- BUT I WILL attack transports. That buys me until turn 4 for the Allied
- invasion. 8-10 I in W Europe is tough to get around.
- More(10-15 "2's")in Germany.
- PLUS flak and fighters there, if any.
-
- You make a mistake in your logic by assuming that I will not do suicide runs
- to weaken or delay the Allied plans. If I do it enough, I will allow Japan
- to walk in Russia(figure Japan attack with str 90-100+ on turn 5).
-
- I win almost all of the time playing this way, when the Russia no-attack rule
- is used. I go defensive on Germany(sorta-still pound Russia), and since I
- get as much if not more IPC's in Africa than I loose in Europe, I can do it
- for a LONG time.(start loosing IPC on turn 4) Over 40IPC for the first 2-3
- turns, also.
- Then Japan walks in...
- Works very well.
