In our group, for some reason they always let me be ANZAC and the USA. I focus on Japan and usually eliminate them in 5-6 rounds with superior sea power, and a lot of lucky dice rolls. I have changed my buy strategy as well. Only needed ships, bombers, transports, and tanks. I don’t use a lot of infantry, but like to put them on conquered enemy territory. After Japan falls they war focuses on my forces in North Africa. There I build a huge army of tanks and bombers. Flying any bombers from the Pacific to the European theatre. I also send ANZAC to the Middle East and then Egypt. Takes a lot of rounds, but helps the war against Italy and Germany. For whatever reason my group cannot stop me

One of our house rules is that ANZAC can upgrade the industrial facilities to a 10. We all agreed that is was B.S. that ANZAC could not produce more units to help combat the Japs. In our latest game I drew the U.S. and ANZAC and built a minor in Iraq. Was able to old off the Italians in the Middle East, free Cairo, bail out Stalingrand, and fight into the Balkans. I sent a majority of units from Australia to India to Persia since my U.S. forces destroyed Japan in 5 rounds. So luck played a role in it.

My group has played global dozens of times, and every time except one France fell in the first round. The time Paris did not fall my friend who was playing as France had an incredible first role hitting on all dice.  Also the Germans did not send enough troops to destroy France. After a few rounds of combat all German forces were destroyed with a French Infantry and Fighter Plane all that remained.  By the time it was Italy’s turn for whatever reason they did not attack. The British had sent fighters to help defend, and then the French bought a bunch of Infantry to defend with. The next German turn however France fell.

Our group has played the World War I version three times with the allies winning all three. Now finally the CP look to have won. The RR was implemented and Paris fell. Is it over or does the CP need to conquer London or Rome?

I have played this game twice, and we have argued both times about if the Americans are allowed to move out of North America. So can you guys clear this up? Are US troops allowed to Ireland, Canada, or Britain or must they wait until war is declared to come Over There?

My group did a Cold War scenario. Our game ended just like the real war did. With the Soviet Union taking Berlin, and the UK and US taking Western Germany, France, and the Italy. The US and ANZAC had Japan occupied, and also had troops in Korea. So the Allies of UK, US, France, and ANZAC began a 2 front war on the Soviet Union. After another 6-7 rounds Moscow finally fell. The only thing we did not do was give the sides advanced tech. It was fun, and we made Winston Churchill and George Patton proud by taking out the dirty commies.

Can you mobilize in a capture capital? Right now in our game the Americans have captured Berlin, but there is large German-Austrian presence in Silesia. I would like an easy way to reinforce Berlin with Ally soldiers.

Very interesting in how other players approach this. When I am the USA or allies. I always split my buyings in half, and focus US attention in both theaters. Now there are times when the Pacific may require a battleship that the European theater does not, but usually if one gets a transport the other does as well. This works very well for me, and when I am the USA our group knows I usually win the war for the allies. Each their own I guess.

No once they load and unload that is consider a move for your units.

After staring this topic I has a bad roll later that evening. I emptied Western Germany into France minus the planes. I also sent 2 tanks from Holland. I decided to test the theory of eliminating a lot of the Royal Navy on G1 with the Luftwaffe. I also decided to send the remaining troops in Holland to Normandy. This was one without any losses. Back to the battle of France. I won, but was left with one tank to hold. I think I jinxed myself knowing we were playing that night after starting the topic, knowing it was my turn to be the Axis. :-D
