Axis = When 1 falls, the other 2 follow?

These answers are correct.

@Fighter:

other people probably have more experience and insight into this than i,

You are correct  :-)

Thanks Krieghund, glad to have the cold hard facts on the matter.

Good observation locke, you got a FAQ entry.

where’s ‘out here’?

I believe the Italians don’t own that territory because by that point in the war Britian had already re-claimed it.

Local hobby shop finally got its delivery! Going to pick it up tomorrow!!!

@Imperious:

Larry has stated many times that the units don’t generally fit standard military models for classic formations (divisions, corps, army) and in some cases these are corps and others they are armies. They are not the same in every case, allowing for the corps in Africa to be symbolized as perhaps 2-3 units, while in the Soviet union one infantry may represent an army ( 3-5 corps).

Yes, IL thanks,
I have been reading those old posts.  I note he (Larry Harris) stated the Naval units abstraction was a greater dilution of unit strength, or a direct correlation to vessel numbers from standard representation of Classic fleet/squadron/Battle groups.  I am thinking more in chess terms, where tempo or position is sometimes of more value then individual pieces.

@Nukchebi0:

To be honest, this is why bids are not needed in an FTF game with five people. The Allies are much less organized and thus less effective.

I agree
