I’m not sure J2 is better than J3 - allowing USA into the war early trumps any benefit I see. I don’t care about taking India if I can keep them poor and busy fighting off my stream of cheap ground units, which also help keep my china income trickling in as long as possible. I do think G2 is the best time for Germany (I2/G3 close second best). However, even with a pretty fast barbarossa campaign like this one, they do stall eventually. In this game I would not be in such good shape without the Japan airforce doing the SBRs every turn. That is a huge contribution.
Long slow strategies like stready builds of inf/art, z100 transports, or transports from Southern france to middle east are just too slow.
Africa and middle east is definitely very important, but not so much because of Cow’s idea of USSR taking the African NO territories (Iraq yes, Central persia possibly). In lots of games Germany manages to kill Russia eventually but then UK is still so strong that fighting down through the middle east is long and painful. That is about the same time as US/UK are invading western Europe. A fast naval build and rush through Turkey could possibly seize Cairo in those games but so far I haven’t actually been able to pull that off that trick.
So for the allies, if they can stall the loss of Russia as long as possible and keep japan from getting out of hand (not so hard if Japan is helping in Europe), then what they need to focus on is holding Cairo so they can actually win the game quick when Russia falls. One thing I haven’t tried out yet is having Japan actually take Egypt and build an IC there. If they could do that and take out South Africa then all axis would have to worry about is killing Russia.
anyway, did you want to intercept?
Also, gotta refine this so I can get more planes to Moscow faster. � This can be done for sure through smarter buys and preplanned moves. � The 4 ftrs in the South Pacific definitely would have made it by round 7. �
American planes landing on your infantry stack in Korea might be the way to get them to Russia. That will work if Japan moves all air units down to Kwangsi for the typical india crush. The timing is good.

Yeah, I think I’m gonna try that in the next league game.
So then are you in agreement that the 18inf, 2AA go the way I plan it??? I would say yes. These series of moves along with the coordination of the Allies in the Pacific neutralize Japan and keep them out of Africa and the MiddleEast right??? It seems like it. If you move the 18inf to Moscow, sure your slow the German advance more but they get much more aid from Japan.
Also saw the Taranto raid along with the Brits building an IC in Cairo and holding- that’s a nice move, but you have to win in Taranto which I think the odds are for the Brits there too. I’m torn on which move is better…Taranto or Tobruk- both are playable but I’m leaning towards Taranto b/c I think it keeps Cairo in Allied hands longer…so it seems anyway.
BTW- no intercepts/scramble whatever.
Seems to me like Tobruk is preferable because then we can send the UK planes from Scotland to Russia on turn 2, unless they build 10 transports or whatever.
In one kind of India crush, all japanese planes are stacked on Kwangsi so they will be able to airstrike Burma on J2 and ensure the brits don’t liberate Shan state (landing spot for J3 attack on india). If Japan stacks all planes in Kwangsi on J1, then I would say do your 18 inf to Amur, then Korea, and while India is falling you can land US fighters in Korea on their way to Moscow (i.e. Russia gets US planes instead of the infantry).
On the other hand, if japan holds a bunch of air units back within range of Amur then don’t do it. That’s good because it means we can actually stack Burma and prevent the India crush. In that case the siberians can march on to Moscow and the US planes stay in Hawaii. India saved and Moscow gets its infantry.
If they go forward with india crush and you can get the 18 infantry to manchuria, it would be really nice if China has saved all its money instead of mobilizing cannon fodder elsewhere. That enormous soviet/chinese blob will guarantee japan never gets a VC win without Kiangsu.

Duh…just realized that my Brit planes couldn’t make it to Egypt which in turn was a wasted US turn. Just dice whipped there anyway.
I wanna still play on but with that blunder along with the France cash lotto I gave you I think its time to stop this one. This being one of my earlier games, I definitely learned from my mistakes. Without those 2 blunders Allies would be in very good shape.
I’m thinking for the Med, I like the Tobruk move, with naval blockers, build the IC in Egypt right away and send aircraft to protect it from Med and India maybe. This should solidify Cairo for a while. US protects Hawaii and Australia and maybe just goes all Europe from round 3 on. 18inf to Korea, US fighter shuck to Moscow. I see a good allied strategy coming together here. Just gotta hone it.
Yeah I agree. Either transport shuck to/from South Africa or IC if it looks like it can be defended. I would give Iraq to Russia but that’s it. Central Peria is too valuable as a possible IC site for UK later in the game if things go bad for USSR. the Africa NO thing is a pipedream. All USA has to do in the Pacific is keep hawaii and Sydney and keep Japan from getting beyond control; after that start working on Europe.
I think this axis Barbarossa is about as fast as can be reasonably expected and Moscow is falling round 8ish. The game becomes more and more allies-favourable after around round 10ish. After that Germany has to defend on all fronts (Norway, Normandy, Caucasus, Italy).
Good game, we’ll league it up next time- got 7 other games going now. :-)
