Damnit! Nothing! This buggy piece of crap, memory leaking SOB of a program… grrr…

Yeah, there isn’t much the Axis and do to counter a large US and UK build of transports other than squander the Luftwaffe in a decisive battle of the Atlantic. Of course the problem is that this cost you in the long run, due to the plane’s invaluable defensive and offensive firepower.

Key word is the Allied Navy. Now granted that you can pull all available troops in Europe and hit Karelia with a super stack, you still have a good chance of winning even against 18 inf, 3 ARM, 2 ftrs. However, there’s no way that the surviving force can poke through Russia on G2, especially if the Russians have reinforced entirely with inf. This is where the Allied Navy comes in, when you busy building ARM for an invasion force and have to wait for supplementary inf to arrive on time, chances are that UK and USA will be hitting you in Western Europe or Worst Yet(!) Germany itself – game over.

Under normal A&A with 3rd Edition Rules, I would strongly advise against this. The reason being is that subs can be sunk easily, especially by UK’s RAF the following turn. This also screw you out of 5 valuable inf that could be used elsewhere.

However, with House Rules A&A Sub-pens, Coastal Blockading, Detection Rules, and Wolf Packs, having an IC is Western Europe can certainly be well worth the risk. It adds a new dimension to the Atlantic War limited not only to the air.

buy it yourself dude. (locking this post)

Darn! We have to stop agreeing! 8)

Well I don’t think Manchuria is that much of a problem (I’ve posted this before, and found out the Manchurian invasion is a big no-no. However, Finland provides a no-brainer in favor of RR since Russia risk almost nothing in trying to take it.

True. How 'bout this, for every neutral country worth a damn, it generates 2 IPC but cost 6 IPC (so you still to wait three turns to equal out the income) and with at least 2 inf (or a combination of ARM) to invade. And for every “worthless” country (ex. Afgan, ect.) it cost 3 IPC to invade with at least 1 inf and generates 1 IPC. Of course you still have “heavies” like Saudi Arabia, but I’ll include them into the 2 IPC bracket for now. :)

Lol The Princess Bride
…Great movie!

My advice, fight the Eastern Front to contain the Russians outside of Eastern Europe, forcing them to choose between defending between Karelia or Ukraine if you need those 3 extra IPCs to end the game. Use the rest of those forces to protect WE and Africa. Remember a D-Day can ruin the Axis attempts at an EV. I’m interested in hearing your calculations on how to do it.

Well I like Axis and Allies: Europe style SBRs. It seems only logical that interceptors and escorts would duel over the skies (though I’m not sure why the ATK/DEF stats aren’t the same) instead of just bombers barreling through AA fire.

Of course I like this one by heavyweight boxer Tony Galento

“I’ll moider da bum.”

Tony Galento, when asked what he thought of William Shakespeare

Well you certainly wouldn’t be the first one :wink:

But seriously, Don’s Eassys are more of a template to build you own strategies. From a military standpoint, even his moves can be countered.

Yeah, it’s not exactly easy on the eyes. :cool:

Pulling out of Eastern Europe is a deathtrap! But seriously, you’re screwed if you did and screwed if you don’t since you’re know forced to defend two separate territories along with the unbearable 3 IPC loss. But anyways, Western Europe is probably the most feasible and the most advantageous of all the territories to take with USA and UK. But if you can position your transports correctly, you can strikes all German territories at once depending what is the most heavily under-defended.

Hahaha thanks (k i’ll stop now :smile:)

Well you better start getting yourself a piece of the action! :smile:

Haha Xi, still more computer problems I see. If you are forced to post anonymously that many times than I would think it would be you computer.

¡De nada! :smile:

I like the rule. But how you would give infantry to any territory with an IPC value less than 2? Overall it can be a potent rule by insurrecting territories deep into enemy territory or taking isolated strongholds without wasting valuable resources. It’ll take some more play testing to figure this one out.
