The axis are 2 seperate teams, Italy and Germany in Europe with Japan fighting in Asia and in the Pacific. If you take Africa, it will help your case by giving you I.P.C.'s, but if you don't, the war isn't necessarily lost.

Germany: one objective that i consider secondary for Germany is the taking of Africa. Attack Russia with what you can spare, but make sure that you maintain naval superiority in the Pacific, or you will be defeated by an American amphibious assault. Because of this, it is imperative that you as Japan come to the aid of your allies in Europe. It starts with the most breathing room and can expand quickly if you play it right. Japan: Japan is in most aspects, the easiest axis power to play. Likewise, if Russia is still around by the third turn, the odds for the axis winning decrease each turn due to the economic superiority of the allies. The game is won by the Axis over 90% if Russia is beaten by the third turn. Germany: One of the most important goals for Germany is to crush Russia.
