producing an army with uk is loladin strategy. U have the whole world with troops for u to use, why in hell are u building your own? first of all u should try to build some airforce to outmatch the axis airforce in med and france. if u do that u just saved 140 divisions that would be protecting africa and uk, and can use them someplace else, and guess what u dont pay nothing for them as your puppets and allys build them.
what do u need them for? want it or not, tanks are useless while produced by uk. For that exists usa and russia(which is the one who wins or lose the war).
Uk's function is not to hold germans on france, only to waste thier manpower so that they might get out of manpower while fighting in russia, and, consequently, lose the war, which can be done by having a competent airforce. U also have the job of defending suez and gibraltar. Now germans wont want to waste time or manpower in a long war in spain (as it is the defender's paradise), so they often send the italians to try to go around defences by landing on it, yet if your airforce keeps bombing italians convoys and escorts, italy will lose any sea offencive capability as it will not be able to supply its own forces, and therefor send them to death. Same applys to africa.
Your airforce will also draw germany/italy airforces and resources of their industries in the west, which are put into producing more aircrafts, giving urss a chance of contending for air dominance (as airforce is the main problem of soviet armed forces), which in turn makes german player's lose their only advantage over soviet forces (apart from armor =p), and getting them stuck with 2 airforces molesting them in west and east.
My 2 cents.

I would like to see you holding afrika without tanks, then you will most likey end up losing all divs that defends afrika. Perhaps AT brigades is enough I don't know.
But I do agree about the air power and the fact that UKs main goal is to drain manpower from axis.

well, I can tell you that I build up in stagesa.d.a.m said:
First is Logistics eg, Airbases, Convoys ect....
Second is Airforce, more then 70 fighters navs ect....
Then I support it with ASW fleets and a Mechanized army based on Firepower and Close air Support.
I dont go out to build the 300 division army, I would rather have 150 well equipped and well supported force.
Ahh now I see Italy can't enter the war before march 1940 that makes a big diffrence when it comes to defend afrika for UK.
I hate to inform you but tanks are not the end all force in war, They are simply a ground unit with a stronger Hard Attack and a smaller Soft Target value, a 1939 infantry division with art gives a 4 Hard Attack, that alone wtih a dig in will allow it to win defensive battles, and because infantry is much more cost effective, you can have 2-3:1 advantages in numbers. Im not saying Armor is useless, just that they arent as powerfull as you are making them out to be.Phadishar said:
no the best strategy by far(the one I use). Build 150 militia and brigade them all with heavy armor. Battleships are a must, equipped with the latest in ASW technology. then comes the true surprise, cavalry with tank destroyers so I can own germany.

Your not thinking that long, you can only attack with 24 divs from one province to build 24 art inf and attacking with that just won't do, if the defender is 24 or even 36 inf divs. No nations except USSR have the manpower to only produce inf.
