wilhelmshaven Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Ok I think that I've just about got it I hope, but a couple of questions remain: How do you capture Malta? Why or how is it possible to reinforce units in enemy territory, ie German or Italian units in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwin P. Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Malta - usually I bomb it with surface ships until the unt is so weakened that an air unit will destroy it. Then make an amphibious landing into the empty square. Reinforce Units in Enemy Territory - Make sure that they are supplied by a HQ unit (ie an HQ unit supplies the 5 closest land or air units).

Sombra Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 If the Allies are stupid enough to defend Malta. AF defends: Move the sub our of sight range and drain the MPs for MAlta. Move 1-2 Af+HQ to Italy and attack every round once the Port of Malta forcing the AF to intercept => Expereince for AF will build up and huge drain on GB resources IF the stay at strengh 4 attack with the ships when you are fed up afterwards bomb himout with the AFs (better to wait for JT1 or JT2 to do it) If a corps defends Malta. Super free training ground for your italian fleet. If you wanted to have 4 Star ships that is your chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feldtrompeter Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi Wilhelmshaven Sombra has answered Malta already: Attack with an air unit not the Island itself but the port and force the GB air to intercept. Then you may also send the Italian navy to reduce the entrenchment of the Malta defender and finish him off with maybe another airfleet. Why can Germany reinforce her units in France? Cities and HQ serve as a center of supply in SC. A city that has a supply level of 10 can provide all units within a range of four hexes away with maximum supply - if there is a direct connection from city to the unit. So the German city Essen is able to provide max. supply to axis units four hexes deep into France. Now, a HQ is a flexible suply center. If a HQ is not more than nine hexes away from a 10-level city it has a supply level of 10, which means that units within four hexes away from the HQ also get max supply although no 10-level city is nearby. So it is very hard for an experienced axis commander to ever have a unit out of supply in France ...

Feldtrompeter Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 And how is it possible to reinforce axis units in France? Right click on a unit and choose to reinforce. If the unit has at least a supply of 6 you can reinforce up to max strength. If the supply is five or lower you'll get a penalty for not having your unit sufficiently supplied and you cannot fully reinforce to max strength.
