@trulpen I think it looks good to me. Three subs is the right build, and the other moves look good too. My only thought is that it might be time to move the ANZAC inf to TransJordan from Egypt.

I like the move. Especially the subs. Since I don’t see any immediate movement against central Africa, I like moving inf towards Persia. Plan on the French as well.

Germany 5: Is my capital safe? After the US takes Denmark, builds a naval base and aircraft carrier the UK has a 3 infantry, artillery, 4 fighter, bomber and bombard attack. I will need significant resources to protect against that.

Take Volgograd, Caucasus and Novgorod to get some money. Moscow is very safe so need to think about a long-term money game.

US hasn’t built a mIC in Norway yet though, right?

Ahhh - you are right. So one less UK Fighter. Though you can never trust those sneaky Americans and their advanced technology and brain power. Better to be prepared for it just in case they slip one in somehow. Gotta watch out for those stealth factories.

@trulpen Stalingrad is certainly a must but I’d consider hitting Novgorod too. You deny him the use of the factory for another turn. But it might be difficult to do that safely without committing both air.
