Hey everyoneI am located a little south of Baltimore, and I picked up global 1940 in lockdown and am looking to finally get a game in with it. If you would rather play another version of axis and allies, I would be happy to do so!

Hello everyone, I have recently been experimenting with the UK, and I am trying to find a strategy which works at least nearly as well as middle earth. I have tried to do a more historical landing in Norway or across the channel into France, but found that with Germany buying 2ish bombers a turn I had to spend most my IPCS just adding to my fleet to prevent its destruction. I also tried a more economic warfare strategy , which worked well enough where I bought subs and parked them in just about every convoy zone around Europe, especially in the Adriatic sea zone which Italy could not deal with at all and it brought them to basically 0 ipcs a turn. I spent the rest of my ipcs on bombers, and went ham on industrial raids. However, with no british presence in the middle east to push up into the soviet union, the germans were able to capture and hold stalingrad, the cacuses, and the other territories down there for a huge income boost, as well as a huge income hit to the russians. the japanese also took calcutta and there was just nothing I could do to reinforce or retake it.
So I’m asking you all if there are any other effective uk strategies or is middle earth simply the best by far?
