Actually, I have. I have the board game. The Axis are screwed unless you're really good. You need 3 really good players and you need to take out at least one of the allies in 10 turns, or their production will kill you.
✅ Which is why I said 10 turns. If you haven't beaten Russia at that point, you're probably screwed. On the other hand, if you take out Russia and hold part of Africa, you can get a major advantage over the allies.
If the guy playing britain is smart, he'll put a factory in africa, then send in heavy bombers to kill Germany's cash supply.

Originally posted by TricksterPriestThat was a blow. Once America looses China they are almost a non-factor for half of the game then. All you can do then is build enough transports to either get to Japan or to Africa 😛
I tried that against my brother. He turned some of his forces in Manchuko at me and due to some bad rolls, I lost control of China. 🙁
Originally posted by TricksterPriestIt doable hard but doable. You just have to be will willing to somewhat separate your Russian forces meaning willing give Russia up to Germany. at the same time spend all of Britain's money on Bombers and Ships and send them over to bomb Germany a little bit.
I just don't see how you can keep China. All Japan has to do is turn half their forces on it, and boom, they're safe for most of the game. America has spend an inordinate amount of cash on China to keep it intact.
It isn't fool proof but if it pays off man do you have some good help from the USA early.
