Bacon In A Wok posted:So why exactly did Glorious Nippon seek action in the Marshalls to begin with? It seems like their fleet was scattered across multiple zones, vulnerable to defeat in detail, and with key units lacking any kind of air support. Is there some sort of hidden gimmick in the combat system that could have done as much damage to the Americans if the dice results had somehow been swapped? UberJew posted:If they'd been the ones to get a ton of surprise points like that they could have made the combat a surface combat and ignored the planes RA Rx posted:I think they're trying to save oil and orders, and keep a reserve, by not placing out all their units (the US does so as well to a lesser degree, by virtue of having less carriers atm., both sides seem to be going for par by choosing combined impulses and using the remaining orders to shuttle troops around and attack China/Vladivostok/Australia and the Middle East respectively). And that invasion of Brisbane is going to help at least in the short term, as the US now has to base their subs at least one further sea zone away. The unit cuts off Allied supply to those ports further up the coast. If the USSR falls, going to have to immediately go into Japan or Italy. Turkey is also likely to become a pain in the rear end soon.

Isn't there anything in position to deal with the Brisbane Incident? Or have the ANZAC troops bit stripped out to fight the wars of the Briton, whilst the Brit sits comfortably at home?

A couple of adorable Russian divisions and a small Finnish garrison force were knife-fighting on the border to Murmansk. The Russians won and sent the 4-point division home and the 2-pointer invaded northern Finland. But over the last several months (or even a full year) a Finnish division has made its way north to challenge this syate of affairs as the 2-pointer has crawled its way south. Rest of the Finnish military is either occupying Norway with 1 chit (treachery!), on a Barbarossa expdition, or on the St. Petersburg border and iirc very rarely doing a naval patrol or air raid. I feel a bit bad about having to crush my neighboring country, but meh... One nuke minimum per axis country? RA Rx fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Sep 9, 2016 |

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but always forgot: What's the deal with building ships in two halves? Is it because the production tracker can only be so long and/or give the player the ability to abandon/halt expensive production? And how does the game keep track of half-produced ships on the playing field?

The production track is (was?) only 6 turns long, so capital ships take two rounds of six to be built. After the first half the ship is put into the construction pool, where the player can choose to build the second half at a later production step or let it sit half done. With shipyards in the game, this may be different now. This way after a year if you realize your BB-heavy portfolio needs to be changed to CVs and AMPHs or something, you can switch gears.Some Japanese BBs have a choice of being finished as a CV and I think you decide at the second cycle.

Admittedly weird seeing Tucachevsky's Headquarters given he was purged in 1939 during one of Stalin's paranoia fits.

Axis win initiative again. Let's hope for a good weather roll (if that is possible this time of your) and get a strong opening blow against the USSR. Also, fingers crossed for our Navy showing up.

Its March/April, so third worst of six turns if I got things right, but much better than winter. Should still be fairly gritty north of the arctic boundary though.

Axis deployed roughly 9 land units, 7.5 ships (15 halves, counting 2 convoys as one half), and 5 planes. Allied deployed roughly 14 land units, 12 ships, and 2 planes. Of note, the Axis air force and navy are generally heavier on fighters and subs over the more expensive Allied bombers and capital ships. If the USSR falls in 1942 the USA and Commonwealth are going to have to perform well, US gearing bonuses, allied shipyards and nuclear research sites notwithstanding. Current IP is 133 v 98, plus some shipyard imbalance, so maybe 145 v 105 (not dure how many shipyards, just rounded it out)? More like 150 v 107 with research sites, and then there's the unit pool imbalances which is bad for the Axis and otoh the distance of America. (Obviously it's been balanced, but that's mostly a good thing.) The most noticeable is how the allied have been ramping up the production of land units and the Axis have been spending more on the Atlantic wall in terms of planes and army units. The allies have and are obviously preparing for a potential fall of the Soviet Union, to prevent the loss of India and the Middle East. Also, recruitment is ramping up for the pacific. Will be interesting to see the degree to which Germany is planning to sacrifice Turkey. Iran I suspect is done for. I'm guessing Germany leaves behind some defense for the Baku oil fields and fucks off to conquer Stalingrad. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Sep 12, 2016 |

quote:2nd March, 1942. The Turks were given an offer by the Germans that finally had forced their hand: With an Axis victory, Germany and Italy would guarantee the following: -full control over the Thrace region of Greece -full control over Cyprus -joint German/Italian/Turkish naval bases in Crete and Sevastopol -control over Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and the Sinai up to the east bank of the Suez Canal -control over Soviet regions south of the Caucuses -full German military support to keep the Dardanelles and Bosphorus open to Axis shipping -full German military and economic support to achieve these goals With the German forces moving into the Caucuses, it was an offer the Turkish government couldn't refuse. The Axis had won over the Turks. will_colorado fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Wow, the Turks are serious business. Edit: Especially their land forces. I knew their stack was large for a minor power, but its over 37 points, and 48 with the reserves. Decent air force as well. Good luck to Wavell/brb on fire! Try to survive. At least now if we win we can finally partition Turkey down to its molecular components.
