Just played some 3 rounds against a player who did that.
Germany went very weak with a regular R1, ukraine won for soviets (1 tank remaining) And a very risky but succesful sz5 (baltic) attack.

This made uk take norway r1, and build in counter 3 destroyers+1 transport
R2 was allied mass in sz 12 (gibraltar). Germany never dared to attack.

Guess what? Bombing costed me around 10 IPCs total, but no bomber was lost on any raids.

This and many other experiences make me think that bombing is weak.  You risk 12, for 0 if you get hit; 0 for 3.5 if you don’t.
Not to mention that optional rule of escorts… which we don’t use anymore.

I knew I wasn’t going to keep the Caucasus from Russia.  The reason I left one Infantry unit behind was so they can still slowly grind and bog down the enemy.  I figured that I would be losing a lot of units trying to keep the Caucasus from Russia and those units would be better suited defending from a fixed fortress point in Eastern Europe.  Russia would run out of gas by the time they even get passed the defensive units in Eastern Europe and I will be able to counter-attack four territories that Russia gained.  Germany will be able to afford to trade land with Russia and in the mean time taking over new lands in Africa.  In the long run Germany will be able to hold out until either Russia runs out of units to even defend itself in which you than launch a huge counter-attack or Japan starts to make it’s run towards Moscow.  This German strategy can only work if Egypt can be secured on the first round and the Americans either A). Do not land in Algeria.  Or B). The invading American troops and taken out on the second turn.
