Great work, and I like the reasonings, young one 8-)!
Sound basic strategy indeed. Don’t worry about ‘things you might have missed’. Those things can be covered in your video’s for advanced play.
There may be some extra tips if you indeed plan video’s for advanced play:
-I’d go for 1 extra sub against the canadian ships and also attack Southern France.
-In short, prudence is key for the axis. Don’t rush for Victory Cities. There is no such thing as winning the game with the axis if they take Moscow but loose half of Western Europe because of that. Or if they take London but cannot birdcage Russia as a result. Axis fare much better and are MUCH harder to take down (if at all :-() if they react to the allies instead of trying to maintain the initiative after the opening turns. Germany securing their western (and Italian!) beaches against the Wallies instead of ‘pushing into Moscow at all costs’ is a great example of this.
-But whatever Germany is doing, they must at least push Russia back into Moscow (not necessarily taking it). That is never open for a compromise. Russia allowed an income (>20 IPCs) = Axis will be screwed. After this, Germany only needs to make sure that their income (+ what’s left of the Italians’ income) tramples that of Russia + UK combined. If Japan can force the USA to focus all of their income into the Pacific (or at least 90%), the axis are looking unbreakable. Versus advanced axis players, I don’t see how the USA would ever be able to spend too much income in Europe anyway, because they either go ‘JF’ to begin with, or Japan reaches >90IPCs per turn, dwarfing the USA economy (rediculous anyway), making it very easy for Japan to force the USA to spend every dollar in the Pac…
