The Axis should not win unless you really out maneuver the allies. By 1942, the axis were really in a bad spot since they had not made enough gains before the US onslaught came. If you want a historically accurate game, meaning not having to play it the way the war really went, but being to make your own decisions with the conditions that existed in 1942, and want a balanced game, 1942 is not the year to start.

I would love to see a 1939 game, but I wonder if that would be too long. The 1940 2nd edition in my opinion is where you should stay. I know there is a 1941 game but have not played it.

Just have fun. These games can be very long… Which is why I like to go wild in live games.

prepare to invade london with germany, remember to buy a carrier and 2 transports for the first round or carrier destroyer sub. Second round if you have not purchased a destroyer on the first, buy one and the rest transports. prepare to invade!

Have italy kill the french naval or ram into the stuff by gibraltar, because you don’t want that defending london.

Sea lion is real fast, you get london on germany round 3 or you don’t. Russia pushes in europe and you kick him out or you don’t. Simple as that.

As far as Japan goes, that is up to you. The simplest strategy is to draw an imaginary line from Japan to calcutta… and take everything along the way and the dutch islands.

I want to clarify, Alpha 3 votes will convert to Alpha 2 if Larry does not give us Alpha 3 until after the tournament starts. However, he should have it out long before the tournament starts, I hope.

Signups will have a new thread once we determine if we want partners (which can be fun, but trying if your partner get the Flu or has to go out of town!) or singles and which ruleset. I won’t even start the thread until mid August at the earliest due to IRL stuff.

Partners would have to partner up before enlisting in the tournament. If there are singles that cannot find a partner, they can elect to be added to a list and I’ll pair them up, first come, first paired. Assuming we go partners not solo.

Teams would be:

Axis:
Player 1: Germany/Italy Player 2: Japan
Allies:
Player 1: England, India, Australia, France Player 2: Russia, America, China

8 hours of a Global game (Axis seems too hard..again)

@Wakrob:

As per my play with A&A1940 Europe, I feel Axis has it very rough in the Global version.

Our game-
G3 takes London after obliterating Brit navel presence in the first two turns. I hadnt realized how many planes could get there.
Japan chooses not to go to war with anyone but Russia until J3.
Italians rolled bad in almost every engagement.

I think slow rolling Japan might have been a bad idea. The money it prevented US from getting seemed more than offset by the easy Dutch/ANZAC National Obj bonus’ the allis got. And Italians never had much luck, Cairo never fell.
But you’d think taking 35 IPC’s from London and pretty much locking UK out of the game on the western hemisphere should be an easy win.
Germany staled out in Russia after taking Leningrad. US eventually staged 7 full transports, 2 full Carriers and a Battleship off Gibralter. Germans 4 Fighters and 4 Tact Fighers guarding London decided to strike first at the fleet and failed. US takes back London next turn easily. Axis player concedes at 1:30am in the morning after about 7 turns.
German had held London for about 4 turns.

My opinion stands that Axis have it very hard in this A&A version.

Wak

ARGH!!! You had the game man, you had it! If Germany can knock England out of the war it is very difficult for the Allies to come back from it. Attacking the US navy from England is difficult if not impossible since they can build twice the amount of IPCs you’re making every turn in the Atlantic. You had 8 planes in England, all you had to do was shuck enough infantry there to defend it and you’re golden. Let the Americans be the ones sinking tons of money into transports to retake England while you’re already sitting pretty with your own transports and tons of inf from W. Germany to reinforce. With 8 planes as defense those 7 loaded transports would have had no chance if you’d had a stack of 10+ infantry present.

I’m guessing sorry-bitch-ass Italy was in danger so you felt you had to attack in the Atlantic to save them. It was easier to me to defend against the US Gibraltar threat by reinforcing Italy with my own inf/tanks from W. Germany fora few turns until they get enough infantry made to hold the capital.
