Yes i agree. Ive played this game on triple a as the axis vs allies on easy AI, and it took me awhile to subdue usa (the only allied power left). I eventually did, just for the fun of it, (i think around turn47)(probably never going to do that again!) :-D But it took a painstakingly annoying lot of time and build up, even though axis controlled almost everithing. The japanese built a factory in brazil and just kept bombing the us, while germany built up ,took eastern canada, built a factory there, and eventually took Washington. With 63 fighters , 27tanks and 21 infantry, and 12 bombers. Then planes flew to canada, and a german tank took West usa and west canada on next turn by blitzing. The one thing i dont like about playing this game against AI,(i dont know about other ones yet, havent tried playing them), i had to built up a HUGE force as germany cuz i wanted to be sure to take usa. Because it seems like to me the computer is trying to “hack” almost every single roll for his favor when he ends up in a predicament :-), and i end up losing battles as the axis that i should have won guaranteed, were it a normal table board game. Having the computer roll for you, and rolling dice yourself is not the same thing :-D
Black_Elk's 1942.2 Strategy Guide - Edited Version

Black_Elk has asked me to share the now edited version of the above, which I am doing via this new thread so as to avoid it becoming lost four pages in to the existing one.
The size of the document was approximately halved (before recent additions) which will hopefully allow more engagement and suggestions from you all. I know Elk would appreciate your thoughts on how the current content might be usefully developed plus ideas for valuable additions.
(Also feel free to let me have any feedback as to where the edits should be revisited to put something back or further reduce the document. Elk himself has yet to review the sections on factory units and controlling the center - I struggled with the latter - and may want me to change something.)
The sections in blue are placeholders for possible future content.
Please find below the link to the Guide in Google Documents. I have not given editing rights to everyone as I do not understand the risks involved! - so please post your comments in this new thread.

I assume that as we enhance and develop this Guide the above link will hold true. We will find out together!
My thanks to Panther for pointing us at Google Documents and for helping me get to grips with it.
Cheers
