Axis and Allies Europe and Pacific

@djmotified lets go to PM. sending you a PM

@Conni_Hu Because you asked for a non-specific answer:

Overview: You need to make a beeline for Moscow ASAP, but also make sure to scoop up Leningrad along the way, as it is the main point the Western Allies will attempt to land in to reinforce the Soviets. Making any effort to attack southern Russia or North Africa (beyond just using the units you began the game with in those areas) is ill-advised, as capturing Moscow will effectively end the game due to the USSR no longer being able to collect income or field an army.

Round 1: Attack East Poland and Baltic States with everything that can reach. More should go to Baltic States.
Round 2: Attack Belorussia and Leningrad with everything that can reach. Most of your troops should go to Belorussia.
Round 3: Attack Moscow with everything that can reach.

What you do in other areas of the map is outside of the scope of your question, but you should be taking steps to slow down the USA/UK Navies.

If this answer is too in-depth for you, I apologize. Please refer to just the “overview” for the shortest possible explanation.

@Bob77:

Thats cwo mark, not me

doh!  :-P

I noticed it was your first post after I answered:
Welcome!

We all love 1940 here, so glad you are playing it.

Thats awesome!  Glad I could help.  I definitely agree, having an AC in the Atlantic really brings a new dimension to the game, instead of having 20 DD scattered throughout the board.  That Canadian IC is really useful in the early stages of an AAE game.

OK, you got the allies. I’ll get Germany. I’ll put 1 sub at Hallifax Sea, 1 art at Finland. I’ll make a thread in Games Progress subforum.

Note: I’m posting this at 3 pm spanish hour

If you are Germany, and intend to have a naval force operating in the WMed or SAtlantic, then you can forestall Allied use of fighters against this fleet by stationing inf in Gibraltar.

Perhaps also by taking Gibraltar early on, you give Allies the impression you will be striking out into S Atlantic. Thus they may devote some energy & material in that direction; could be a reasonably good low-price diversion.

Of course, after 99 years you will have a messy political referendum on your hand as Spain presses for “reunification” of its former possession. Ach du lieber!

I increaase the size of my map using photo shop. I forget the actual size, but it was about six feet long. I then divided up some of the land and sea units into smaller units. This will increase game play and the time. I did all this in photo shop. I then burnt it to CD and to it to Kinkos. They have a supper large color printer. I printed the whole thing and they laminated it to. Of course it cost me about $40 bucks, but it was worth it. I know have a real clean and clear color map with almost 1/2 more spaces and is 6 feet long by 4 feet (i think) and is laminated. I can use a dry erase pen on it if I want to and roll it up and take it anywhere. I also use a 6 large page claps (you can get them at any office supply store) and clap it to any table.
This is the only way to go!!!
You could make all kinds of maps.
