Scenario 2 is by far the hardest and most difficult challenge for the Allied player among all of the scenarios presented in the game. Simply put, sacrifices will be made, ships will be lost, and backs will be stabbed. If you are playing a full game through either the campaign game or linked scenarios, you will suffer in this one. The Axis will take the lead and at this point and you will begin the long climb back to parity. However, what if you are just playing scenario 2 and have no intention of linking it with other campaigns? Can you do well? Can you win the game? The answers are probably not and maybe, in that order. No, the odds are stacked against you and having a good showing is almost out of the question. If you are doing well, the Axis player has seriously erred or else the dice have melted due to your luck. However, winning is another matter but it will require some sacrifice and determination and some help from luck.
I am writing this article with the assumption that you, as the Allied player, want to win this scenario, not just survive it as part of a longer game. Survival is an entirely different matter and I will discuss that perhaps in a different article. Suffice to say that the advice I am giving here is definitely not the same as I would give for the campaign game. So let’s look at what you want to happen, what the Axis want to happen, and what you can do about it.
