[Cpuncher]

What do you bring to NA then? Indian troops? There are also SA and AUS corps, but against ITA armies/GER DAK this may be too little.

I will bring the AUS HQ and Corps, and Indian troops. The FRA Engineer can build 2 forts if you hold France long enough. Together with the many scripted units spawn, you can easily hold against the Italians, but will lose if the Germans come (who will only come after the fall of France...). If you hold France long enough, then the Germans in NA will not reach Middle East soon enough to apply pressure to RUS from the south.

... or maybe operate them to French ports - Brest/Nantes/Bordeaux to piss GER off? This is usually irritating for GER, but is it really worth it is another matter.

This is only helpful when early attack on Russia is allowed, with the current ELO rule, it's probably not worth it, but wouldn't be bad if the Axis player was not expecting it.

... Part of problem seems to be supply system...But capping supply more and making it more impractful, both for readiness and movement, would not only be more feasible, but also more realistic.

I agree the supply system can be made even a bit harsher. HQ boosting needs to be tuned down still a bit more, and scorched earth needs to make sure resources can only be captured at max strength 4 (including ports), no matter how high the original strength is. I think the impact of low supply on readiness and movement is sufficient, though.

...Could you elaborate bit more? Mech is good for solving 'ZOC puzzle', but without armored warfare it seems to be a bit suboptimal. Maybe it's still worth it. But what about arta? I see it very often on Axis side and it usually does the job somehow. Though I'd probably pick med bomber.

The Mech doesn't need armored warfare. It's value is its 5 AP and Inf Weapon upgrade. It can cut enemy supply or with shift-swap bring units into otherwise inaccessible position. In the past I used to build 1 or 2 JAP heavy artillery, but not any more in recent games. With my improved movements and the Mech, I can take China just as fast. I generally don't use arti much in the whole game anyway.
