Would this constitute propaganda or counter-intelligence efforts?

Haha for real! I guess if I'd knocked off Iraq it would all have seemed more worth it, but now we're kind of spent at the middle there. I don't know, I think I should have put less effort into trying to stall you at Egypt and French Indochina and just abandoned them to stack the safer production spots in Nigeria and French India. Feeling a little light on the subcontinent and central Africa at the moment lol.
Right on, catch you in a few guys

Headed home in like 15 min. Will check it out when I get there.
I was looking back at the first round set up, and I'm starting to think that a transport build in the Caspian might actually be a pretty slick play for the Russians on their first turn. It's kinda pricey, but with 6 steel you could get another transport, a cruiser and a PT boat? Or maybe like 2 transports and a destroyer, or 2 transports and 2 PT boats? (Enough to keep the middle eastern fighters off your back.) Then just pull a bunch of dudes back to Stalingrad... stack Caucasus and Western Turkistan, move the mobile Siberian units to Aktobe and wait to see what Iran does.
With that many hitpoints bearing down on the Persian factory what could they do but give up the ghost and run away to Iraq hehe? I mean you probably gotta give up Leningrad to pull it off cause it's lest ground units for defending the northern front, and the Caspian ships would be stuck forever, but you could knock off Iran immediately, maybe squeeze Iraq out too, and then shuttle between the Middle East and Stalingrad pretty quick style. Not sure why I haven't tried it before, but I think it looks pretty promising. Something for next time I guess hehe

I predict this won't be the first time a British Air-transport gets left behind on the runway in Greenland lol. Tried my best to punish Finland for the horrid things their friends have been up to, then stacked Gibraltar as best I was able. Back to Italy
-
ps. the more I think about it the more I like the caspian transport build on Russia's first turn. The middle east is really the only front where Russia can potentially gain some ground early on, since they get rolled up in the west, and Japan's transport capacity makes the far east coastline pretty dangerous. I think it risks losing the Moscow pocket to Germany/Finland earlier than one might like, but perhaps gives a way to relocate production and keep the Stalingrad VC active for the Allies. You lose a lot of PUs up north but could pick up 25 down south if you leverage the play into taking Iraq too, and at least there is some support overland from India. Thematically the Allies died invade Iran pretty early on so it follows a fairly historical script.
I think it probably makes a defensive stack in Western Turkistan more reliable (to keep the blitz path through Aktobe) since if Iran goes forward they leave themselves vulnerable to amphibius invasion. I imagine Axis might calculate that Iraq is the more defensible of the two, and maybe pull back that direction.
What do you think?

Maybe something more like the above? I think the Axis player would be pretty hard pressed to attack Western Turkistan with Iran under those conditions, and failing to shut down the blitz path for the Siberian units in Aktobe more or less ensures that Iran will fall to the Soviets the following round (even if the airbase bonus to movement is removed in subsequent builds.) Its a pretty expensive investment on the water, but I think its promising. The PT boats should be enough to deter an air attack in the first round, then perhaps later you can bolster the Caspian fleet with a cruiser or something just to make sure any German/Italian aircraft that get flown into the area can't screw the transports later on.
Once established in the area India can bring up the rear (maybe with a factory in Afghanistan, or their own transport to the mideast if it survives the first round etc) and Russia can bounce the 12 hitpoints back via transport to try and hold the line at Stalingrad once they mop up. Have all the Allied ships in the region start converging on the Persian Gulf Arabian Sz to give Italy and Japan pause?
What do you think? I viable alternative to trying to hold the Russian center?

@black_elk Yeah, right now focusing on capturing Iran/Iraq early as USSR is a good idea. Its tough for the Axis to support them and they start out pretty weak but are worth 10 PU each plus oil plus great strategic location. Not sure if transports or planes or just mobile ground forces is the best approach. But trying to take out Iran turn 2 or 3 then Iraq the following turn is probably timing wise ideal.
IMO, the Middle East is just too weak and exposed to USSR attacks early on. I think they need beefed up and maybe even combined together into 1 nation.

@redrum Yeah I was thinking the same. I don't know what you could call the faction, Middle East Axis or whatever, but if they had a choice between defending production at Iran or Iraq (where they could sacrifice one spot to support the other if need be) maybe it would be a bit more interesting. I think I like the light green territory color aesthetically for the map.
On the Allied side I still feel the French Colonies and South Africa are kind of unnecessary. I understand the rationale about jumping around from region to region, but Russia and the US both kind of do that already, so I think France or British colonies could do the same without any real confusion. I actually think it would open up the naval game somewhat, if some of those starting ships weren't split over so many minor factions. Thematically there was never really such a thing as a French or British colonial fleet, I guess I kind of interpreted it as a regional command, but it does put definite limits on what the Allies can do, since none of those Allied minors are really large enough to expand on the water. They can consolidate for defensive camping, or do blocking maneuvers, but on the attack not so much. I don't know, I think France at least would be a more interesting faction if all those colonial spots were just straight up French.
