No. The same is true of the Australian and Canadian HQs. They can only attach units of their minor nationality, not British ones. So about their only other use is to boost supply.

The only claim I've found a bit odd is your claim that you shouldn't bother with Advanced Fighters as Soviets, because they do not produce in enough numbers relative to matter. But they produce 6, and that's only 2 fewer ...

That will make you better player for both sides, i think. You will learn what's coming and when.

Don't do it then. Keep the bulk of your fleet in the Baltic and add some air power to stop the Brits when they try to break in. Air power is key. Some MBs and TAC's along with your ships will make sure the Brits are beaten back with ...

Havoc, I like how that starts, but a long way home for repairs.

Yeah, that's my concern with sending the German fleet too far, unless it's a submarine.

RE: How to destroy China as the Japanese

<r> By the way, here are the Yalu and the Tumen Rivers. You can see that they almost entirely divide the Korea-China border. In fact, the two rivers form the entire border; and so it has been fixed for over 600 years.<br/>

Another thing worth noting about the China-Japan balancing is the terrain. For instance, in the game, you can see the hexes around Changsha are relatively flat, thus making a Japanese push from Nanchang into Changsha or from Changsha ...

How do you get experience for Fighters - is it even possible?

It seems like they always get whacked while escorting or intercepting; and it seems impossible for them to gain experience?
