I can’t say the best plans as Axis as I am usually USSR when I play but when you use the term Asymmetric Warfare, you do know that means when two armies that are not equal fight each other like a professional army vs a militia would be an example for Asymmetric Warfare.
Time for a change of strategies.

What are the Russian mass assaults and aggressive commies strats? And what are the orange cloud and blood waters Japanese strats?
Well the USSR one is basically obvious. In G40, there is NO way of getting around the fact that you have to mass infantry to stop Germany unless Germany did Sealion and failed.

I’ve been trying to put together a Burma strategy for the UK – like Middle Earth, but instead of going north to fight Germany or west to fight Italy, you go east to Yunnan and French Indochina. South Africa builds navy to keep the Japanese from casually raiding the Indian coast, and Persia / Iraq factories feed mech into southeast Asia. There’s not a huge amount of money there, but I suspect that if you can keep UK pacific at critical mass, and perhaps China as well, then you can rally enough of a coalition to contain and roll back Japan. It’s a compound interest thing…a few extra ipcs in the hands of China/ UK Pac on turn 3 means more allied troops on turn 4, which means a few more allied ipcs on turn 5, and so on.

Mass assaults w/ Infantry.
Aggressive Commies - Always on the offense
Orange cloud - Mass Airforce Attacks
Bloody waters - Nothin’ but carriers
-
Question about Bloody Waters, I am not sure what “nothing but carriers” is, do you mean the entire navy is carriers with fighters or you focus on carriers over larger surface ships so instead of battleships, go for carriers.
-
You tend to buy a lot of carriers to support your massive Air Force in the that you have at the start. After you have a large Majority on them, then turn to Submarines.
-
Interesting so the entire surface fleet is carriers backed by submarines. I am not sure the correct counter would be, maybe air force and cruisers?
-
If your opponent buys a lot of destroyers then this strategy my be screwed, but you if you scatter them, then it makes it harder for them to come for you.
-
Maybe pure Submarines might work too.
-
That’s something I’ve never thought about that…
Would annoy the Allies endlessly, I love it.
-
I call that the Kreigsmarine build, just crank out U-Boats.
-
I will try it next game I play, probably use it for Italy, since they need the Navy the most.
