![]() ![]() I know it’s hard to spare those planes with the massive German attacks against the Royal Navy, but it can pay off, especially for Italy.Īctually I like to have Italy take Southern France I1 and Normandy I2. Two less ships for the Italians to have to deal with plus if Germany takes Southern France on G1, you won’t get convoy raided. Send a couple of planes to take out the French CA/DD in SZ 93. That will be one less ship for the Brits to try clearing out the Med and one less ship for what’s left of the Italian fleet to take out. Send 2 subs to kill that British cruiser in SZ 91. After that, it will be slow for Italy but you should be able to put up a good fight against the UK.Ī couple of suggestions to help Italy from Germany round 1. With any luck, Italy can scoop in 20 IPCs. Use your Libyan forces to take Tunisia, your Ethiopian forces to take Sudan and Somaliland infantry to take Kenya. Use your remaining transport to move forces from N Italy and combine with Albania to take Greece. That way you get your Med NO and Italy sorely needs that income. Okay, if there are any UK ships left, plus there is probably still the French CA/DD in SZ 93, you should use what is left of your navy plus your bomber to try and kill the remaining Allied ships. Plus your 6 infantry in the capital, your land forces in N Italy and Albania still intact.įirst, does the UK have ANY ships left? or did they all die in the Taranto raid? Did the CA in SZ 91 help clear SZ 96? Or did you just have planes for that one? You probably lost your fighters in the Taranto raid but still have your bomber in N Italy. So, assuming UK hits you at Tobruk and Taranto, what you have left is CA, DD, SS and Transport in SZ 95, Infantry/Artillery in Libya, 2 Infantry 1 Artillery in Ethiopia and 1 Infantry in Italian Somaliland. Do they also wipe out your Tobruk force as well? That is one thing I like to do as UK. Plus, if they get lucky dice, they could be left with the carrier and some planes. Still, I know that a lot of UK players out there just LOVE to do the Taranto raid. I think it makes England too weak in the Med and Italy still has some navy left in SZ 95. Personally, when I play the UK, I don’t like doing the Taranto raid. Aside from doing that, and like ItIsILeClerc mentioned at least threatening Sealion, if your UK player is bound and determined to wipe out the Italian fleet, I don’t think there is much you can do. I am assuming that you send a German fighter to South Italy to help the Italians. The downside of all of this, is that the UK can stack London massively from UK1 and still do ‘Taranto’, thwarting all Germany can do about London with a fake, save a dedicated sea lion from the start (which involves the buying of at least a CV as well)… The best you can achieve is that your UK opponents will come to fear your German surprises in the future and protect/cower accordingly thus giving Italy some breathing space. ![]() In case of a SL fake, the UK is free to pursue Italy from then on. Germany cannot afford to ‘keep all the options open’ GE2. Your barbarossa will be a little less threatening but the UK should be much more cautious because Germany can punish any misstep.īy GE2 however, your plans will (and should) be crystal clear to every1. IT2 can raid the London AB so the UK cannot scramble GE3 (5/6 times, I know…).Īn interesting alternative is to buy nothing at all GE1, to leave all options open, thus forcing the UK to protect London. ![]() ![]() Make sure you can buy 10TRS GE2 and turn around your wehrmacht to punish. Lots of UK players leave London terribly weak after they think to be certain you are going after Russia. Similarly, you could fake Barbarossa and launch a nasty surprise attack on London if the UK goes into the mediterranean too strong. You could try to slip in 1 or 2 TRS in your GE1 build to make the UK cower in London because of fear (after all, you CAN go wild if the UK doesn’t prepare properly), hopefully limiting the damage to Barbarossa with only so few TRS built. As far as I know there isn’t a single SL fake that does NOT also hurt the axis options in defeating Russia. ![]()
