some set standard. I don't know, I haven't had enough actual games under my belt to see how the US would swing it, but I think sending aid to Russia at least will be fairly continous haha

@black_elk Yeah, that opening is probably better at least. You could potentially be a bit more aggressive and just put blockers in Celtic and sit next to it to still pressure Germany more. The key is really not losing UK's navy T2 so that you can potentially pressure T3 or T4.
All that being said, I think Allies are actually OP in this version and you still are in a decent place to win this game.
In terms of aid, I'd like to see most of the options as interesting choices not given. So for example, the aid to Russia might have a higher cost/tax then aid to UK or others. It doesn't necessarily need to be consistent as you can even from a realism standpoint think that USA to USSR is much further/difficult then USA to UK.

For sure. It will be fun to see what the Germans get up to with their fleet, and to find out if the western Allies can weather a solid beat down in the Atlantic and still recover.
Stalin decided to send his first air-transport on a suicide run to knock off Iran. The Brits and French are trying their best to hold onto Gibraltar for another round, while British-Colonies and South Africa are chasing down Italian ships and digging in for the inevitable murder run on Egypt hehe.

@black_elk Oh man. I didn't realize that USSR's air transport could reach Iran with that +1 movement. Not sure if I could have done anything regardless as I pretty much maxed defense anyways and looks like USSR got some lucky rolls too but had decent odds. Probably need to add a few units to Iran or Iraq after the last patch that gave the Allies the free air transports otherwise I don't think there is anyway to consistently defend Iran.

Coming in heavy eh? I like it! I think drop the aa gun first, I don't anticipate all that many rounds of combat. South Africa fighter first to die. Russian fighter last to die, in case we get lucky.
ps. yeah those airbases have a nice reach. I noticed that the pair in North America can actually reach all the way to Normandy too (as well as Gibraltar) although curiously not to England.
