For victory, I don't think it's all that vital, but if America ships in large forces, it can prove important to survival; America can easily launch an attack an Italy, and through there to Germany and the Balkans. Anyway, thoughts? -------------------- "Professor Plum, you were once a psychiatrist, helping paranoid and homicidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur." "Yes, but now I work for the United Nations."

The Allies can win without it, but if they get it, then Germany is almost certainly going to fall very quickly. -------------------- "Professor Plum, you were once a psychiatrist, helping paranoid and homicidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur."

But I wouldn't recommend trying . -------------------- "Professor Plum, you were once a psychiatrist, helping paranoid and homicidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur."

But it can only do so, once it creates a system, in which it can get units there every turn. That way, Africa is constantly being reinforced, and this will prevent Germany from retaking Africa. Also after this system is configured, I suggest that the US build more tansports so that it can create a system, in which it can reinforce and liberate France all in one turn. -------------------- Work Smarter not Harder
