I consider myself a highly advanced axis and Allies player. My experience includes 1941, 1942, and the first edition original.  I mention  this not because I  find myself wanting to brag, but in genuinely stand and went to articulate that this isn’t just because of some dumb noob mistakes. I am playing as the allies and I’m legitimately stamped onto how to win.

I am playing first edition….My dad plays as the axis  and find himself winning consistently. He dominates the pacific by taking Australia and NZ easily. Then he proceeds to take over most of Asia with Japan and all of Africa with Germany. This takes the allied economic advantage out of play. After taking over Africa, he turtles with Germany and is able to withstand the pressure until Japan is able to send plane reinforcements. Soon, Japan is knocking on Russia’s door or hitting an economic victory…what can I do? I’d love suggestions so I can respond and you guys can counter respond. Help anyone?

It isn’t Spring 1942.

Thanks for all the help! To everyone, I should have mentioned that we have the 1942 edition. Does Black Elk accommodate Russian strategy for that version? Do anyone else have any other suggestions for strategy with that additional knowledge in mind?

In this version, my friends and I have developed a strategy with Germany that establishes ultimate German supiority. German’s land and air forces dominate Russia in at most 4 turns while German IPC investment exclusively goes to submarines. Eventually, Germany takes Russian territory and gets a massive economic advantage on the U.S. Germany easily wins the battle in the Atlantic and the Allies can’t get Berlin, Rome,  or Paris.

What can be done to stop this?
