I believe this game exists.  It’s called East & West.

A further complication on calculating the required German defense of France vs the UK 1 - US 2. Do Germans need to count the ‘US 2’ as one normal transport wave (say 4 transports), or two cumulated waves (if US redirects the ‘shuck’ from Africa) with a pause next turn ? It resumes to the question: would US dare that ? or have interest ?

Also, if US shuttles to Africa, is it well for Germany to defend Italy with full force to hold it, or a similar wait and counterattack policy ?

Yes it is.  However, I think you missed one as well.  You may use a retreat to get units through enemy lines and consolidate your forces.

For instance, if Russia has 8 Infantry, 3 Tanks in Persia and 24 Infantry, 9 Tanks and 2 Fighters in Russia, you can attack the Germans in Caucasus with everything and retreat everything to Russia where you can be a pain in Germany’s side.

Does not always come in handy, but there are times it is useful.  Namely in the above situation, but also when you put a Submarine in SZ 2 and your British fleet in SZ 4 then attack the German fleet in SZ 3 and retreat your entire navy to SZ 2.

Uh! And why not equip them with a pre-emptive shot and the capabilities to carry a fighter?  :-D

I like Transports also!!!
TRN is the more important unit after the infantry (that is the more important unit overall in the game) because they are able to transport the more important unit of the game, the infantry!

But… my TRN do not difend as Jen TRN do, they insist in scoring between 2 and 4!  :-(
