@beelee Those German submarines are the most overpowered, dumbest, most ahistorical unit ever invented in house rule history. I'd love to know the thinking that went into that.
"I can attack you, roll a 6,4,4, and then retreat without recourse." Was this some Hitler wonder weapon?

If I played again, I'd have to have my opponent agree to not use them or explain to me what I'm supposed to be doing about it. Other than take over a territory one space away from WGer.

Hi Randy

Couple thoughts for your build. The 2nd TG 8 PUs pretty key Imo. You can have two Army/Corps active in Moscow defense.

FlakTower for another 12 PUs. 5 HPs and defend at 2 AA aginast All Tac and Bmbrs and 1 against All Ftrs.

2 bucks if you LL those two UK Ftrs. Leave you with 5. Maybe a Commisar and hook him up with a couple Guards and a Tank for some counterattacks or another Elite, have to move current one out of Moscow, and save a couple bucks for Total war/Mass Tank build next turn.

Just some thoughts but the TG gonna be a big hitter for you. Gotta keep 5 tanks to form him. Maybe you can get away with the Flak for another turn. That'd open up some other possibilities.

Grd Inf 3 for 10 bucks. Mass Tanks 3 for 12

@crockett36
heh heh yea a wonder weapon. I just finished the Tournament Rules. The Captain and company have XXI deactivated

[crockett36]

@beelee wiser heads prevail!

@crockett36

I think if it took a turn to move into the pen it could work. But attack and retreat into the pen is like, well yea I'm gonna buy one of those every turn lol

a move not turn

[crockett36]

commissars are not placed in 1st placement, right!

[beelee]

@crockett36

no they place 2nd. German Oberst place 1st because they consume a ss Inf

[crockett36]

elites can move 2 right?

[beelee]

@crockett36

no they roll twice.

[beelee]

@crockett36

Guard Inf move 2

[crockett36]

@beelee I love the many German ground units that can defend at a 4 or higher.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 Almost as much as I love how many German units can move 2 spaces.

[beelee]

@crockett36

yea I think mobility is key for most Armies. The Armored Inf are way badass Surprised he hasn't made a mobile Artillery. Maybe it just overpowers the Tanks but he could limit there number

But, while playing Germany, I always get seduced by the fancy guys and never have enough bullet stoppers.
Same thing with any Navy I control

Trout,

Can you give me feedback? I understand Beelee's suggestion for a tank general. I thought I might also add a commissar. But numbers might come in handy.

[beelee]

@crockett36

Just looking now. Yea I was wrong originally about the LL Air Bmbrs. Only UK gets USA Air LL

Edit
Bmbrs. USA can send Bmbrs to UK including Heavies. SSR can only receive Ftrs and Tacs

Edit 2
So you'll need to adjust your buy. I would suggest 3 less Inf and get 3 Guards for 10 bucks.

Will do the at thingy in case @Trout missed it.

Edit 3
Looking at this some more. So you can send a Tank instead of the Bmbr to Arch from Moscow. Hits at one less. Could send two Tanks if you really want, but unless G rolls good you should be ok.

The issue(s) I see for you are in Rostov and Turkey. The Allies should be able to hit Turkey, albeit possibly at high cost, leaving Spain at risk. But you can't let the Wehrmacht get loose in the ME.

Rail UK blockers and buy fast movers for Egypt and India.

JPN still under a lot of pressure but if the reich breaks out, Allies gonna be in big trouble.

Remember, this your first game of a complex mod of a complex game. While winning is the objective, learning the game and how triplea implements it, should be the primary goal.

It takes everyone 2-3 games to understand it and we still are all learning.

Not saying it's over, but you need to shut the reich down in Southern Caucasus at all costs imo

[crockett36]

@beelee paras need para boost to attack?
