CFC vs. Poly - WW2 Strat thread

I was thinking more along the lines of the US continuing to reserach towards nukes, but the UK reseraching Naval Tactics and sharing the tech to the Americans, for them to build. That small wonder would also benifit the UK.

Yes, only one ally needs the IA.

Battlefield Medicine would probably be more of a benefit to China than anyone else.

It might still be a good idea to turn the MGL into an army shell on your next turn, but leave it empty until you have the tech for medium tank. This would give you a chance to get another MGL.

[Theseus]

Yes, I'll have the IA in one more turn, IIRC. VERY IMPORTANT to circulate our joint gold supply!!!

I think I'd like to follow jon's suggestion, and post-Amphib War (also one turn) focus on getting to nukes.

T,
Do your best to get a spy into japan this turn, and then get the location of all his military. We will need to update this every so often, but knowing where he is now will be key to positioning ouselves to kill off his subs, carriers and transports/destroyers.

[Theseus]

Yes, first order of business.

Also, each of the three of you should let me know which if any cities you want me to investigate before each of my turns.

[Jon Shafer]

Screenshots.

The mob demands more screenshots!

[punkbass2000]

Yeah, this game has the potential to beatout the RealityPBEM.

[joncnunn]

Just knowing the size of his military will be a help.

[Theseus]

We had a bit of a slowdown... hopefully we are back on track. We'll start showing some screenies next turn, starting with me.

[Theseus]

Pounding the Japs in the northeast Pacific.

[Theseus]

Do you see what I see?

[vmxa1]

T I love that old looking carrier.

[Theseus]

That's the Japanese version in this scenario... the important thing is that all of their escorts (Cruisers and Destroyers) have been damaged to the point where the Carriers are on the top of the stack.

Go Hard Old Chap

take the Jappa down for the count

[joncnunn]

Looks like our Jap player slightly messed up ending movement six tiles from Seattle instead of seven. Glad you took advantage of it.

CV Ryujo was discovered hiding out in Rabaul, and I promptly attempted to sink it in their harbor. Unfortunately, she had at least one bomber on her, who took one of my bomber hits (binging it to 2/4?), the other was taken by the population, destroying the barracks. (Darn). The naval bombardment caused CV Ryujo (1/3) and its support destroyer (1/3) significant damage, but did not sink either of them. This shall be promptly remedied next turn.

Took back Donggala from the brutal Japanese invasion forces using a combination of naval bombardment, air bombardment, and just plain good luck. Am currently holding onto this until Paddy can send some units to reinforce, at which time we shall march away.

Lost a fighter to enemy fighter action outside Singapore.

Killed a 2 hp conscript outside Kuala.

Killed a 2 hp conscript outside Mandalay, but lost a 3 hp and a 2 hp infantry doing so. ƒ¼

I used about 1000 gold to purchase many things, including 2 aqueducts in high growth cities (giving me some good pop rush conscripts), 1 marine, 3 heavy bombers, 3 tanks, and a few other things. I am currently researching Naval Warfare, so I will use my GL on a Naval Academy to gain that +1 bonus on movement (and that 1 free destroyer every 12 turns will be nice as well). I dropped my science down to 20%, so I am gaining about 335 gpt and doing research in 9 turns. USA is missing oil (hopefully they can reconnect that source up north of Seattle) and China is missing rubber. I have only one of each, and I am doing builds on units that require both, so I didn¡¦t forward any (not sure if that particular cheat was allowed or not, so I didn¡¦t try it). I will be adjusting my research up soon, but wanted to get some gold ASAP.
