Russia has issues. The best way I've solved them is to increase The Eastern ports to 250, ASAP, so you can refit out there. Meanwhile, improve Murmansk at least 3 times (and pray for Norway/Iceland). This added expense adds to Russian woes, but it's necessary. You will fight with inadequate portage ...

Two words: Build Abroad. Until you have 8k docks so you can build REAL light cruisers (able to outrun and take on any CL/CA/B in the game). The sooner you get your killer non-legacy fleet going, the better. You can build your "starter" 15.000-ton CAs in Britain. Get a couple of those in th...

BRITAIN (Cont.) War USA (allied with Russia), France allied with us. 10/10-6/11, 80 Prestige At Start. Coastal Defense: Losses: US:CL, +1 Prestige. Russia Joins USA. Spa.

Still hoping you will fix the Battles/Prestige tab so it can scroll so it doesn't top out. (I'd like to know what's going on after 1910.)

FWIW, I have had success by clearing the path, then going back to where the TRs are aimlessly hanging around and leading them towards the invasion site. This did not work for the infamous misdirected Sakalin invasion TRs, which were (are?) way too far south, but it worked for other invasions that ha...

BRITAIN Rebuilt Bs with secondaries, built sufficient KEs to handle while waiting for sloped deck and Harvey armor. As Britain, you want war with anyone. FIRST WAR: 24 Prestige At-Start. War with Rus (Fra threatening). 11/91-1/93. BATTLES: Russia Blockaded. Coastal Defense: Losses, Russia: CA, 3CL, ...

For the Britain game, I will include just a bit more detail on the battles, at least the ones where the losses are above the KE/TR level. The goal is to beat the old British score (233 Prestige). Britain is the only power that wants war immediately against just about any foe. The at-start US is help...

F//RANCE War with Britain 4/57-7/58, 216 Prestige. We were both allied with the US, which was nice, but it was good not to have to fight them. Britain was under blockade throughout. At a cost of one CA, France racked up 15 prestige in battle alone, 14 reps. Missiles rule. Prestige: 232. War, Italy. ...

FRANCE Fully missiled up. War with Italy, 2/50-6/51, 174 Pr3estige. Japan broke our alliance, joins Italy. US as our ally. invasion of Sardinia/+2 win, +2 win, Eretria invaded/taken (+!), +2 win, Japan attempted invasion of Marianas thwarted/+2 win,, +2, Sard falls. (+1), , USA joins vs. Italy., Inv...

War with Britain. 1/29-11/29. Lost my best BC, but won 5 prestige victories. Invaded/took Egypt. 10 reps. The right war at the right time. Building up a BC div. (supplemented with CAs, as necessary). War with Germany. end 5/34. Short and sweet, murderized the German capital fleet (+1CVL), but only m...

FRANCE War Italy/Russia. 1/08-3/09 (70 Prestige at start). Russia joins Italy and is blockaded. Most combat in the Med. with light, high-quality forces. War ends just as Spain is about to join against us and the US intervene on our side. No losses, whatever. 4 prestige victories, 5 reps+Rhodes. 76 P...

FRANCE Upgraded all Bs with many secondaries, built all in process. Yanking off useless primaries if possible. That was very effective, esp. against other Bs. No engine upgrades, just a lot of bang for the buck for a limited shelf life. These serve only until ~1900. War with Italy, 7/92-2/93, 2 big ...

Final war against France (1987/8), joined by Britain, who broke my blockade. We took a serious defeat and another more minor one, but came back strong. I had the US as ally, and Germany was very hostile with France, but before they could join, France sued for peace, coughing up 4 more reps. We almos...

War with Russia (1962). 3 prestige wins. This time I could afford to send a troop out east, where we did well. But the diplomats got outfoxed and we only got minor concessions. Continuing the missile rebuild; we have a strong enough air arm as it is.

Status: Apr. 1963, 244 Prestige.

Was largely missiled up (stage 1) when the next war (1948-50) broke out with Russia. They were unwilling to press things, but we won a couple of prestige victories and took 12 in reps. Next war was with Britain (1955-58), after I had installed 8SSMs+reloads on several divs and 4+reloads on most of t...

It seems to have been fixed. You can now freely assign CAs to BC divs. That fixes the problem.

Good going. I built a nice BC in a Spain game and wound up scrapping it because it was just hanging out there. That problem no longer exists.

Italian fleet frantically upgrades, and the Next War is against Russia (1938/9), which mostly cowered and refused to engage. Couple prestige wins and 12 in reps were helpful to base economy. More building, then a war with France 1942/43. This was a quite productive war, although I didn't make any in...
