Can anyone help me with an opinion?

thanks a lot.

If you build britian’s airforce just a little then you can take out whatever the Germans may have in the Med. No German transports=no German troops in Africa, so the Africian problem is solved. Of course you’ll need a couple trasports worth of troops to mop up, but that shouldn’t be terribly difficult

What happens when you can’t knock out the
German transports/fleet and you loose a lot
of air power?

I like an indian IC for two reasons. First, it helps keep the Japaneese back longer than any other option. Second, it gets Britain into the game faster, its rather boring to play Britain sometimes.
-
If you can’t manage to build some planes and attack the Mediterranian fleet then something has gone terribly wrong and you have no hope in Africa except for a large scale American invasion; that is, of course, if the Americans can keep their navy somewhat intact (which shouldn’t be too difficult).

The British….
When playing the Brits, my strategy is simple (albiet a little boring as mentioned). Transports…transports…transports…(with aircraft carrier protection). Load’em up with infantry at every opportunity and attack W.Europe relentlessly. Establish a foothold in W.Europe and Germany is finished (thus the game as Japan will be soon to follow with 3 powers attacking). Germany is forced to repel the W.Europe attacks drawing crucial resources away from the eastern front. This allows the Russians to hold back the Japanese long enough for Germany to fall.
I do not concern myself with Japan when playing the Brits (that’s what the US is for in my opinion). The goal is Germany…plain and simple.
This strategy proves effective as it is very sound to create a 2 front war for the Germans.

Even if UK builds a factory in India, it can always fall to the invading Japanese. Rememeber, India is thinly held by 2 inf (3 inf if you count the Middle East) and one plane. A large scale attempt by Japan to take India might not only result in the loss of 3 IPC but a very important IC turned over to Japan.
-
The Japanese cannot hit india with all that much in their first turn and they probably have better targets against which they will have better chances. The point is that by the time the Japanese build a sizable offensive force in the area the british could have quite a lot of infantry in India.
-
Well based on my findings, Japan can hit India pretty hard. 4 inf, 1 plane, and 1 bomber vs. 3 inf and 1 plane. I think that the odds are in Japan’s favor. Even if Japan losses, German can still manage to knock out India with 2 inf (from transport), 1 bomber, and one shot from the Battleship. Of course, there are more tempting targets for Japan, but this is IF UK builds a factory in India.
-
Only way I’m building an India factory is if Germany does not attack Egypt on G1. Then I can transport two infantry from africa to India, move my tank to Persia…and move all UK air in range of FIC in preparation for a counter on UK2. With my 4 infantry and fighter in India all Japan can hit with would be 4 infantry and bomber and this is assuming Japan can take out the Uk tranny with a fighter…a low odds proposal from any angle.
