@Aaron_the_Warmonger Makes sense now (phew)… but hey, whatever people have different priorities and maybe there was a nice pub or something in Iceland the person enjoyed. Secure what you can right?
Haha anyways, the Japs are clearly doing good and yeah - either Moscow or Egypt. Even all of Africa. You can’t do much wrong. And yes, I now saw that stack of Italians in Western Germany - allies cancel Berlin OP. Europe is pretty secure. It will take some time but force them into big battles with the income they have, they’ll be forced to turtle like the Australians. Just a matter of time.

@Aaron_the_Warmonger Yeah, things will work out for you. Strange US fleet maneuvers. What’s that fleet doing near Iceland?

As difficult as it may be (looks like you got it covered) - and the US needs to use a turn to get within distance, best chance the allies have in Europe is for UK to take Denmark followed by the US taking Berlin in a can opener one-two punch. Probably only get one chance so hopefully the dice rolls are on your side. Japan: I don’t know what to do with them - after the assassination attempt in Germany, I’d shift absolutely everything into the Pacific and possibly bring Japan into a Pacific stalemate.

Looking good though,…

@simon33 Blast. Okay - thanks, yeah I am (likely) going by 1st edition - I got it a long time ago and going off the rules in the box. I’m out of touch with the newer editions.

That limits the options. Hmmm…but makes sense. Without it the allied USA objective in Europe would be Norway, Norway, Norway, every time.

Cheers

@Aaron_the_Warmonger Nice! The allies are in trouble - Japan is a monster! I’d suggest US making a move into Norway then Sweden (USA) followed by a major industrial complex - focus 100% on Europe for a few turns and see how it goes, capitalise on momentum and get the Russians on the offensive. It’s a desperation move to turn things around. Perhaps UK pulling the trigger on Turkey to spread the Axis focus?

I find buying 2 tanks per turn and the rest on infantry gives the Russians a lot of bite (minimum 8 tanks by t4, 12 by t6) for offense or defence.

Pull back, let Germany advance and extend their support lines (and split their air power from the west) then hit them with a few efficient raids to deplete their infantry. The key is to hit and retreat - and any expose the more expensive German tanks/artillery if they continue advancing, effectively bringing them to a halt.
