Curry Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 If more experienced players could answer this question. SHould the allies attack Denmark on the first turn if the axis does not? I am playing a game in which I am the allies and did attack Denmark on Turn one when the axis didnt. My thinking was that it deprived the axis of the plunder and also the experience for his ships. But was it foolish in that it put back the USA readiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yes it is a bit dangerous concering war-readiness. However if you think that you can wear down the germans quickly you could try it. Standard thing is not to do it. The race is long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 As the Allies do not DOW against Denmark if Axis doesn't on the first turn. You're rarely going to have the chance, but it's stupid. Yes, you deprive the Axis the plunder, but you did give them a corp & saved them time. 3-turns of ship experience is insignificant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Just a note here Rambo. There is no such thing as a 'corp'. If you were ever in the military you would know this. Whether singular or plural, it is 'corps'. See? Even "The Great One" needs a bit of military education from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narayan Sengupta Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Interesting idea. How would you pull of an invasion on T1? From the UK perhaps? Narayan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Trapp Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 An Allied seaside invasion of Denmark anytime is a bad idea for one reason: no ports, no supply. Your units would quickly run out of supplies and since theres no ports there would be no way for you to evacuate. All the Germans would have to do is wait for you to run out of supplies then attack, gaining experience for their airfleets and ground units. Lest we forget, the German Navy, assisted by the Luftwaffe, would engage any RN ships or transports around Denmark and chances are they would come out on top. All in all you would gain nothing by declaring war on or invadeing Denamrk.
