I got ****ing lucky. First turn, Germany and Japan each take no casualties in initial attacks, Germany has enough stuff to hold eastern Europe. Third turn - Germany attacks Ukraine with like 10 infantry and a boat load of fighters, gets no hits, and 7 out of my 9 infantry hit. By turn 7 Germany was daed
and he conceeded. Japan was still in Yakut.

Africa is crucial for the axis - my strategy is to let the germans spread themselves thin all over africa and middle east (3 turns or so) and then have USA take it all back. By the time the nazis can make a valid defence of their african posessions, it is usually too late.

Having some comp problems, but will be back in the zone asap.

Well, an Axis player asking for advice. I myself am mainly an axis player, but I play allies enough to help you out.

Us objectives (IMO)
1. Destroy ANY AND ALL German transports leading to africa
2. Keep a constant flow (every other turn) of troops going from Canada to Karelia.
3. Ignore the Japaneese unless they have a chance of taking Western Us, and in that case just build infantry
4. Eventually, combined with a threepronged Britan-Us-Russia attack take Germany.
5. (not always) build a sinkang factory to help an indian factory in Asia
6. Destroy any Japaneese Fleet threatning Brazil or South Africa

Build first turn - For me its 3 transports 4 infantry

I usually reeiforce any British tank in Algeria/French West. Then I land the fighter and bomber there, attack any fleet I can, move my infantry and tank to Canada, and finish my turn. If Japan didn’t attack China (big mistake) I pull back to sinkang and instead build a factory there.

Axis are generally considered to be at a disadvantage playing under the standard rules. If you want to make it even, play Russia no first turn attack and its very very even on who wins.

Nope, just a regular zone worth 1 ipc and having an industrial complex.

Yeah that works well, but the Russians need to hold Lenningrad. By turn 6 this could mean 10 fighters.

I like to put my IC in Kwang because if the nasty little americans get long range air craft, they can reach any ships you build out of japan from AK. If its on Kwang then newly built ships can be out of range. Also its farther away from russia, but not that far from moscow. Plus I like it because if its on Manchiria, its on the front lines. When in Kwang if the russians americans or british make an offencive it can still hold out.

You need to have the Japanese expand into Asia ASAP. They must build IC’s in Asia to achieve this. Send armor into the Russian capital as quickly as you can…

hey it worked!!!
:smile:

Update - If you try this in the Hasbro Interactive computer game with the computer playing Great Britain - the game will freak out and give GB unlimited IPC’s.

The computer GB won’t even try to take it’s homeland back. It builds a factory in India. In the game I played, the computer tried to build 5 aircraft carriers, 250 fighters, and 5000 transports - but could only place 3 because it’s factory was in India. Weird bug!!!

i couldnt download it at first because i didnt have the installation program.
If its the installation program then go to this link:

U get it in a zip file then, maybe that works.

that’s what I thought, thanks

i dont have a headset :sad:

i have a new printer though (hp psc 750), great thing, prints nice stuff. Sooo anyone know a good site where i can download or see A&A maps?

are you using the not-attack rule for russia??
because i think any russian player would attack urk in T1, well i would any way.
then there are 3inf,2tanks, and 1fighter less to attack kar.
then the chance to win the kar fight is not that big, considdering russia build 8inf in kar…

i allso think the you dont have to wait to attack syr in T2, because the indians wont move (iff they’re smart)

or am i missing somthing….??

Yanny:
Sure bro, we can get a game going on the Zone. Do you have a headset (earphones with a mic attached)? If so, then we can get you set up with battlecom. Its much easier than typing messages.

Dezertfish:
I just sent you Battlecom, It’s 2 megs…I hope your email can handel it :smile:
Let me know when/if you get it, K?

The American figher will only fight when Defending. It will fight as a normal figher.

When attacking the Figher is considered Dead weight, it doesnt fight and if the aircraft carrier is sunk the fighter dies unless it can land in that sea zone.

If you are anything like me your game box(or boxes I have 4) are beat up and taped back together repeatedly. Also the rule book can be hard to find. This website has printable rules for most new Hasbro games including all three versions of Axis & Allies.
