In round 3 you're trading lots of German territory but the sea zones are quite vulnerable to German air attack. Is this strategy not severely hampered if a player is able to wipe out the British navy here or the ships in the med? I guess it will be costly for Germany to replace fighters and it will make it harder for Germany to trade efficiently if the air force is distracted.

How do you decide between the US attacking the Med versus Norway and Finland?
@konstan652 жыл бұрын
I send enough units south to trade, typically 2-3 transport loads of units each turn. Excess units are sent to finland to build a long term stack. Norway is taken US2 in most games.

@timcorcoran44123 жыл бұрын
Hi Quintin. Thank you for the video, it is very informative. I wanted to ask you about your thought process regarding defending your different allied fleet groups. It looks like Germany has 5 fighters and 2 bombers which could hit one of your fleet positions and may have odds to win while probably losing 3-5 fighters depending on which fleet G attacks. Is part of the Med Shuck strategy to almost dare G to attack one of the fleet positions to lose fighters making it even more difficult to trade territories because buying new fighters is expensive and you cannot replenish the inf needed to retake territories?
@konstan653 жыл бұрын
Yeah you're right. G is being pressured and can only take efficient trades or risk collapsing. A big trade generally favors allies, even if it is in the negative (up to a point). Attacking the boats also has an opportunity cost of not being able to trade all the provinces efficiently. This means that allies can comfortably offer 60% odds on one of the stacks, provided you dont have all your transports in that one SZ. If G hit the US italy stack for example, it wouldnt stop units from landing next turn. Any protection above the point where attacking would be bad for G is wasted IPCs.
@Checkmate543212 жыл бұрын
@@konstan65 I think this is where Ive been going wrong with my attempts at a Med shuck. Im always trying to keep my fleets safe above 80% or so. But by doing that i'm too slow getting moving, waiting on more defensive fleets. I'll try shooting for around 60% and see how it goes!

I've recently run into the same situation with Ukraine. No AA gun for Russia there though. I went 7 infantry and 3 fighters into Ukraine. I killed all but 1 tank and only lost only 1 infantry (Russia lost 22 IPC there vs my 3). Instead of pursuing and losing my entire stack of remaining infantry to the counter attack, I retreated into Belorussia landing and moving all troops up there to defend. Set me up very nicely for a guarantee to take Karelia or push him out of West Russia next turn.
