When I played it was almost always with the same two people so I usually got stuck with Germany. I got to play the US once and that was a lot of fun.
Neutral countries
-
for the sake of asking, what all neutral territories does everyone take? there r 13, ill post my answer tonight when i actually have a board
-
I never take any nuetrals, its just a waste f IPCs
-
dont have a board to see clearly to make a valid argument but mongolia is a great place to capture, from there tanks can hit 12 different locations if im not mistaken, have to check for me until i get on tonight. that and spains good to take as the us bc they can afford the 3 ipcs, expand the area the germans have to defend while pulling resources back towards it. i dunno, works best if u have enough to hold and u just keep stockpiling bc then fighters have a place to land in europe although doesnt really matter if ya have an ac but thats another story all together. those r the only 2 i can see right off the top of my head but hey ill look tonight and hopefully have a better defense for mongolia and spain. bad thing is germans take spain they get gilb also
-
well I play Japan so my opinion is from that prespective and I dont take mongoli because by J2 I have sinking
-
again i dont have a map im here at the college but look at all the countries u can attack simultaneously w/ mongolia :wink:
-
not much point when I own all those countrys
-
As US, taking Spain can be an option to stretch out the german atlantic defenses.
-
i’ve taken spain in a good 1/4 - 1/3 of my allies games.
-
Spain - Good for getting troops into Europe if your short on transports.
Mongolia - Good for stretching the Russians out further.
Argentina - Connects to Brazil, scares Americans
Sweden - I’ve seen some germans retreat their Finland guys here with limited success
Switz - Japaneese IC can be useful. -
Switz - Japaneese IC can be useful.
But since Switzerland has no IPC’s at the beginning of the game, can Japan produce anything there?

Right from the rules…“New complexes on territories with no income values like Gib. or Soloman Islands or on neutral territories allow the introduction of one newly purchased item per turn.”
-
yup your right but what about one in sweden for japan
-
:lol:
-
Which neutral country is probably the most useless? I’d have to vote for Eire. What do you guys think?
-
I guess it’s only way to become useful is to have situation where Russia still stands, but the UK have fallen. Then it can serve as a landing area for US planes…… but that use is very limited.
-
Personally, when playing Germany i find taking Turkey as a benefitial thing. Sure it costs IPCs, but it puts the British in a terrible condition in the Mid East, and leading to a easy victory between Japan and Germany :D
-
the most usless? Id have to say afganistan
-
Turkey can be very good to take. Swden ca be a real nuissance for the Allies as they try to dislodge Germany from there.
-
spain is a great choice if you attak WE and spain the same time
-
Most useful: probly Spain or turkey
Least useful: Afghanistan (maybe Ireland)
