25. If no Sinkiang/India factory take over Sinkiang on turn 5 and India on Turn 6. If one factory was built take over other territory on turn 6 and factory on turn 8. If two factories were built take over Sinkiang on Turn 7 and India on Turn 8.
26. Have Brazil/South Africa Factory build submarines and move them to north sea or US coast. When there is no need for submarines begin to build tanks and advance to mexico.

The idea of the first turn build of both Germany and Japan is to force the US player to stay away from the Alantic Ocean. Japans move force the US player to build defence on the western shores. Plus the US player can’t build any transports in the alantic with out dfence because of the bombers. Since the US player does have enought money to do both he/she will be force to build all infantry on the western shores.

As for the 3 Aircarft Carriers on Germany Shores. They are combined with the fleet of submarines coming from the brazil/south africa factory. After the carriers are built Germany doesn’t need to spend anymore money because any hits are taken by the Japanese Subs

I agree it is not as aggresive on Russia as some other startegies are. This strategy is design to keep the US off of Germanys back. It doesn’t work well against novice US players. I have used it in my play group and it is very successful.

As for the 3 Aircarft Carriers on Germany Shores

Still to build three of them in one round, with (i am generous) one fighter each… is 90 bucks.
If i had that amount of cash spare as a german with “all Infs” build-ups before that… then Moscow would surely cease to exist as a capitol.

The Luftwaffe has a shiny new plane, with no targets

Well, stategic bombing is always an option, either England or preferably Russia. Nevertheless, it is true that

Meanwhile thats less Inf for Russia to worry about.

which would be my big concern as Germany.

If I were England though, I would build the Navy anyway and let Germany try to sink it with the bomber. It doesn’t attack that much stronger than a fighter (only one higher dice number, but I can’t remember whether it is a 4 or 5 right now).

Either way the bombers keep any US/UK infantry away from Europe. Also If the US sent any transports to Brazil shores. The entire germany airforce in West Africa would sink them. And even if the US does that the Japan fleet can land in South Africa and build subs there.

As for Russia by about turn 6-8 Japan should have a factory in India/Sin kiang/ Manchuria. Making Japan’s purchases 2 or 3 Subs plus 2 or 3 tanks. The tanks will put pressure on Russia. Also it is expected that eventually the brazil/south africa factory will fall. either by taking moving troops south from Mexico or by a long Naval War in the Alantic.

One more thing. The Germany Fleet will be built in the Pacific over a period of many turns anywhere from 3-6.

That is my fault the Germany fleet is built in the Mediterran.

I have recently used this strategy without Russia Restricted and it doesn’t work. Does any body know how I can change it so that it will.
