I sometimes run into players who use this strategy…
as axis, they try to save up infantry for a few turns and keep it close to France and Karelia. Then when they have enough infantry to hold France, They stack as many units on Karelia and France as possible and try to score a VC victory by picking up Hawaii and finishing India around the same time. Their position at this point is a pure mess if they were forced to continue playing but they try to make it just hard enough to stop them from getting their one turn hold.
I wanted to know if anybody with more experience has a decent recipe for playing well against it. Is there any way to do it other than buying naval units for Hawaii? How do you play in Europe vs. this strategy?
Sorry if my question is too broad.
Thanks in advance.
How do i convince my mom to buy this?

I really want this, my friend has this game and I played an exclusive version with his uncle. How do i convince my mom? D:

Start by asking her to buy you Global 1940, the two-part game consisting of Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940. When she tells you that it’s too expensive, act disappointed and then say that you’ll settle for the much cheaper 1942 game.

:-D ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The master of strategy^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The strategy might not work, however, if Dynamite’s mom is sufficiently well-informed to know that the 1941 game is even cheaper than the 1942 game.

I think ill ask my dad, he is more into the war type of stuff. My mom seems to not care since i have D-Day

A&A isn’t like other games. What your mom should really understand is this game requires critical thinking along the lines of resource allocation (cost/benefit analysis) and evaluation of short-term gains vs. long term goals. Your ability to understand complex written rules, convey their meaning to others (speech and debate), and apply those rules to your benefit, will improve.
In addition, the game requires teamwork, patience, imagination, and commitment.
And if none of that convinces her, tell her that you understand and respect her decision, and that you’re sure the video games you will play instead will probably better prepare you for collage anyway.

Convince your mom by working for it. Go mow the lawn or something Earn it don’t expect it. ;) that’s my 2 cents.
