@Cornwallis You still need to have the US build a naval base in Mexico or Panama; otherwise the US can’t get its units from the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast Atlantic in one move.

I also don’t think the ‘unload in the Congo’ scheme works at all. The Congo borders Sea Zone 70, which is a minimum of 5 moves from any US departure point. Similarly, French Equatorial Africa is on Sea Zone 82, which is a minimum of 4 moves from any US departure point. The furthest to the southeast you can get in one naval move from anywhere in North America is just French West Africa, which is a lousy place to be unloading slow movers.

The Axis “Dark Skies” strategy of using subs and bombers to deny the Allies access to Sea Zone 91 (west of Gibraltar) is powerful, but I don’t think heading for sub-Saharan Africa is a reasonable or effective way of countering it. Instead, when you’re ready to have the US cross the Atlantic, I’d recommend building about 8 US fighters, flying them to Iceland, and from Iceland to both England and Scotland. The UK can build destroyers and one naked carrier in Sea Zone 109 (so 2 more US fighters can land there). If necessary the UK can also build a destroyer in SZ 110 to block any attack by a German Baltic Fleet. The resulting defensive stack will have 8 fighters, a carrier, and a couple of destroyers – more than enough to inflict unbearable losses against any plausible German heavy bomber force. Even if the Germans ‘win’ the resulting battle, they will be left without enough air force to take Moscow. If the Germans lose the battle or don’t take the bait, then you can follow up by building US transports, moving them to SZ 106 (Canada) and then SZ 109 (England). They can shuck back and forth between Canada and England until you’re ready for a landing; this is basically the historical Allied strategy.

@Witt I wouldn’t go so far to say that. The allies may have stabilized E Africa, but things are going to start popping in W Africa next round. It’s possible there may be a major sea battle in the Atlantic and that never happens in our games.

This has been a very challenging game for me, so I like that.

@FranceNeedsMorePower That’d be really cool! I’ve been wanting to replicate middle earth strategies and examine them myself. So far I’ve only been able to investigate general hand grenades.

@FranceNeedsMorePower game balance and fun choices are always the priority for me, so assuming the setup you choose (Oztea etc.) is well-balanced, then the Dutch setup would also have to include compensatory units for Japan so that they could always choose to just conduct the normal attack and expect to win the normal way— in which case we get to see the Dutch fight a [losing] battle, which was a main objective here— or maybe Japan chooses to do something ahistorical with those units instead, in which case now the Dutch get to hang out for a while looking glamorous.
