4th Bn 66th Reg Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The supply situation for the Axis in Africa is so bad that unless you take Malta, it doesn't appear to make any sense to send Axis forces to Africa. The British start off the war with 1 in Anti aircraft, under this new Gold game the AA guns seem to have too much of an edge against aircraft. Should the Axis still go after taking Malta with this new Gold version? We also have the added effect that the allied unit could upgrade the unit AA. This would seem to make it very costly to try to take Malta. Thoughts from the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategiclayabout Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hello 4th Bn 66th Reg ^^ , Don't forget you can use a railgun to soften up target before sending in planes. A couple of german tac bombers + italian regia aeronautica should be enough. Remember that any unit in Malta doesn't have full supply or HQ support = low morale. You can also use lesser units as amphibious vanguards (lower cost) to deentrench or confuse Royal Navy. But whatever you do, there will be a cost. Better take Spain/Gibraltar before to isolate Med.

lhughes41 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Africa can still be taken by the Germans without Malta. But the advise on taking Malta is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategiclayabout Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yep, if you're quick enough, you can storm Egypt but if you fail you'll be in trouble . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Egypt can be had with limited forces. Couple Panzers & air support will do the trick. Place some Rockets in Sicily for some fun, maybe some Air, great training material. -Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
