Germany can try the old building 12 infantry a round deal and walking over corpses to Moscow. But that’s a one trick pony. You break their lines just once, and you’ve forced a 3 round retreat for them. (1 to retake whatever they lost, 1 to rebuild and 1 to move forward past where htey were before.)
the trick is to have england attack first. then America can attack the stack before it can be reinforced then, if necessary, russia can attack or reinforce America before Germany can even move again. Rebuild. do it again.
Get to Berlin before he can get to Moscow. Try not to loose Caucasus since he’ll then have an IC next to your capital, a nightmare but not impossible to recover from. And by all the gods of the dice, you have GOT to keep Japan reeling and advancing slowely! it’s possible!
I’m in a game right now where I’ve kept Russia at or above their starting income 7 rounds in a row. Meanwhile, Japan’s been thrown back wave after wave after wave for minimal losses by the Russians. (think this is the first round I’m actually in danger of loosing a tank.)
Of course, Germany has started her last desperate attack on Russia. Doing the old wave o infantry thing. But htat’s what you have Engish and American infantry for. get those transports going. Brition can dump 8 units a round into Karelia/Archangelsk or Finland/Norway every round. America should be at 8-12 a round either into Finland/Norway or Karelia/Archangelsk OR Ukraine/Caucasus by way of Africa. (that’s only 4-6 transports per set, 2 sets for America)
This isn’t that hard.
Also, read your opponents. If you think you can tie them up in worthless territories, do it. The Axis do not have the units to spare for arms races in out of the way fronts. (Ahem, like Egypt, Union of South Africa, etc.) If you can stage troops there and tie up their units, all the better.
