<t> Do you have Infantry Weapon 2 tech? Did you get Infantry and Armored Warfare techs? Without them you will have a lot of trouble. Generally you should focus more on tech in the early game and relatively little on building units, particularly as the Allies. You should be at or near your research ...

Encirclements work but you have to focus your strong units on reducing (either through air or siege) or taking the supply points inside of them. In addition an encirclement usually means you have more hexsides to attack into compared to a battle line.

<t> The commandos usually surrender when France falls but there is a percentage chance (low) of units not in France or French territory going Free French instead of vanishing. It rarely comes up in practice but my guess is the commando made the cut the first time and not the second time. It usually ...

Here is my fast and loose understanding of the benefits of HQs.<br/>

For example, what is the threshold supply level to reinforce a unit up to its full nominal value of 10?

Supply level 6 is what you need to get up to 10. Supply 5 gets you only to 8.

That is probably it. You could destroy the invasion and see if the surrender triggers. If not, go for world domination.

3. It is March 1940 and France and all the low countries have have fallen to Germany...Sealion or not...that is the question. Since this is my first campaign...Sealion or Malta/North Africa/Russia next objective? BEF has been destroyed, but the British navy still rules the ...

<r> I looked up the event and it is much earlier then I remembered. Penang and Singapore have to be in Axis hands and Malaya must have surrendered.<br/>

From what I hear this is getting fixed in the next patch.

<t> In general Germany and Italy cannot use Japanese ports or supply sources vice-versa.<br/>
<br/>
There is an even in 1944 (I believe to make the port of Penang into a German port). Once this is done it cannot resupply Japanese ships. Realistically it makes sense. Japan had almost no way to get ...

Not really. Both Belgium and the Netherlands were fully mobilized and building fortifications months before the Germans invaded. The Netherlands military ...

Even if they are supplied you can still wipe out the Low Countries in one turn. It gets silly in a lot of situations that neutrals are always caught completely off-guard.

<t> I think one of the big problems is the "surprise" of minor neutrals being at 0 supply on the first turn. It is easy to win quickly. Against Spain it is not difficult to mass enough air to bomb the defenders of Madrid out of existence and, if you have a fast enough unit, take the capitol on the ...

Oh, I have been thinking minors can benefit from their controlling major's HQs and playing that way. Oops.

Couldn't they attach to a British HQ since it is a British minor?

I thought the US and Britain cannot use Soviet supply points. How are they being supplied for these raids in Russia?

Try playing with the force caps in place so the US and Britain can only have a few strat bombers.

Since Japanese units cannot get supply from German sources this just seems like a waste.

<t> The war is won on the Eastern Front. In MP I tend to attack the Soviets to assist the Germans if at all possible with a balance of holding on to your other holdings to avoid morale losses. It adds up quick if the US starts an island hopping campaign. Another factor to consider is that it is ...
