Total World War: Strategy Guide

@redrum I think you forgot logistics for german tech. At least I think logistics is the most important tech at all.
-
@wirkey I added Logistics now though in 2.8 I don't prioritize it nearly as much as in 2.7. Trains tend to make the extra truck movement not as important as before. I also think less experienced players struggle to use trucks effectively so buffing air/land unit stats and getting free materials is better.
-
@redrum Not only trucks get +1 movements, trains too. And don't forget the scrambling from Carriers. Not that important for Germany/Russia, but it'S huge for the Pacific powers and UK trying to defend beachheads in France/Norway/North Africa
-
@wirkey I thought +1 train movement was in improved logistics?
And yeah logistics is key for Japan, UK, and USA for carrier scrambling. I have that in the USA tech priorities already.

no, simple logistics. I just tried it
-
@redrum I have different opinions on many points, but as I always loose against you, I'll better keep them to myself
-
@wirkey LOL. Well, maybe I'm just a bit lucky
Though glad to have a discussion around strategy regardless even if its a bit more advanced then what I'm putting in the guide.It appears you are correct on the trains. That might change my German strategy a bit. Though for this guide I think leaving logistics after the main land/air unit techs is probably best. Its still more of a nice to have and need to understand how to utilize trucks/trains well to take full advantage of the extra movement which most newer players struggle with.
-
Funny enough, I was going to suggest that logistics was a really important tech, but given that redrum always wins versus me I was quiet
-
Japan is posted. Soldier on!
-
At last... The UK is posted. Enjoy the light reading!
Probably will look to add some sections for general tips and such but I think its coming together pretty well.
-
looks solid; i'm a bit surprised at one thing though: do you really build 1-2 materials/turn in britain proper?
-
@zlefin Something around that though depends how quickly you can get a beachhead in Europe. Figure initially for another RC then often for a barracks in Southern Britain in the first few rounds. Mid game, hopefully an airport/barracks in Norway. Late game, depends if you focus Finland/France/Northern Germany/etc and what progress you're making. Probably on average per turn its closer to 1 material but some games it can be 1.5-2 per turn.
-
@redrum Looks good Red.
-
Re-ordered to have nations in the order they go each round. Added difficulty level. Only other section I'm thinking of adding is a Tips section for general tips around the various advanced rules. Any other suggestions?

I thank you so much for this effort! Very useful for a beginner!

@oigroig78 Of course. If you have any thoughts on other additions to the guide that would be useful or other feedback/questions just let me know.
