    North Africa key?

    in Strategic Command 1

    You don't need that many units to guard the coastline of Egypt/Suez, and isn't tying up a large part of the Luftwaffe a good thing in general? He'll take losses vs the RAF, he won't perhaps be inclined to invade as many neutrals, and he has a time crunch of Russia coming in. Is it really worth it for the Axis?

    Assuming we have a successful axis victory in France by June/July '40, is there anyone else who believes that NA is the key to and allied victory? Zapp made mention to me that Egypt is too easily takeable, but I really disagree. Proper reinforcement with army+ 2-3 air should make Egypt untakeable. An axis failure to take this strategic city will inenvitable lead to an allied counter-attack once Russia is in the war. Italy is incapable of doing anything alone, and Germany is often too tied up to make a huge difference. If the Allies decide to reinforce Egypt, I understand that England may be understrength if Axis decide on Sealion, but that's where risk comes in. I try to reinforce egypt as soon as possible, and it usually works. Anyone else have some input?

    "Poor Sportsmanship" to attack USA?

    Come on, you lost control of the Atlantic, and then you think it's cheap that the Axis is not allowed to exploit it's victory? Half the reason, if not more, for winning the battle of the Atlantic as the Axis IS because it opens the possibility of an extended front, in this case benefiting Germany. First of all, you should NEVER lose the atlantic to subs. If he starts investing in his navy, you make sure you destroy it asap. Besides, the Allies have better forces and air screening on both sides of the Atlantic. The Axis player would really have to divert MPP's to sustain a war on the sea, and that's what you want. Less against Russia, right? I think invading Canada, US, is generally a waste of time and mpp's for the Axis. Transports can be spotted and sunk relatively easily by a patrolling RN and US fleet. As the Axis, it's a real gamble for me to even waste 1 corp to do such an action. HOWEVER, if I am winning (have won) the battle of the Atlantic, then I DEFINITELY would invade the USA prior to UK/Russia's fall. It's more or less your fault that he has this opportunity :rolleyes:
