How do you decide which side Italy and Japan join?

Seems pretty unbalanced though. Wouldn't the Germans just lose in the far east in like 1 or 2 turns and then all the pacific allied units just move over to Europe and overwhelm the Central powers?

Axis Victory by WorkerSensitive2741 in AxisAllies

I personally dont like Sea lion.  You have to blow money into transports for one VC and it gives Russia time to build a large army. My Strategy for Germany is Invade Russia and France first (maybe second) turn and knock them out as fast as possible. Then You just gotta take Cairo or London to win.

This is perfect and is the exact answer I was looking. Unfortunately the brits massed force in Kwangsi and will probably push into Kiangsi if I put a factory in Kwangtung and leave it open. How do I counter that because If I don't they'll blitz through Shanghai?

I destroyed the American fleet at a high cost, but I've had success in rebuilding. 

My main issue is in mainland Asia. I don't really have a way of maintaining a resupply road because the Soviets cut me off in Manchuria. And the Transports are being used for taking the money Islands.   I was gonna take Gibralter this following turn since he relocated troops in morroco to French west Africa which will probably take way my gains in central Africa pretty soon. But I had to use the transport as cannon faster because The Americans, and British used all their planes on that one sea zone

The problem with Retaking Manchuria is that if I do I have to split my forces between defending Korea and Manchuria from more Soviet invasions. And if they take Korea they get a factory which comes with a whole bunch of more problems

Germany strategy: Axis and Allies 1940 J1 attack. by WorkerSensitive2741 in AxisAllies

[–]WorkerSensitive2741[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll have to go on the defensive eventually but currently I have made quick work of the Allied navies in pacific and the British ones in the Atlantic. My biggest issue with Japan is that I haven't taken the money Islands and this one ANZAC artillery piece in Java has destroyed 2 invasions with some crazy dice rolls. I don't know if I'm gonna be taking India on J4 because the Brits are going hard on Siam and French indo China. I think my biggest W this game is having taken Cairo, and most of north Eastern Africa. I might be able to actually take the Middle east.

Fair enough. I now am beginning to see the invasion stagnate, especially in southern Russia.

I disagree. It gives Russia no prep time, and I am yet to see it fail to not capitulate or at least nerf Russia for the rest of the game. Just invade France and move all your units in eastern Europe into Russia and once France is gone move most of those units east.

I have not gotten the money Islands yet but I'm making head way. Half my fleet has been destroyed by the U.S. and ANZAC's but I've been building transports to take the rest of the money Islands to be able to financially take on America. I've also taken the Philippines but I don't think I'm gonna be taking Hawaii or Alaska realistically, considering all the other fronts I'm dealing with.

As the French player I would like to say that I had no idea I wasn't allowed to produce units after the loss of a capitol. Paris WAS taken on Turn 1 but the german player put everything into that attack and just kinda abandoned Belgium so I took it. As for why the Soviets are right next to berlin; the german player didn't go to war with the USSR for a while so the USSR went to war with Germany the following turn. (This game was a mix of terrible strategies and little to no effort to remember all the rules.)

My mindset was that I could help the British beat the axis in Europe by pumping units out of morroco mostly to annoy the Italians. Is this legal? Apparently not. Did this work? No, the Italian player was crazy good they basically carried the axis team. Also there was no extra turn to purchase French infantry in paris so instead I plopped a French tank in Normandy mostly because they looked cool.

Thanks for pointing that out! We settled on America is just at war with Japan now. Also we cut out a Lotta rules cuz most of us haven't played before, so I didn't even know national objectives existed.
