The Americans can’t get to Africa to help out the Brits fast enough.  I’m sure I probably missed something else totally obvious.

Its a great game, but if you don’t play it like 100 times, you miss stuff.

5 german bombers vs 1 CV, 2 P-51s, 1 CL, and 1 DD is a coin flip.  I need my boats to threaten Norway and Western Germany more than you need the bombers.  I had to hang the British (again) and take Southern France to protect the Atlantic fleet and all my transports.

I had the Japanese go max defense in Java (since you had way more carrier space than you needed for your planes) and you really got your licks in.  I think you had like 7 or 8 hits in the first round.  :-o :-(  I just sacrificed my carriers early and that paid off this time.

Unfortunately, the Canadian troops will now never see Africa but I can’t risk the Americans.  If hadn’t have done what I did, I am SURE you would have attacked them.  I have learned how nasty your Luftwaffe can be when you use it properly.

@Arthur:

That crazy luck on Java cost me 50+ PUs… anyway that made the Pacific much more interesting.  Time to rebuild my airforce…

Your American fleet is not my target: I need to get to Moscow on G6.  There will be very few troops to defend it after I smash the main stack in my way.  You play too aggressively as Russia.

I can’t believe you tried to attack Java.  I just assumed that Java and Sumatra are just so well garrisoned that you wouldn’t waste the effort.

With Russia, I can’t let you get to the Caucuses, so I had to put the infs up as a wall now.  I figured your armor and mech inf which are more than 2 squares away gave me a perfect opportunity to make a stand.
