I believe that game, i dont think you can take any of my VCs.

that’s ***

1. Watch for can openers in the form of airbases, and watch for mainland Japanese planes. When evaluating a fleet position, I literally check every single opposing plane.
2. If Egypt falls, main goal should be to take it back. If you could have gotten 2 factories in Iraq and Persia running, there was no way I would push through there or even hold Egypt in the long run.
3. I personally don’t like southern France as a landing because there is very little room to expand, and very little money to steal.
4. All of those extraneous early game purchases w/ Russia (1 tank, 3 mech which is 9 def and 4 casualties) could have been 6 inf (12 def and 6 casualties), and don’t be afraid to get turtled, as long as the UK has the middle east. Also, don’t take any risks with big stacks, don’t let them die unless you have no other way to save them. They can be built on to amplify their strength exponentially.
5. Main thing which i struggled with when playing the allies… have an objective or a goal. Make sure you know which side you’re going to try and kill first, and how you plan on doing it.
