Newbie help

@arthur-bomber-harris

I play against myself.

@Moxin The axis do have an advantage, but when you’re just starting out you only need a bit of help as the Allies to win, 12 or 16 bid

Thank you again for all the helpful advice. You were right on my misstep with Germany building 10 units on Paris instead of 3. You also have good ideas about buying artillery, which I was thinking because you can combine them with infantry to get attack or defense at 2. And the United States targeting Norway/Denmark/Western Germany combined with bombers is helpful. Thanks again for all the great advice from such nice players; you guys are awesome.

@Marshmallow:

It would be even more effective if the US could spend its money to build bases on Allied territory, regardless of whether or not the US owned the territory.

For that matter, the US should also be able to produce units at the factories in France (as a whole) on its turn even after France (the territory) has been liberated. Historically, the US provided everything for the French army after the liberation of Paris – the French could not supply their own army at all after Paris was liberated.

Do what France did: surrender.
Seriously, buy Inf for UK, a factory  for Cairo if you feel brave and hit Italy hard as suggested by others. Cannot sit back and let Italy take the Med.
If Sealion works remember Russia will join the Allies and  come next, so they want to be on Germany’s borders to push through any weak spots.
We are all rooting for you: nasty Germans!

Thank you very much

Use the Japan crush of India coupled with a couple house rules:

1 - You cannot build industrial complexes, PERIOD in Africa or Europe. (Lets you build in the Pacific.  Ends the risk of 40 American Strat bombers in Norway crushing everything at will.)
2 - Germany gets 9 IPC to spend as they see fit before the start of the game; Italy gets 6 IPC. (Let them talk you down to 6 for Germany, 3 for Italy.)

That should evenup the odds a bit.

@Gargantua:

Europe 1950?

SWEET game Idea!  The Germans and Japs still going strong! Choppers and computer technology! Jet Fighters and Moon Missions! I love it!

What about the Italians? :roll:

Europe 1950 could also be cold war style
