In China - what was the reason for taking the garrison as the loss instead of the Militia?

Movement points iirc.

The garrison, was in my humble opinion, in a hex more important to defend. Albeit more difficult.

But why I ask is because the Militia would have been available right away as a reinforcement since it takes only 1 turn to build. And currently there are no Nationalist Chinese that risk to be selected instead.

Anyway. The situation in China looks interesting.

Edit: I will get back to you on that.

Status: offline 		I didn't really consider the Allied land combat dice, because I think low odds Allied counter-attacks early in the game are quite ill-advised. They are usually more likely to advance the Axis timetable than restore the Allied position. Throw an 8, 9 or 10 and they look brilliant - for an impulse. Anything less and they are more of a benefit to the Bad Guys. The best Allied play early is to just stubbornly hold in front of the perceived Axis objectives with plenty of cheap infantry and anti-armor bonus units, and not picking up the attack dice. It's kinda boring, but Strategy should not be based on excitement.

The attack in Poland, should it succeed in getting all three Polish reinforcements on the board, was probably worth it, as with the attack in Algeria. Stalin should monitor Poland closely and move in to East Poland only when there is any risk of Warsaw falling before the end of the turn, and there are the most chits to pull from the USA pool, maybe you can lose a low one that way.

The most important luck is re: US Entry, then weather, then land combat and TRS hunting. I've seen a Fall Gelb give the USA an entry level of 30 vs. Euro-Axis at the end of 1939, more than once. So far the Axis have had the better luck in this game, though they probably don't think so.

I have just read it thanks. Shame as it would make this thread less useful - but I do understand (and agree with) the sentiment....

CW - Naval. Nothing to move in Poland, the ground strike against the CW in Belgium was unfortunate and well, not much else can move!

France - Combined to try and have another crack at the Baltic. Is it worth getting the French in Syria to sea for convoy defence purposes?

China - Land

USSR and USA - Combined.

Except the French cruisers are all disorganised

So if you don't need the French fleet in the Eastern Med then the French have no reason not to do a land. Then it becomes a case of how best to defend against the coming storm? A solid-ish line as strong as possible -or a defence in depth with a second row as now?

While CW needs a naval there is trouble with the Netherlands TRS. I can use it to load the Indian Corps in Aden. But it cannot return to Egypt. So then I need a land move to unload the Indian to Egypt.

Posts crossed

So could the TRS go to Malta and we rely on the Indian getting to Egypt next turn?

Just need to know - do you need the French help in the Eastern Med? Otherwise I will do a Land.

Good thinking. The fighter can be used to hunt partisans.
