Just need to know, if the U.S is not at war, are they allowed to move into allied territories i.e fighter from Philippines to Queensland or East Coast bomber to London?
You can buy a vinyl printout of the board from office max or staples, no idea how it works but I know its been done. Check out the axis and allies Facebook group and ask a question there, someone will definitely get back to you.
You should watch some of Adam’s Germany plans in League games. He has some nefarious orders including bringing the fleet around into the Med to prevent subs from convoy raiding. The small fleet is also sufficient to take Gibraltar on the journey there. Other people use a limited Axis fleet to convoy raid the UK.
After G1, focus on taking Moscow or heading to the oilfields. The time is ticking to get the Axis income close to the Allied income. I have seen too many people lose as Axis because Germany gets in a fleet building competition with the United States.
Another option, besides the CV buy, is to invest in bombers.
Do a strat. bomb on London G1 (with 2 bombers), and do another one with 2 + 2 on G2 (with a G1 buy of 2 bombers and whatever else your heart desires for 6 IPCs).
In my opinion, it’s the better option because once you’re through taking London, extra bombers are far more useful against the USSR than a carrier.
He meant to say that UK can declare war, as it always can, but the consequences (USA not stepping in) stay the same. Russian-japanese situation doesn’t influence UK.
