You need to place Hamburgermeat in A class. Perhaps he is not active anymore, but he was such a dominant player until Fafnir began playing that he deserves a mention. He is also the only one to beat Fafnir, as far as i know.
Fafnir should have his own class, shouldnt he?

Seems to be a bug with new patch. Amerian ships wont appear before end of turn when Japan declares war, making Pearl Harbour not possible.

They are much cheaper, and they have pretty strong defensive stats. This is an upgraded HQ Montgomery from another game.

The United Kingdom has the option to research nearly everything, and in doing so also helps the other Allies advance. For the Axis, as ...

With this, 1939 comes to an end.

In the Atlantic, I managed to destroy one submarine and damage another.

In China, I’m still struggling and falling short of my own expectations.

Otherwise, it’s business as usual. Nothing has been decided in this game yet — even if China were to fall.

I’ll pause ...

Round 11:

When under attack, units may retreat, which can often save you from losing them. Units with high mobility, such as motorized infantry or cavalry, are especially effective at this. However, in some situations—when you want to hold the line—this ability to withdraw can be a drawback, as ...

Round 10:

As heavy snow falls, the Chengchow army withdraws, coming under attack from the Japanese along the way.
In southern China, I pull the headquarters back, out of range of his carriers.

Here is my build queue for the United Kingdom, France, and China. For the UK, I’m focusing on air units and HQs, which will soon be essential to support the different theatres. France is producing bombers, with HQs, infantry, anti-tank, and anti-air soon to follow. I prioritize units with the ...

In northern China, he moves his upgraded and reinforced infantry corps into the gaps in my defensive line.

I switch the HQ in Yenan with my elite division and attempt an orderly retreat from Chengchow—a risky maneuver!

In southern China, he is still improving his positioning ...

Round 9

At last, I locate one of his submarines raiding the Canadian convoy, but I’m unable to finish it off.

Round 8

Winter is coming to northern China—and thank goodness for that. He is probably using the pause to reinforce his troops, so another offensive is likely on the way. I will try to slip one of my infantry divisions into position in front of Yenan, though I’m upgrading it to elite status first ...

This is the Allied income at the beginning of my turn.

I haven’t fully grasped the economy of this game yet—it varies with the time of year, and each nation’s economy gradually gears up as the war ...

Round 7

The mountaineers in front of Yenan are wiped out, and this position may soon become untenable for the Communists. Most likely, he will intensify his efforts in this sector. In other regions, he is cleverly replacing infantry corps with garrisons, allowing him to build up a Schwerpunkt where ...

On the Yenan front, I move troops into position in front of the city. My hope is for bad weather and enough time to dig in. I also swap the infantry corps with the mountaineers (not shown on screen), since they should defend better in the mountains.

On the Chengchow front, I reinforce the engineers ...

Round 6

Im Westen nichts Neues.

In southern China, he is not—contrary to my expectations—advancing directly on Nanning, but instead rushing three infantry corps up on its right flank. I have few troops in that area. In the southeastern sector between Canton and Changan, I’ve only seen garrisons ...

Round 5

Poland surrenders, at last, and aside from that, Europe has settled into the Sitzkrieg. Even in the Atlantic, all remains quiet.

In northern China, however, Japan has crushed the Communist mountain defenses. China is now bracing for an unexpected final battle for Yenan. Fortunately, Japan ...

There are some movements in the south—he is clearly getting into position before the fighting erupts there. Since I’ve spent so many resources on the northern front, I haven’t been able to order the new troops that will soon be badly needed in the south.

In Chengchow, he destroys one of my retreating corps and pounds the stationary corps in the mountains. I now regret having withdrawn troops from there earlier—it has opened the gates to Yenan.

Instead of maneuver warfare, I focus on reinforcing my exhausted forces.

Round 4

A few Polish garrisons refuse to surrender. Unlucky for my opponent.
