ORIGINAL: LiquidSky Think outside the box. If you play predictably then you are letting the Germans 'do the math' and will probably win. Try and aggravate them. Invade Norway just after he gets it. Put an AA in London and surround it in Militia to prevent paratroopers from taking it. Park your subs in front of the ports so he can't move into them without using precious little DD's to bump them out. I like this attitude/approach to a style of play the Allies could and probably should employ to aggravate the Axis. I myself thought about using the Allies naval superiority in carriers (with support BBs, CAs, Cls, and DDs) to raid the Norwegian convoy to Germany. The only issue with this is that the CVs (in convoy raiding mode), as the game is currently designed, need to be parked on or adjacent to the convoy line to be able raid. This of course puts the CV's in more danger. I anxiously await consideration on this from Hubert and Bill (see http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4288120 ), in terms of whether carriers should be able to raid convoys which they are in range of. In my opinion, I think this should be the case. It would also give the Allies an interesting/potentially effective way to convoy raid in the early years of the war. C
