Allies always lose

[HBG]

How do you stop the German onslaught and the powerful Japan in the 1941 scenario?
I can never get the help to Russia and I cannot stop Japan coming from the East?
What do you typically buy for Russia?
How do the Allies best help Russia?

You cannot if axis plays properly

My advices (pick any combo of them):

• Play without NOs
• Play 1942 scenario
• Mod China so they can survive J1
• Mod China to a fully normal playable power (delete invisible walls and such)
• Delete at least 2 starting jap trannies in 41 scenario
• Give UK a free IC at India before starting

I agree with that it is difficult to win as the allies in 41 set-up.

A couple of things I have done that may help:

• Buy tanks with Russia on the first few turns with a couple of men as you can afford.
• Try to get a plane or two going as well as Russia needs to build an attack force.
• Always leave one man on your front line so Germany has limited pieces to kill.
• Always take back what Germany captures if possible but do not leave your attack pieces exposed for counter attack. Must recapture adjacent countries to Moscow at all costs.
• UK should take out Findland for Russia so that back door is closed.
• UK can also hit Poland or actually put men in Karelia. (Russia looses the NO bonus so make sure it is lots of UK guys to be worth it.)
• US should go at Japan but should try to get at least a transport or two in the Atlantic going over to Africa if possible.
• Take out Italy fleet as soon as possible to take back control of the Med.

These are some suggestions that have worked for me. Hope this helps. 8-)
