Hi Mike, I know you owe me at this one and if you want I will happily do a rematch as the axis.

The way I've won as the axis in the past is not to fight in the first 10 turns, trade space that you have a lots of and withdraw concentrating your troops while your armour arrives, basically a delaying action followed by limited counters where you have tactical local superiority the road network is in your favor use it to move your stuff around the battle field and pop up where it is least expected.

Lay some artillery traps, you have some good long ranges to catch the allied either mounted or deploying. concentrate your armour and attack then withdraw again.

In short the axis need to fight a mobile battle fighting where it can have a tactical advantage, the LW troops are hard as nails keep them moving and picking off the allies as they advance whittling them down.

It's true at first look the allies do seem to be holding all the aces especially early in the game, but during play I have had harder battles as the allies than the axis. cheers
