Here's a couple of random thoughts from across the pond. 1. The Western Front: I don't recall you preparing the three airborne units in England for a jump. IMHO- Forget Denmark, leave that to Sweden when the times comes. Drop them in France or the Low Countries. Can French units be used to liberate Vichy France? Actually, I'm surprised the AI doesn't eliminate Vichy as of November 1942. The Med & Balkans: Can you do a Turkish amphibious end run in the Black Sea? They have a cruiser to scout out the ports. Who knows, maybe there's an unguarded port. Hold on in Greece, once you crush everything in Italy, swing south and try a trap the Germans in Bulgaria and Romania. China/Russia: Keep it up. Pacific: Once you initially landed your USMC units, redeploy them on to long range amphibious transport and take Saipan, then go for the throat and assault the Japanese home islands. Hope you don't mind my kibitzing, I really look forward to watching you posts.

Why let the German sub escape? You have plenty to sink it and it could do some damage against American transports in the Atlantic.

You didn't touch the British fleet off Ceylon and India, along with the Indian marines. Your Indians have a full research queue and about 5 units total. Perhaps you should stop teching and build a few units for them....


Units keep slipping into permanent idle, now you've lost your Russian BB in the Gulf of Bothnia.
