I guess you didn’t watch the videos. I cover loss of NO and many other consequences of turn one neutral hit.
One thing I did as Axis is not declare war on Russia to keep the free infantry out of Russia as long as possible.
I also didn’t place a warship in 125 to give Russia choice of $5 or allied units on its soil.
Playing solo I passed on the $5 but I know some people would go for $5
I just made final recap video for Operation Felix with Allies conceding on US8

Not making vids for every single country really speeds things up as this game completed in two weeks instead of one month
@surfer said in Ideas on a counter?:
@Cornwallis Gibastion. Make a fortress at Gibraltar with the fleet and (typically) an airbase.
Prevents Sealion because you can get back to UK as a block and all those transports can’t do anything.
Prevents Italian NO.
Protects Egypt as the Italians can’t go without the UK Med fleet stomping them.It will eventually link with the US and ferry troops across.
I just developed a counter strategy to Gibastion for the Axis.
Algerian Snake barely works and cripples Italy for the game and Germany loses bombers finishing up the maneuver.
Operation Felix flips Gibastion on its head and guarantees a super easy Sea Lion as well as a fortress in both Spain and Gibraltar to block USA from coming right in.
You can spare trns to take Eire and Scotland to deny landing spots for American bombers. And London becomes a fortress too with 11 trns ready to shuck inf to London when America comes calling.

I played Italy and to a lesser extent Germany so badly trying out this strat but it still worked as planned. I learned from all of my mistakes so next time doing this strat should be much much better I believe.
I decided to have America go right to liberate London but because of the large amount of units Germany had in London had to spend a few turns building up fleet and enough trns to credibly take London back. That was turn 8. In hindsight, America should have abandoned Europe and gone right for the Pacific. (although prior game, America abandoned Europe to go for Pacific and it ended very badly for the allies so I decided to go London this game… also to a disaster lol)
@The-Farmer Italy attacked Spain I1 so Syrian stepped in to get 8 free inf
I know US makes a lot of money but risking bombers to take out destroyers that are being replaced every turn seems like it could have some drawbacks
