thanks guys

I accidently posted these questions in the wrong part of the forums, one of the answers was answered but I still copy pasted a few that weren’t. I started playing this game about 4 days ago and here are the things I just don’t get…

Is it better to defend with 2 infantry or 1 tank?

Also, assume my 3 subs attack 1 destroyer + 1 battleship. The way I understood it, the destroyer affects the subs by not canceling the sneak attack, but being able to still fire back if it dies (and the <damaged>battleship too since its by the destroyer?).
-Assume my subs roll
-That counts as a sneak attack
-Then I fire my regular attack… correct?
-Ships fire back, … cycle restarts

OR

-Subs roll
-Counts as sneak attack
-Because of destroyers, defender fires back immediately vs sneak attack
-Submarine does regular attack
-Defender does its attack
…
+Any other interesting strategies for a newbie would be greatly appreciated…</damaged>

umm, I just bought the game board at Toys r us 3 days ago.

Hey, I like to play as Germany and Japan vs 3 of my friends. I don’t struggle much until Britain pumps out enough bombers from London, gets the bomber upgrade (roll dice twice) and strikes Berlin everround, making me lose 20 - 30 IPC;s a round, with such little reinforcements and the fact that I can’t make 1+ anti-air gun on a teritory - how am I suppoxed to stop that? Any idea’s?

I have only played 4 games so far, anything I could be doing wrong or is Germany supposed to be under such economic pressure?
