i think the main mistake, which I’ve done myself before, was not going after France immediately. It’s too tempting to spend elsewhere when you start with so much. However, as you’ve seen, the Allies can really tighten it up fast if you give them the opportunity.

Germany needs an “all-in” purchase the first round, of which everything goes after Paris. Tanks, armored cars. Then do a judgement round 2 if France/Britain put up enough of a fight that you need some mechs or planes to even the odds.

Past turn 2, then it’s all out against Russia. You’re doing well against Russia, and Yamamoto has made progress against the US, but with that additional 50 French dollars, my hope is that Italy won’t be able to capitalize on their MED victory over the British fleet.
