The most effective allied strategy is to KGF. For this main reason, Germany should fatten up and not lose the war by ensuring many infantry as part of their buys. Japan will be unstoppable by round 5 (at the latest) since There is no good way to slow Japan enough that really makes a difference. Japan can even fly a ftr or two to Europe to help keep the allies off Fortress Europe.
Options for Russia when Germany plays defensively
-
I was wondering what some of you who have been playing a lot as the Allies like to do with Russia in response to a mostly German infantry build on G1. It seems to me that this would allow Russia to help out more in Asia or Africa and limit the Axis income greatly. I pondered a 5 submarine build in Caucasus to help destroy the Italian navy on turn 2 but then remembered that they are limited to 4 units in Caucasus, which reduces the odds of success. Any ideas or things that you have actually tried that ended with success?

On G1 if they go infantry, then on R1, I’m going 6 armor.

Germany going heavy infantry round 1 seems to be pretty standard regardless of what plan they have decided to pursue. Actually, with 31 IPC, it’s pretty common to see 9 Infantry, Artillery on Germany 1 because many players, myself included, ascribe to the philosophy that Germany should endeavor to produce 10 units a round, every round.
Russia, meanwhile, can produce 12 units a round, but rarely has the cash to do so.
If Germany, on round 2, seems to be going defensive play, then I call this a German player who is ripping his own testicles off and wondering why he can’t get a woman pregnant. However, if they do go defensive, then Russia should start by building up artillery for trading territories as well as armor.
Generally speaking, if Germany went conservative, I like to see Russia in Poland/Czeck by the end of Russia 4 latest, with round 5 or 6 seeing large stacks preventing Germany from trading anymore. (Russia should have +15 from NOs by this point, Germany +0 since Bulgaria would be out of range for Liberation and thus, the Europe NO is lost.)

I’d probably go for a surge into china while holding the line against Germany. Never seen this before though so I don’t know for sure, usually Russia just gets beat on while US/UK try to get something going. My usual Russian strat is kill as many German and Japanese units as possible.
