Bear in mind, the land units on the transport only act on their Turn.

Is it worth the wait if there is no DOW on T1? I prefer the IRAQ factory on T2 for UK as its much quicker to get reinforcements into Egypt from there.
Most Axis Players are probably going to wait till G3 to DOW against Russia; a few go on G2 amd rarely do you see a G1. If you are one of those Players that prefers to have Iraq as the UK instead of Russian then don’t wait for the Germany DOW.

My latest conclusion as a result of studying Andrew’s games: The Persian factory makes the likelihood of losing to 8 vcs in Europe increase dramatically. In fact, I would declare that strategy a no go zone against a good player. It helps with both a Pacific and Europe vc win. And it is just as good of an option, maybe better, than capturing Moscow.
If you bring a huge stack into Moscow, how many turns will it take you to get to India or Egypt. I think the only solution to Andrew’s play is a steady supply of mobiles running across N Africa to support the Middle East. With the possibility of invasion or raid ever present.

I don’t understand. Why not Persia? The Iraq-Egypt-South Africa minor industrial complex strategy worked very well.
-
Look at his games. You are buying factories for late game Germany.
-
Btw to put on the math hat, the Persia factory means Persia is worth 12+2+2=16 ipcs.

Hey All
Im running through a game in AAA with the AI turned off so I can try to hard counter my overall strategies as set out based of peoples recommendations.
The first result was a fight to the death in Finland. Germans won with the planes and a few troops left. This happened in round three. Maybe a bit too agressive from the Russians. They had previously sunk all german shps except the transport which had dumped quite a lot of reinforcements in Norway. The extra Bombers Germany bought to the fight tipped things in Germanies favour.
A round 4 sneak attack on India by Japan failed to take the British by surprise and was easilly fended off
Chinese kill stack holds Yunnan while British clear Burma and Siam.
Anzac has been busy while the Japanese fleet was off raiding India
Turn 5 and Russia is struggling to stop the Blitzkreig!
Italy hangs on in Africa
The Cavalry is on the Way!
UK have finished building the Egypt to Singapore Wall.
Overall the Germans are doing much better than expected and the Japs are doing worse than when I play the AI. Obviously the AI does make a lot of mistakes. The Japanese lost a lot of momentum with the failed attack on India. The Russians also lost a lot in their Norway adventure.
The question is now whether the British can save the Russians or the Chinese from being crushed.

2 transports & 4 planes? It’s 3x times that amount. See the J4 India crush in a recent playoff game: 2022-oob-playoffs-r1-andrewaagamer-x-vs-oysteilo-a-60(5).tsvg
