By 1943 Russia had 2-5 times as many tanks as germany on every front. 2-10 times as many planes. 2-5 times as many artillery pieces, and 2-5 times as many infantry units. Remember Germany had to send 15-20 % against the allies in the west. Norway, france, Homeland Germany, Denmark, and other occupied states, while as Russia had nearly all of its forces Against Germany since Japan was NEVER going to attack russia after it had previous battles against Russia and saw it was hopeless as well as Japan had its hands full against the other Allies. This is just Russia VS. Germany. The allies (UK, Canada, and US) had 10 times as many tanks as Germany and 10 times as many aircraft. Japan was equally screwed. US built over 100 Carriers in WW2. Japan had a total in the 20’s, but never at one time due to battle losses. The US built over 1,300 warships. Japan could never have handled this. No matter what you say the Axis had about a 5% chance to win WW2. this only if Moscow would have gotten taken, but if you read military history you will see that this probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway seeing as how Russia moved its factories back into Siberal in the Ural mountains region. Germany never could have taken Russia due to Russia’s huge size as well as huge manpower advantage, industrial advantage, only one front to deal with, and the fact that their front lines were in Russia meaning tanks and airplanes could drive and fly strait into the battle off the assembly line. While as Germany’s front lines in 1942 were far from Germany’s industry. If the game was ever played to history allies would win 98 percent of the time with two equally skilled players IMO. This is why the game is made to recreate history sort of, while being playable so that both sides have an equal chance of winning.
USA Alpha .2+
-
Left is Pacific, Right is Atlantic
-
For me it kinda depends on the situation.
-
60 for Warships in Pacific, 40 for transports in Europe. That way, the UK can protect the transports for landings, and the Pacific fleet can pin down the Japs.
-
I’ve not seen many reasons why the US would go in with anything less then 100% in the Pacific for a handful turns.
So more often than not, full Pacific -> contain Japan via navy -> start Europe. -
So then perhaps a better poll would be what round do you switch to European front as the US? It will be important to add that yes we all know all games are different, this is asking for an average. For my latest game US turned to the Atlantic on turn 7. After chasing off the Japanese fleet, then capturing and building an IC in Korea.

And what was the situation in Europe after that?

I like going for KGF strategy first. You can usually kill Germany and/or Italy before Japan does major damage to Russia.

I concur :roll:
-
The job of the US isn’t to win the game, it’s to STOP the Axis from winning the game and make sure the Allies don’t LOSE the game.
As long as the USA can keep the game going, in terms of turns, -usually-
You need to spend on both fronts, as required, with intelligent and mostly unscripted builds. It depends on the skill level of your allies, your overall comprehensive strategy, and the results of opening axis manuevers and attacks.
That said it’s also not what you build, but how you use what you already have. EVERY starting unit, by US 3, if at all possible, should be off of thier islands and the continent, and heading towards theatres where they can be effective. In a central and organized manner, including aa guns. IE Don’t build infantry, or transports, just to leave them sitting around.

Still to be decided, this game is not over yet. Germany has reached the German Soviet border and made sure to take and hold all german territories this past turn.(7) Italy has been bringing 3 turns of 4 trn loads to Syria, a large Italian army is present in Iraq/Persia/Npersia and Most of Germany’s navy is in the Caribbean protecting panama and putting a threat out on the US coast.
