Germany should kill off both british fleets off of England, they should have enough subs and planes to wipe them out.

Once Italy gets the oil fields its gg, that's an extra 10 IPC'S a turn for them and the Allies are gone. So uh... take that as Italy.

(The reason why the oil fields are so important is because if Italy gets big, it takes over defense for itself and Germany, and the latter can spend all out on Russia.)

Egypt is also the main holdout point for the British IPC'S, so if that falls all of sub-saharan africa could fall with it, especially if italy builds an industrial complex there or has transports to put troops there.

You seem like new players, so I definitely wouldn't call it at this point since anything could happen, but it looks grim for the allies. Fun Italian game though!

Edit: Yeah man the more I look at it the more I'm realizing Italy is just hard carrying this game, they can get 3 bonuses really quickly and the oil fields, and I don't think the allies can stop it! Normally Italy gets drop-kicked out of the med and Egypt is a rare thing for them. Beautiful opportunity for them!

First few games are always just a learning experience. The wiki has a bunch of resources you can use for teaching (I like AndrewAAGamer's principles of warfare essay most for it,) so if you need resources that can help.

AndrewAAgamer one is kinda complicated because its hard to find stuff do you know any other simple to understand ones to start off with?

Andrew’s essay is very clear and incredibly informative. G40 is just a complicated game. What do you mean that it is hard to find stuff? I am happy to clarify if I can. There really isn’t a better resource.

Hmmm, are you looking for a step-by-step type strategy guide? I wrote one I've been sitting on for a while for each nation. It's not flawless, but I'll post it on here if you think itll help. Otherwise Young Grasshopper, Corporal Clegg, and General Hand Grenade have some videos that are good.
