I’m in a pickle to say the least. Germany is almost about to take Moscow, Japan is planning something big for China and is getting close to ANZAC, and Italy is closing in on Africa? What do I do to help out?

RE: How do I get ahead for ANZAC/UK? Axis And Allies Global 1940 2nd Edition
Yep it worked! I was able to send 2 transports each with a infantry and artillery along with a destroyer, fighter and cruiser to help defend Gibraltar and Brazil. Once we clear the pacific, I am considering a factory there to help with Africa.

China obliterated and India/Moscow fall in 2 rounds
This is probably one of my worst games for Allies.
China is all taken by round 5, and japan is sending everything to India. I will say that Tokyo has a small navy, but it can scramble 3 fighters and I only have 2 US transports ready to invade Tokyo, which is heavily guarded. Japan controls all of the spice islands and the sea zones adjacent to India. They will do an amphibious assault on my depleted India any round now. I focused most of my ANZAC IPCs on an airforce, which is doing minor damage to the Japanese navy, and the US is taking the pacific islands, such as Iwo Jima and the Carolinas. I want to have a major attack on Japan but my lack of transports restricts me. I can liberate the Philippines, but Japan could easily delete it from their surrounding navy and their massive air force. I do have 3 full ACs, which luckily took 0 damage from all 6 kamikazes. I also managed to research super subs, so they have been helping with attacks and convoys.
The European board looks slightly better. The UK has full control of Africa, and the Mediterranean is fought over frequently. However Italy has about 18 IPCs who are causing problems in the Middle East, and they plan to flank India and the Caucuses. Novgorod will be attacked by a mountain of tanks, which will come for Moscow in a handful of rounds. I have tiny buffers in the surrounding territories, and I do have my own mountain of tanks and at least 10 infantry in Moscow, but all I can really do is build up and pray. I completely forgot to build up Stalingrad and it is currently empty, but the Axis will not reach it in 2 rounds. I did manage to take care of the german navy, and the US and UK have done a mini DDay on belgium, normandy, and Norway. However, with China being flattened and the spice islands all conquered, Japan is planning to send troops to flank Moscow through China. The far east Russians have been traveling back and if I can last 2-3 more rounds, I will get a fat reinforcement of infantry.
I don’t know what exactly to do now. I personally feel I’m putting the US all on the pacific, despite ANZAC having one of their best starts. Should I divert US IPCs more on Europe, and only focus on protecting Hawaii and ANZAC? ANZAC does control Brazil, and I am infamous for invading Rome with ANZAC, so should I also divert their attention, or just focus on being annoying? I also have a small UK navy and big UK airforce along with US bombers and tiny US transport groups, who have caused mayhem on the west, but Germany has a good player who balances defense and building a big bullet of planes and tanks for Russia
Italy does control the whole Balkan peninsula, so I cannot sneak in and steal some free pro-allied neutrals, but Egypt does have an operational factory. I also am a hot roller while the German player is the opposite, and the Italy/Japan player is average. So maybe that could help lol

Amphibious Assaults and Scrambling
In my game, France is invading Northern Italy from sea zone 95 with just a transport. Technically because there is no naval combat, and France isn’t invading Southern Italy, the Italian air force can’t scramble. Can Italy still scramble to “defend” against a transport that’s not invading southern Italy?

RE: How do I get ahead for ANZAC/UK? Axis And Allies Global 1940 2nd Edition
I completely forgot about this post but it ended wonderfully! I took Japan with the US and ANZAC, the UK, and the US all had gigantic fleets on the European front that went into Germany and Italy. After I liberated France, the Axis player surrendered.

Moscow has fallen, how do I recover?
So… Moscow has fallen to Germany. The axis player shot a bullet through my lines with 18 tanks and shredded my defenses. Now there is all these tanks in Moscow and scattered troops around Russia. The axis player lost Africa so I’ve been trying to get troops to go to Russia. How do I take back Moscow or devastate Germany?

We haven’t finished it yet, but that setback the axis and Germany had to old off on attacking Russia to liberate Italy.

RE: How do I get ahead for ANZAC/UK? Axis And Allies Global 1940 2nd Edition
We are in round 8 or 9, and the US is primarily focusing on attack Japan’s navy and supporting ANZAC. I sent my Air Force and smashed the Italian navy, and now Rome is wide open with just one AAA. I read about this strategy with ANZAC called The Brazilian and they are coming to flank Italy in Africa with tons of troops. Your strategies worked! Thank you, I will now reinforce South Africa and try and take Norway.
