Numbers are looking good, Moscow looks safer, almost secure. Spain looks safe, my fleets, Calcutta, Egypt.

beelee

Right on. You'll have to make the above adjustments with the Marine attacks though.

crockett36

@beelee yeah, that was a local turn. have to pull the trigger on the real thing. Next post sends 6 brit units to Moscow in case he can rip through that gap with more than I know.

@crockett36

Right on. I'll go through the rest now. Give me a few before you post for real

@beelee Norway is almost a no-go zone in this iteration on account of the higgins boats, paras, air transports, etc.

crockett36

@crockett36 reserving to the right to change my mind about repairing fact in Spain up until combat roll.

beelee

@crockett36

It's tough. If the Allies can get a foothold it forces the reich to ignore or take dudes away from E Front. They need a big Navy to protect it though.

So Air Trprts can only move 1 guy at a time. Only 1 UK Inf to Spain and either the Arty or Inf to Sumatra

crockett36

@beelee good. thank you.

crockett36

@crockett36 So a player who knew the rules would assume those Ge air transports are for moving tanks 5 spaces?

crockett36

@crockett36 A US army group is 4 units. An infantry, artillery or tank and a ...?

@crockett36

You can do it before combat roll but not after. Almost done going through it.

Post again before you pull the Trigger in combat and I'll dbl check.

I'm not seeing where the UK Air came from for Volgograd

crockett36

@beelee Egypt. Repositioned them to MOscow, but the fig can't reach.

beelee

@crockett36

That's one use. Can get Rommel to N Africa. The Air Trprts are pretty sweet when you get used to them and fairly cheap.

USA Army Groups are TGs and Tanks only. So 5 Tanks and a Patton

crockett36

@crockett36 I see all these unit limits and know I should be using them, but am not confident enough. the higgins boats and marines for example. Or elites or paras.

@crockett36

It's ok Brother. It's a complex mod even if you a Global veteran. takes 2-3 games to get comfortable with it.

I'll give a final input in about 10 minutes for you with some suggestions

crockett36

I'm assuming you can only do total war purchases one.

beelee

@crockett36

You can buy as many as you can afford and place. Each buy of a Unit group has to place in same TTy. So you can by 8 Air Trprts and put them all in the same spot or break them up in groups of 4

Have to upgrade to Hvy to place the Infantry as there are 11 and can only place 10

beelee

@crockett36

For USA buy, I'd suggest no Marines and 3 less Inf. That gives you 12 bucks. # Armored Inf or 2 and a Arty. Stick em in Spain. The Marine off the e Coast can pair up with the Arty.

I'd put you Air Trprts in DC or LA and make sure you have enough or as many dudes as you can to load and Trprt next turn.

Remember Nippon can Trprt with DDs so best keep a lookout to the W Coast.

I would still hit Turkey even though the Marines only hit at 1. Carolines for sure. I forgot to blowup the NB last turn lol

The Japanese commander is going to commit seppuku lol

Back with more in a bit

Edit
Oh yea I'd take 4 of the extra bucks and move the Spain fctry undrg. That way you don't have to worry about that Bmbr and if you think you might lose it, you can blow it up.

Obviously that a last resort.

Edit 2
You probably want to move the Egypt Fctry Undrg too. Unless you gonna have a Ftr there.

Anyway, I have some chores I need to tend to before dark. Still hot and humid here. Supposed to break on Tuesday and be in the 70s rest of the week. Yay

Edit 3
Oh yea idk how effective the LCVs gonna be for USA. You could hit S and N Italy from Spain with them so maybe 1 would be ok but I think you get more bang for your buck with Armored Inf and Arty

Edit 4
Yea I would definitly keep the UK Para build. It's the best way to hit Norway

crockett36

just informed me i can't build a heavy so i will build 3 higgins boats.
