Taking Russia is almost impossible for Germany to do w/o taking any Ipc’s away. I would buy men first b/c  it takes them longer to get to Russia and you need a ton of fodder for your tanks and planes to be effective. Russia will probably buy a ftr, and 4 men on the first turn. It will be able to spend 29 on the t2 if russia takes the ukraine and west russia back. So expect Russia to load up men, and they should have plenty of men by the time you can actually muster up a force.

I would switch my plan to the uk w/ bombers and reseach for rockets. It’s easier to take land away from the uk with hardly any forces at all in Africa. If you build a AC and a Transport on the first turn you have a better navy than \what the uk has to offer.

Once you deplete the uk of money Germany  and japan will be able to work as team to conquer Russia.

Did Russia attack the Ukraine on t1? B/c if for some reason he didn’t, I would move all your forces there. ( and I mean everything you got.) Thats a huge blunder for the Allies.

If Russia did take the Ukraine, then move your forces into Belarussia and retake the Ukraine. But don’t forget to watch your rear b/c western Europe is now vunerable to the Uk.

Your oppenent used a standard attack for Russia. Usually All the men from Russia, Archangel, and Karielia will go into West russia w/ a tank planes and 1 Art. That way Russia can put a ton of pressure on Germany early!

If I were I would only buy enough stuff to keep Russia from getting any ideas about taking the Ukraine and Belarussia. I would focus most of my attention to Africa and the uk fleet or taking money away from the Uk by buying Bombers or rolling for rockets.

I would buy 1 transport and a bomber and the rest men. Move a couple planes to norway and transport two men to Norway (make sure you let your oppenent get the idea that you are trying to reinforce norway from an U.K. invasion.) Now you can attack with 3 tanks and 3 men  5 planes and two bombers.

This actually worked one time against a friend of mine who regularly beats me at A&A.

I have to disagree with abandoning India so Quickly.  In order for japan to be sucessful it needs focus on attacking and holding the mainland. (which includes taking control of  China, the Russian controlled  part of Asia, and India,  as fast as it can.) If Japan buys 1 or 2  IC’s  on its first turn, The main land is going to be extremely bare when its Uk’s 2nd turn. So my advice is not build an IC on India but take the transport from india, and pick up the guy from South Africa, and move the persian guy into India. ( If the Japan decides to attack your Fleet so  be it,  You will leave the Jap fleet very weak and it will be easier for the U.S fleet to handle. )

Don’t worry about Africa, the U.S. should always be ones who control Africa. The U.S can land 5 peices on Africa the first turn.( 2 men 1 artillary, 1 tank, and a plane.) Eventually you will have to pull out of  India and thats when  the small uk force can A. move into the Caucus’s or B. Help the U.S control Africa.
