I suggest you download TripleA (there are turorials on the forums). You can play against the AI (like GTO I guess), hotseat and online. It rocks.

Using original rules, Germany has no real need for AA guns, especially with the 3 it already starts with. Russia will only have 2 planes for a while, since they will only be able to afford ground troops for the longest time. If it gets to the point where the Allies are attacking Berlin, Rome, or Paris the AA gun is irrelevant. I think the best is to keep one in Germany, one in either Southern or Western Europe (it can move around depending on the situation), and one out somewhere on the Eastern Front.

@Sir:

Aaah, so I was misunderstanding the rules…. :roll:

So if I have an anti aircraft gun in england and someone sends over 3 bomber units, I roll three dice before the combat starts, and every “1” rolled, takes out a bomber unit straight away and they dont get to fight?

Yes, and this is also true if your opponent is sending in forces to attack your territory that contains an AA gun. If they send ANY air units the AA gun gets a single shot at each and every one of them. A roll of 1 will remove that air unit from the attack before they even get to participate.

@Buddhamonster:

You could always play with house rules. I personally like allowing two to fire per territory. Makes AA carry a bit more weight.

this would be TOOO powerful…. in the rules a single AA Gun in a territory fires ONCE at EACH fighter, Then ONCE at EACH Bomber.
so if (some Land Units) 5 fighter and 2 bombers enter a territ …
and the bombers are doing a raid while the fighters (and other land units) are in combat.
that means the AA Gun 1st gets 5 shots at fighters, then 2 Shots at bombers… any ONE’s rolled are hits

If you allowed 2 guns per territ to fire your doubling the chances to kill the planes, with Units that only cost 6 IPC’s. It would be too easy to buy a bunch of AA guns and put them everywhere

With Germany, I will be attacking the USA atl fleet first turn with a submarine. I will be positioning my air force to ensure that the allies can not land in Europe or Africa the first turn (easy to do this time, since i will only need 1bomber and 3fighters in range to wipe out any first turn joint allied fleet that decides to move to africa).
With USA and UK, I will be buying shit tons of Fleet Defense, which will delay my landings by 1 full turn. Russia is going to be in a tight squeeze because of this.

Russia and Japan will be played pretty much the same, except that russia can count on any support through africa being 1 turn late.
