Veqryn,
Well, its simple.  There really are two strategies…  the GERMAN HAMMER and anything else.

The GERMAN HAMMER has two versions, attack Belorussia on turn 4 or turn 5 with everything that can reach.

The first 1 or 2 rounds you buy all infantry (with an odd artillery) and the next two rounds you buy all armor.

The first turn you destroy as many russian pieces as possible.  retreat all units to the east.  abandon france.  From the second turn onwards, consolidate all units in East Poland for a massive strike on Belorussia on turn 4 or 5- with a followup on Moscow on turn 5 or 6.  In the end, only two territories matter, Berlin and Moscow.  After two rounds of armor buys, buy all infantry to defend berlin.

The uk/usa must send aid to russia for that showdown in belorussia on turn 4 or 5.  Probably will be lots of air.  There isn’t much else they can do to slow germany down.  Russia has to be aggressive and has to try to get as many units in belorussia.

In the end, barring bad dice, germany wins most of the time with the GERMAN HAMMER strat.

I don’t see how you can take Hawaii turn one… you have no transports within 2 spaces!  Or do naval bases not work the same as in the old pacific?

Anyone in the NY capital region?
