@CentralCommando @SuperbattleshipYamato Thank you for explaining. I feel they should cost 4 it is more realistic. But for 3 and a 2 or less not bad at all if the opponent has a ton of aircraft. They are also good for defending Malta.
Strategies for Axis & Allies North Africa Germany Strategy

So, I made a list of possible straiges using the help of A.I and watching many videos on youtube. A.I. only gave me 1/10 of my ideas but it is used.
Germany - (Rommel’s Last Push)
The United Kingdom will be in panic as Axis forces crush them from Tobruk and Benghazi etc. Usually it is pretty easy to make it to Mersa Matruh. But with the stacking limit it you cant completely shut down the U.K. from a counter attack.
So what do you do. Well, this may seem simple but works. It has been used in other AA games as well.
The one two punch. Use Italy then Germany to take Caro. Let me explain in depth.
In Mersa Matruh stack with 8 Italian guys. Have a huge stack of German tanks and mechs. Have italy have a bunch of planes. With Italy moving 8 guys and some air units you will be able to take out a good amount of units. When Germany comes they will attack with Tanks, Mechs and planes thus hopefully taking Caro.
Make sure to stack up till round 7. Do not wait any longer because the Americans and Free French will be on your tail in the west.Germany - (Operation Torch)
The Americans landing into the Vichy French colonies. The French turning in favor of the Allies. Traders. What to do.
Well the Brits will be steam rolling in the east. You won’t be able to stop them, EVACUATE! Retreat all the way to El Agheila. Then build up a defence. We will talk about this later.
For now let’s talk about Tunis first.
You will need not troops or armor but you will need supplies. You barely have any. So but fighters and supplies to aid the troops there. The fighters are just to escort. Don’t buy to many. After you have a lot of supplies for Tunis buy heavy duty armor to defend El Agheila.
The Italinies will have men and supplies but will not have teh tanks and other armor to properly defend. So buy some armor.
Now we will go backwards a bit, let’s talk about the overwhelming Brits in the west. Scary. You should buy land mines to slow them down.These are just some quick ideas I came up with. Let me know if you have anymore! I will make posts ideas for the other countries.

Out curiosity, have you tested them yet?
I haven’t played the game either, but part of me feels like your ideas are too simple and you assume that the Axis get to Mersa Maruth. I also think you underestimate how many supply tokens (likely many) would be required to accomplish your one-two punch that I doubt the Axis would have enough of (thanks to their truck limits).
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Yes I have, the reason I skipped to that part is because when you play it is super easy to get there.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Supplies should be bought but when you get the Benghazi Convoy it is easy to get supplies to your troops.

Then I’ll keep this in mind when I play my first game. I look forward to more!
