New member here, just looking for some basic guidelines as to how to play with the UK.

I can acquit myself well with the Axis but am always overwhelmed with the Allies, particularly when trying to do anything with the UK.
I’ve tried just about every strategy & looked at how they play it, but I am seriously struggling to either stop advances from the axis on Africa, the middle east or even Britain itself, can almost never hold India for more than a few turns & any attempt to build a Navy is swiftly dealt with by German bombers etc.

Read a few things but nothing seems to be sticking.

Any thoughts for a relative newbie much appreciated!

@domanmacgee thank you so much, that is really helpful.

Yes I agree it’s hard to lose the UK, although that has happened to me once when I took my eye of it trying to focus on India, but that was an early game! My overall difficulties are just in getting any real traction with either a fleet or land progress anywhere else & I’ve read a few tips online but yours are much more concise & I’m keen to try them.

When I play the axis, my first move against the UK is to wipe out the fleet & others seem to do the same so I’ve not found a way to build/rebuild a fleet but the idea of holding back is interesting.

I’ve not seen the Larry Harris setup, but will do so. Thanks again

@panther oops, thanks fella. yep rookie mistake!
