It is important to tailor your strategies to take advantage of the
strengths of a particular country and general; while at the same time avoiding both their
weaknesses and inferior units.
As with any successful
strategy within Axis and Allies, you must be ready to counter the tactics and strategies of your opponents.
Reconnaissance is key! You can't be prepared if you don't know whats coming.
Strengths
1. SaS: They are the strongest infantry against all infantry and the second strongest infantry against mechs. Along with having 2 sniper units in their squad, SAS has a 2 defense, which differs from the typical 1 defense of most infantry. Their armor can even be upgraded to 3 defense with Special Forces for even more durability. This upgrade is a must have when going against mechs.
2. Economy: British HQ's cost less than those of any other country, which allows players to produce more buildings in less time, and in turn helps to bolster their economy .
3. Airpower: Second best airpower in the game, only missing the Napalm upgrade available exclusively to the USA.
"The U.S. has broken the second rule of war. That is, don't go fighting with your land army on the mainland of Asia. Rule One is don't march on Moscow. I developed these two rules myself." General Montgomery - regarding US approach to the Vietnam War
Weaknesses
1. AT-Mech: In mech versus mech battles, British AT-Mech are only superior to those of Japan, which are rarely seen in online play; although better versus infantry than Russian AT-Mech due to better halftracks and the Improved Machine Guns upgrade.
2. Armor: British Armor , while not particularly bad, isn't their strong point either.. Mostly because they are mising the all-important Gyrostabilized Tank Guns upgrade. Although they have a unique armor regiment in the Flame Tank , which can have devastating effects on enemy morale.
""I should like to pay the highest tribute for the most gallant fight put up against impossible odds" Admiral Tovey - After the sinking of the Bismarck
General Wavell Wavell is Great Britian's second strongest general, as he is fortunate enough to have a Carpet Bomb . However, the rest of his special ops have little to no use and/or impact in online play.
