because russia is the only one that don’t got to react on round 1. ya there are diffrent moves, but each of them can be made with out reacting (short of bids).
@Bean:
Why is Russia 1 excluded? Any player continues to wax and wane between the possible Russia attacks and strategies…
Because in most cases, Russia has the same board configuration each and every time they go to make Russia’s first move. That means they can pretty much make the same attacks, buy the same equipment, etc from game to game with the only alterations to that being a difference of players’ opinion as opposed to Japan or Germany having to move to counter a KGF/KJF or America and England facing a large German fleet instead of a large German army, or what have you.
America, on the flip side, is the least able to build a “pat” routine for USA 1 because Russia could have done splendid, Japan could have left the SZ 52 in tact, England could have fallen to Germany on G1, what have you. There’s no way to know what the board will look like on USA 1. (You can pretty much guess what it will look like and be right most of the time. China will have fallen. SZ 52 fleet will be gone. Russia will be out of Karelia but have W. Russia. England will be nursing a black eye in Egypt, but have fleet and units around for the most part. Germany will be stacked in E. Europe, etc.)
It’s not uncommon for Germany to place bids in Europe, and this will change R1 drastically sometimes.
Understood. However, even the places Germany puts their bids in Europe isn’t too dynamic. If Russia is conservative (like me) they will generally over whelm W. Russia and hit Belorussia. Even with German bid units, these attacks can and should win most of the time anyway, it’s just a matter of degree.
You’re not conservative, you hit Ukraine and W. Russia all the time!

I never said I was conservative with Russia, dear. :evil:
Well, unless I play Switch and only because for some reason the dice gods love him and he scores perfect defense in Ukraine (2 out of 3 times now.)
I never said I was conservative with Russia, dear
yes you did, in the post just above :-P
If Russia is conservative (like me)
(bold added for effect)
Yea, okay. So sometimes I am conservative, sometimes I’m not.
Maybe you shouldn’t try to count on posts made to determine what strategy to employ since games are dynamic. :P
I’ve long since learned that there’s no use discussing with Jen, just play and enjoy the ride >_>

It is those Jenforces that come into play :-D
Jenigma Decoded also has a nice ring to it :wink:
And don’t forget Jenstrike, Jenpack, Jenwall, Jen-lease…
And the one Randmacts found out about the hard way in an FFA recently…
Jentreaty :-D
Nice swithc! :? :-o :lol:
I’m facing teh Jen-boat interdiction right now! :-P
There’s discussion of good policy, then there are games where you might want to try new ideas or have to adjust your policy on the fly. :P
As for Rand, I apologized profusely! It was the nature of the game! Sheesh.
Now, what is Jenpack and Jenstrike?
:-o
I have yet to play Jenifer, but after all the threads I’ve been reading on this site over the last few months, I think that she is just, “JEN-RIFFIC”!! :-D
Happy Holidays,
And may God bless us, every one. :-)
Jen Wall is the un-invadable Germany (Atlantic Wall :-P )
And Jen Strike is the the unstoppable double punch (Joint Strike)
:-D
Jenpack is when she builds 80 IPCs of German navy >_>
Yea, thinking that 80 IPC navy build in two rounds might not be the best idea. I might try it in a tournament against someone I know isn’t experienced dealing with uber navy, but dunno.
That was the first time I’d ever faced that much navy :S
Yea, and it did keep America and England out of Germany for about 9 turns, maybe 7 turns, before they could land anything.
