Welcome once again to my Faqs about How to Be… I see my other 2 ( Japan and Germany) were a hit. There is part 1 because this one is about how to beat Germany then one how to beat Japan. So here is the UK. US and USSR will take some time.
The UK has a big advantage on Germany because the UK can to a hard hit on Norway, Germany, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Algeria, and Libia. Also this will increase so much of Income it isnt funny.

Attack Norway. This will help in the long run. Attack Africa. This will stop the advancement of the Afrika Korps big time. This will also have an advantage on Southern Europe. Attack Southern Europe. Then you can start the “pinch” manuver. You have Norway and Southern Europe this will destroy Europe. Attack Western Europe. Read on to see what this will do. Attack Eastern Europe. This will do a 4-way pinch.
Leave Ukraine SSR to Russia. Attack Germany. You now win Germany with the help of Russia.

Yeah but I also disagree with you so take it for what it is. As DM said if it were so easy to win with the Axis the play by email clubs would have lower bids to be the Axis as it is they currently stand at 24+! You’d think that is a lot but not really if you know how to win as the Allies. Even in RR you still need a substantial bid I’d say 14-15, and would always be willing to give the Axis a little to much than play as them with too little.

This friend of mine that I play against always builds 3 transports and 3 tanks per round with the US and keeps sending that force to Algeria. He loses tanks along the way, less later in the game, sending them to Persia. This totally keeps Germany out of Africa, and stops Japan in Asia later as well.

But have you rhought out what you would do as Germany or Japan to counter this move?
Any ideas?

Keep thinking! New ideas keep a lotta new players and regulars who get in a rut guessing! :)

Well, I wouldn’t do this if (a) Luck went bad with Germany, money needs to be spend helping Russia/Africa or (b) There are actual German Naval units left alive.

Exactly. This is always my first turn buy as well, and it is for about 90% of my opponents, too - and if the Allies haven’t destroyed both transports by turn 3 or 4, they are in trouble.

Usually I purchase an extra sub, not a transport. Of course, I would also have to do this with a bid.

TG is closer to the mark - you should send 2 inf a turn as long as you can… which will only be 2 or 3 turns.

Thanks. :)

But what are the Allies to do in the Atlantic? USA lacks the distance to make it particularly damaging to Germany’s Western Front.

Look, I think it’s possible if you and Japan can CRIPPLE UK’s economy by taking land and strategic bombing while building up. Not probable, just possible…
