Thanks Tirano. The reason that I didn’t take Southern France on the first turn is because I want to disguise my trip to the Med. I want the UK to have to bite on Sealion and they won’t know that the Italians aren’t taking S. France until after they have taken their first turn. Other than slipping a couple of units into Northern Italy (which I try to do inconspicuously)I have given no indication at all that I’m going to the Med. I don’t need to put units on the complex in S. France right away anyway so it wasn’t necessary to have it on the first turn.
China Strategy

What is the general strategy for china? Usually it gets wiped out in our games unless the U.K. comes in early to help, but that leaves it vulnerable for the Japanese to take Calcutta. Any ideas on what is best to do as china?

Declare war on Japan on R1 and send mech units into it to help. You should be able to do this for at least 4 Turns. Even 2 units a Turn helps.
Some people DOW Japan as the UK on T2 and pile 10 Inf into Hunnan to keep the Burma Road open. All depends how close Japan is to India. Can always retreat the UK units.
Keeping India is obviously the most important factor, as you have mentioned. -
or you could pull everything back to Shensi and see what happens. Kill any Japanese ground units that you can.
