I like buying a carrier first round with Germany. If UK builds a factory in cairo then he also has to kill the fleet in 97. If he does both of these then London is very light and I would probably build 9 transports with Germany to take UK. Once Uk is gone on T3, which is almost a 100% if UK attacked 97, 96, and bought the IC first turn, then Italy is free to take Cairo and get the IC in Egypt. Italy for the rest of the game would be making 30+. All you have to do is make sure you leave enough Units on Uk that US can’t liberate. Yes, Russia will be making a lot of money at this point, but only for a turn or two. Then you get her back down into the 35 range. Italy will soon be pressuring russia the Caucus region, and US won’t have many places that he can go besides norway. I think if Germany builds navy it is safer to wait till R2 to build the factory in Egypt. I also build a factory in persia R2 with UK. Use transport off egypt to pick man up and take persia R1.
Sub question…(edit: wrong place to ask - sorry)
-
In a current game, the USA has a lone sub sitting in the seazone by Japan. Japan places a new destroyer in the same zone as the USA sub during its turn. Does the USA have to move its sub during its combat phase or can the sub just sit there with the DD and do nothing?

Hi Der Kuenstler.
The US must attack the DD or else move out of the SZ in the Combat Move Phase. -
K thanks!
