Losing as the Allies every time!

[groskopf]

My opponent parks ALL his German planes on Western Germany with the airbase. He wipes out France with Germany on the first round and wipes out Europe in the first round as well. His subs knock out everything just about leaving one British destroyer in the Atlantic. What is a good build order for the US and what can I do to counter all those planes as the British? Those planes are everywhere.

Are you playing with a bid? If so how much and where are you putting it?

Keep in mind that the Allies have a huge income advantage. The only way for the Axis to catch up is to attack into Russia, China, and India. Without a big push to expand, the income advantage for the Allies will eventually win them the game. Against an opponent who wants to turtle down and defend against attacks, purchase subs and planes. You can convoy read his economy nearly to zero and the combined attack will wipe out any fleet that he builds. With an even bigger income disadvantage, his days will be numbered.

If you are playing against more sophisticated players, check out opening moves in the Play Boardgames or League message boards.

Well that is a major issue right there. It is generally accepted the Axis have a major advantage in Global 1940 OOB. Bids of 30-50 are typical and I have seen them and played them higher than that.

Check out our Tutor Game below where there is a discussion of where the bid should go and why.
