Personally I'd rather play as Asia, Africa, S. America, N. America, Russia or Europe (in no particular order).

It may depend. a newbie may not understand how valuble Europe may be, but then again if your playing against good players that have had experience with this game, and you choose Europe just because you think its a straight shot to win, therefore you dont want change or have to think of any stratagie, people may go for you.

I depends on your oponents. If russia places all his silos betwenn Leningrad and Moscau and put his fleet in the northern seas your a finished.
If asia knows how to take cairo things are not looking good. Same goes for SA taking NY and WDC.
The key to win with Europe is taking all these big cities. Suisilo is essential as well as a aggressive push in the altantic.
Therefore, not easy to play with but not impossible to win most of the time.

Whenever I play against AI or humans and Im Russia, Europe is my first target. I send my fleet to Europes coast and wait... patiently

I think that some of my most satisfying victories have been as Europe.

-subs and bombers to Russia
-subs to New York, Chicago (sorry Mies and Frank) and Washington
-suisilo to Cairo
-Silos to Sao Paulo and Kinshasa

Then I put a coffee on.

Definitely "maybe" is what I'd say. :P

Can you repeat the question?
