@The-General-0 A quick US liberation of London assumes the German navy and its transports have been eliminated.Italy can throw a wrench into the allies plans as well.
We have a house rule where the allies can only produce minor industries in foreign soil. I believe someone else has mentioned this as well. We also don’t give the Russians the 2 free infantry every round when at war. The game is much more balanced with these rules in place. Without these rules there is no way the axis can win against a good player as the allies.
Interesting about the American landings. Do you think the Italy first strategy would have gotten better results?
That would have worked better than the landings on France. Italy was earning some 30 IPCs and was preparing to defend S. Italy from the US (it was sending a DD to block the US fleet from moving into the Med) but the US could have gained access easy. Another thing that he should have done would be to force passage through the Danish Straits by taking Denmark with the UK then sending an US fleet through it. Then Norway would be impossible to take back (bye bye Sweden NO).
