I agree, axis, however, the cost to Germany is 8 IPC in new material for 11 IPC in land (including Libya/Algeria.) That’s a net gain of 3 IPC. Not a bad trade for Germany. And, to top it off, England’s down 9 IPC once they lose Africa, that’s nearly 33% of their income. You can easily drive England into the homeless shelters between a STRONG African campaign with Germany and opportunistic strikes with Japan for the rest of their holdings.
Germany’s primary goal is Moscow
Germany’s secondary goal is reduce British income as much as possible, as fast as possible.
Japan’s primary goal is Moscow
Japan’s secondary goal is reduce British income as much as possible, as fast as possible.
Note how NEITHER is to attack or defend against America.
I’d also go so far as to say that one should ignore British units when Russian units are available to be attacked. The idea is to bleed the Russians as much as possible while conserving your own forces.
