Edwin P. Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Summary: Italian Naval Forces build experience by Bombarding Malta or Egypt while Italy masses transports in the Aegean Sea. Axis DOW Turkey and Lands a Corps on Turkish coast close to Istanbul. And the straits fall under Axis Control, meanwhile 2 experienced Italian Battleships and an Air Unit bombard the port of Istanbul down to 0 in one turn. Italian corps sale through the straits towards the coast of Southern Russia. Effect: Russian defenses are weakened as their defensive line is streached. With luck the Italians can land on the same turn that Germany DOW Russia. If not lucky they land a turn later, but Russia is forced to garrison southern Russia.

Bill101 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I once had the Axis attack Turkey at the same time as Russia. It was very frightening! Once the Axis have Turkey then Russia is virtually indefensible in the south, while in attempting to bolster up Turkey's defenses, the Russians weaken themselves in the Mother Country. It's a win-win situation for the Axis. If the Axis are bold enough to attempt this then they have a very good chance of winning. Turkey is a bit like Spain - it's very difficult for the allies to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
