Even if you take a major beatdown in China, that's certainly not the end of the game. It takes a "certain type of player" to be good in the Japan/China 1939 early struggle. Some guys don't about taking damage as Japs in order to speed the process. They use 3-prong attacks & trash their carriers. I've gotten my ass kicked several times as the Chinese, but I've never lost the country. As the Jap player, I prefer to be more precise, I use this front as a training ground. Been sending Heavy Artillery for kicks & giggles, because that war ain't gonna end. Don't get caught up in the Japan/China battle. Long as something absurd doesn't happen, you'll be fine. France, the game is not won/lost here either. Just plan on losing in June/July 1940. I got my royal ass kicked by Plastilin. Wasn't really paying close attention to the replay, dude caught some global warming weather & sliced me in November 1939, think he took Paris in January 1940? Now, it happens. I was sleeping, couldn't get the Brits into position. Totally threw me under the bus. Egypt, now this arena is very, very interesting. Takes MMPs, time, and units for the Axis to punch through. Yes, they should be able to do this, but there is a cost. On the flip side, the British can go "all-out" to save Egypt and try to dominate the Mediterranean front. To those struggling with the Allies, well, you need some more data before condemning the scenario. My record is 2-1 as Allies. It's a long game, like a poker tournament. You're not going to win everyhand. Be willing to drop your pride, wait sometimes, give territory. Additionally, you MUST be careful what Tech/Units you're buying with British. You might not need ASW, maybe Ground Tech or Air Tech. Depends what your opponent is doing. British can "tempt the opponent to do Sealion", force them to prove that Axis player has the ability. Make them call your bluff. Try buying some "odd units" or mix your strategy. Think of what tasks you'll save for the Yanks. If Axis is going cookie cutter, wait on your buys, save some MMPs for couple turns before you commit. Either way, whosoever reads this message, and says "Axis always wins", I'll play you. Set up the game, send me password. Would like you to prove it. Blue Hawaii, -EJR
