Blitzkrieg PBEM (Playtest)

[Nilat]

I would want to talk about the house rule that you cant land bombers on carriers.
it isnt so good cause I cant get any bombers away from the pacific islands... And its hard for England in the pacific and VERY hard for the axis to attack america! And of course its hard for america to attack europe, cause the tanks are not good...

And again:

Dont listen to my stupid requests

[Eivind IV]

It's a part of the game, mate!

[Nilat]

btw, is it part of the game that tanks are nearly useless?

Well, you need tanks in order to blitz. But you can't blitz without coordinated attacks with your airforce. Hence the name Blitzkrieg . Some civs will get better tanks as time goes by. The tanks are the only units with high enough movement to blitz. And only tanks can take out tanks, exept for planes.

In ww2 heavy bomber couldn't land on carriers, so that's why I added the house rule. Again, the players decide which house rules to use.

It's supposed to be hard for England in the Pacific. Remember the giant distances and that protectiong the home island is maybe alittle bit more important than ****ty pacific islands.

If you want to succeed with USA, you will have to establish a foothold on a airfield. From here you can bomb the Axis. Or maybe convince the English to hand you a city to build up your forces.

Brits Turn 1!

N.Africa
The British has succesfully launched a counter attack against the Benghazi area, which lead to large Germany Casualties, the Desert Fox lost a large part of its Air Force and Panzer Force, with only 1 Panzer Division remaining in the area guarding Benghazi.
Churchill said about the fall of Malta. "The Brave people of malta, which had to stand against a overwhelming force, fought bravely for the empire, we promise you on the island Malta, We will be back!"

Britain
The brave RAF made counter attacks against Luftwaffen, which lead to the destruction of several German Aircraft. Over 150 German Pilots were taken POW. And over 250 German Aircrafts has been shoot down(2 units )

[EmuGod]

Just bringing this thread to the top.....

[Nilat]

Yeah, cause it looked like jim forgot this pbem

[Eivind IV]

Looking forward seeing this continued

[jim panse]

I haven´t forgot about this PBEM, I was out of town the last days, sorry for leeting you wait.

Anyway, here´s my turn: I tried to fight the german juggernaut but with these weapons ...... I do not understand why a Panzer III can knock out my KV Heavy tanks but anyway. Victory will be mine. Comrade I. Stalin, Moscow.

You should have seen how useless tanks are against infantry. In singleplayer, one infantry can successfully defend against 3 tanks without taking damage.

Well, you have to understand that Kobra hasnt done a scen before! Isnt it my turn?
