I’ve managed to get pretty good at playing Japan, but that is because I almost allways play Japan. I think I’ve played one game as the allies. My Skill with Japan has led be to be totaly inept at any other power however.
How much do the Axis help each other?

For me, I have seen great success with Japan acting as the main battle force. Germany can try to stem the tide of reinforcements to Moscow via Karelia/Archangelisk by first stacking in EEU creating a deadzone in KAR, and then moving up the stack to KAR (or WRUS if possible) to deadzone Arch.
With Germany preventing the UK/US reinforcements from arriving, and Japan holding Africa, it is only a matter of time before Japan overwhelms Russia.

Have you had success with this tactic to contain Allied reinforcements to Russia?
I think the Allied numbers and flexibility are too great for Germany to really stop.

I have, but what I haven’t figured out yet is whether or not the game was already “in the bag” for the axis before that point. Still fairly inexperienced at this Revised stuff…
