One way I've found success in G1 barbarossa is to do a strategic bombing of lenningrad and ukraine. Assuming both get a single hit at even just a 1 on either factory they are entirely out because of their +2 bombing bonus. On its own this allows germany some breathing room to advance a breakthrough force to the front. Now combine this with a gambit in vyborg where you bring the whole surface fleet to land an artillery and infantry in vyborg. What usually happens I've found is I lose a cruiser and take it. With a movement into finland now north of keningrad is taken and while it isn't quite surrounded yet it very much will feel like it to a soviet player. Cause if they counterattack either direction with a destroyed factory they are going to feel vulnerable. Now the most major downside is you are leaving UK's fleet. But honestly I've found if I take out transports G1 and maintain my air superiority I have just as good a chance of crippling the North Atlantic on G2.

Good rundown, thanks for the comments... attacking Russia turn one ain't all that crazy... it's just hard to control UK for the rest of the game.

My favorite G1 purchase is actually 7 artillery for 28 IPCs, saving 2. If you capture France, Normandy, Yugoslavia, Finland, and Bulgaria you have 72 for turn 2. I like to buy 12 tanks. On turn 3 everything is ready to slam Russia.

In G1, you should by a destroyer. And buying 12 tanks is not efficient. If you keep tanks fighting infantrymen, you will lose the game.

@@mwienzek You need pieces that will be able to hit Moscow on turn 6, so slow movers are not an option. You could buy mechs for a 33% discount but they are only 1s on offense. Tanks are the way to go.

How do you get to 72 ipc’s in G2? You start with 30 ipc, loose 5 for starting a war with soviet, so that’s 25, and then you add 5 ipc from NO for having Norway and denmark, that’s 30 again, and then you add the ipc values from captures. You barely make it past 40 ipc?
@elliotcohen7781 Жыл бұрын
@@markusberget2218 Don't declare war on Russia, which keeps the 5. You add Normandy, France, Yugoslavia, Finland, and Bulgaria. Those IPCs you pick up, plus the 2 you save on turn one, plus the 19 you get from capturing France's treasury will get you to 72 on turn 2. That's not an every turn number, since you won't get the bonus for capturing France every turn, but it allows the 12 tank purchase on turn 2. Me and my friends have played many many games. I've done this dozens of times.

It doesn’t- invading neutrals that are pro the other side has no effect on strict neutrals.

I dont think you can bring the tactical from Germany. Non combat movement ends before units placed, so the tac bomber wouldn't land on the carrier. Can you confirm the rule? Thanks.

You can break that rule if there is a carrier to be placed at the end of your turn
