It's actually the UK and German teams (which equates to the Axis and Allies).

Does this mean that it is intended to be an Allies win if Germany is defeated, and an axis win if UK is? If this is the case the conditions don't seem to work. I have completed at least 3 games as the Allies and every time I have to completely conquer to win, even though Germany goes down first.

1936 Map. I am US. it's 1940 and I cannot do anything yet. I have a task force in the Med Sea awaiting a jump to North Africa. Well the Russians just eliminated Finland and took all the western cities in N. Africa. But, they are losing the homeland to Germany. What's up with that? N.Africa was to be my staging area. How does anyone handle this? Or do you not ever play USA?

I have played through quite a few Eurpoean theater scenarios and I have not seen Russia take anything in N Africa. Where would they stage from?? The AI rarely uses transports in force, and it can't attack the UK(unless you aren't playing historical).

I've been messing around with the AI, and it's a lot more aggressive.

Thanks Blake for helping me understand AI plans and strategies.

Does this mean that finally tha AI is going to pay attention overseas?

Played USA on #2. I guess USA has to wait too long and anything can happen.

question on the road to war bata. I get a 90 second loop between moves, any one else? Then I get two moves and then wait again.
p.s. the winter movement farther down the map is good.
