EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat

@beelee OMG - so that means that I could “use” it the turn I place it. Like that magic aircraft carrier right!

So some units are totally use and abuse and some are like, wait wait, gotta wait your turn…. I LOVE IT !!!

As I said I don’t care about makes sense or feels like should be or not… I just want to learn what IS and use that to victory, Moooooohahahaha

I'm tempted to ignore the UK and France and just plow to Moscow but I dunno.

Not a bad startegy well except for the France part However the Soviet Conscription usually slows the Wehrmacht down for a couple turns and the UK with Paras and LCVs, if not blocked, keep the Western Front active to a certain extent.

My guess is that is done for Historical reasons mostly, although Dieppe did happen. But primarily to force the Reich to leave some Forces in the West.

Otherwise Conscripts or no, SSR would be fckd Idk though, I usually get caught up playing with the U-boats and have never done a full on fck everything else attack on Moscow.

yes

however you would have been better off spending the 3 bucks on a Inf as you have plenty of current placement capacity.

Also, if/when you move the Fctry Underground to avoid Strategic Bombing Raids, SBR, you will lose the upgrade.

So the better move is to move underground and then upgrade capacity if needed

If you take Moscow, you win. Unless I take it back on a Soviet counter-attack. The only special capitol rules are Flak Towers which are normally only bought when the capitol is threatened but it's the best defensive build in the game. But since they cannot attack and not move from the capitol, their only role is capitol defense. The other one is that two Panzer Generals can be active in capitol defense instead of the usual rule of one only. Besides that nothing special. Take the capitol and you get all of his bank vaults. Then if you survive the counter-attack you win the game.

@beelee OK THAT JUST SUCKS hahahaha

Had I known that I would not have spent the money. There are so many details to this game

Trout

@johnnycat On your J turn, you can do Edit to build an infantry and take back the factory upgrade. That would not change the game too much.

Trout Cat Game 3 J1 GAME NOTES.txt

This turn many beautiful Japanese women go on many cruises. All very peaceful...
(shhh don't mind those nasty Chinese. And those whitey blokes, that was all a misunderstanding), so no need to attack peaceful Japanese ladies this turn...

@johnnycat

Yea flakTower Capital only. G SSR UK and Italy only ones that get it. I think lol Maybe the yanks do I can't remember

Trout

@johnnycat Hey JC. Just looked at your J1 turn. A few issues and/or potential issues:

You can only railroad thru territories that you owned at the beginning of the turn so no can do choo choo to the country with the finest curry in the world.
Attacking France, ANZAC or UK triggers USA entering the war. The only country J can attack that the USA doesn't care about is Soviets. You can crush them all you want and USA will remain at peace. It appears you did not realize that.
So let me know if you want to redo your J1 turn in order to keep USA at peace.

JohnnyCat

@trout OMG hahahaha

OK so let's just keep it but I will Choo Choo my dudes to a better place. back in 2

JohnnyCat

@trout OK best if you do it I guess. Just move those two suckers (inf and art) from Siam Land of Mystery to Kiangsi land of I dunno.

ANd I get it, USA is at war... ok well this time so sneaky sub attacks are gonna work haha

Trout
