Thanks so much guys. I like all of your input and I will be sure to use them. Please also help me with my question in the recent “please help” section.
In the games a played it seemed that Japan could help the European Axis more by getting in positon to have enough victory cities on their side of the map than really pushing towards Russia. If Japan pushes to Russia then USA is free to keep spending in Europe. Maybe I will give this a try though with the newer edition of rules.
Ok I’d suggest not using this strategy. I got my ass handed to me. Didn’t help either that I was mildly intoxicated :-D. I ultimately only got 5 bombers to the UK. I was able to hold Egypt and the US bombers smashed the Italian fleet. I wasn’t able to put enough pressure on Western Europe and Russia got smashed. Also Japan carried out a successful Calcutta crush. It just takes to much time to setup a successful bombing campaign especially when Russia falls G6 or 7. I feel that Russia needs to build max infantry to stay alive as long as possible which I didn’t do even though I usually do build a ton of inf with Russia. Anyway it was a lost game but a good learning experience.
If the US is forced to split it’s income their could come a time where it could haved saved the day at Hawaii or get much needed support to a victory city in Europe but it’s hands will have been tied because of polictial rules and the Axis will win.
To be honest I don’t really want to win that way. I respect your position but I do disagree with it. I would love to see the Axis made a little stronger but I am actually feel pretty comfortable with the USA staying as is for the most part.
Keep in mind though, that in certain situations, when you have tactical bombers closeby, and no fighters, you’ll be happy you have that occasional tank :wink:
