Are you looking for how many of each navy piece that is supposed to come with the set?

It should be about:

2 Carriers
2 Battleships
6 Destroyers
5 Transports
10 Subs

This is the amount I have in my set.

Guys,

I don’t know how many folks here scan all the boards, but there is a fellow that formed a company called Field Marshall Games, FMG for short. He is making accessories for A&A and is about to release new pieces for the A&A games. The first release will be a complete set of Italian pieces. The other nations will follow and I think this is going to be a great thing. If you have time, check out this thread.

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=13894.0

It is already over 35 pages, so it will take a long time to read. But the essence is he is about to take the next step and take pre-orders for the Italian pieces. I bought a set of special dice from FMG and I am happy with them. He is also selling a dice tower. He plans to add other stuff. I hope he gets plenty of support so he can fund the development of all his projects. Take a look.

It’s a good strategy. The main benefit is it prevents the Allies from landing Algeria on Turn 1-2. Another thing to like about it is you’re credibly harassing the Allies without losing any IPCs on naval units.

I’d probably attack the fleet with the RAF and probably also with the BS and trannies (which I’ll retreat to 8). If Germany submerges, I take a shot with the American bomber. So odds are there’s only 1-3 subs left over to go to the Med. Meanwhile the combined fleet is in 8 (UK buys an AC and a fighter), and I put my Russian sub in 12.

At that point, if Germany moves to the Med I can go to Norway with the combined fleet, while the United States builds up air power to knock out the Med fleet. If the Med fleet moves to Egypt or the Black sea I can land Algeria, which signals the beginning of the end for the Med fleet unless Germany invests in an AC.

Possibly the better move for Germany if 2-3 subs survive in SZ7 is to attack the combined fleet in sz 8 with 5 figs, 2 bombs, and 2-3 subs. However, this is a good battle for the Allies unless Germany has 3 subs. Nonetheless if Germany has 2 subs it might still be Germany’s best option to attack and hope for good dice.

I think this opening has enormous chances of success against non-experts. Against experts I’d prefer to go to Egypt strong and get 5 infantry instead of a bomber.

You can buy replacement pieces for all kinds of war board games, including Axis and Allies at the website

historicalboardgaming

They ship right away.

Depending on how many pieces you want to buy, you may be better off just buying another game, just to get replacement pieces.

@U-505:

I see no reason to use the bomber for SBR’s except when you are losing badly and you need to gamble. It is much more useful as a long range 4 based out of Southern Europe so it can threaten just about anything worth killing.

YES! the BOM is extremely versatile. I use it mainly in North Africa to support operations there and to give naval operations a boost. It never hurts to use it as ground support for a while and then when Germany starts to get a little fatter or thinner in the IPC realm then think about using it as an SBR. I’ve also found that using it in conjunction with submarines, depending on the game, is a great deterent to the US player wanting to use TRNs to invade N. Africa.

It is not really an issue since Russia can land up to 2 ftrs on London before G goes.
Any Allied player that sees a bid of 1 trn to sz 5 and does not land at least 1 Russian ftr on London is asking to get diced by Germany.

London should have at least: 2 inf, 1 rt, 1 arm, 3 ftrs, 1 bom
(bom can even be taken in the first wave of casualties)

With no aa hits for Ger, UK wins about 80% here.

With 4 ftrs, it is up to about 95%.

@jsp4563:

My axioms are:

1st Axiom Don’t do something stupid.

2nd Axiom If you did something stupid, don’t do it again.

3rd Axiom If you’re still doing the same stupid thing…STOP!!!

4th Axiom If you can’t stop doing the same stupid thing, lock your game up in the closet.

:roll:

I’ll admit to the first one for sure. Although, my mistake was more… an oversight than anything. :-P Which, of course, cost me the capital in the second round, from whcih I was never never never able to recover fully. :-o

OK, not sure that came out clear…

Example:
US has $38 to spend. They have 2 existing TRNs in the Atlantic.
US buys 1 TRN, 3 INF and 3 ARM for the Atlantic, leaving $6 IPC, which they save.

The next round, the US has $38 to spend again, plus $6 saved from last round, and now have 3 Atlantic TRNs.
They buy 1 TRN, 4 INF, 4 ART for the Atlantic (4 loaded TRN). With the $8 remaining IPC’s they buy a TRN or SUB for the Pacific.

Round 3 with $38 to spend, they buy 4 INF, 4 ARM to refill their Atlantic fleet, leaving 6 remaining.

Round 4 with $38 plus the 6 remaining, they buy 4 INF, 4 ARM to refill their Atlantic fleet and add a DST to the Pacific.

This strat assumes a solid UK, no cross-Pacific push by Japan, and typical moves in Europe and Asia.

If you start out with this strat, by mid-game, the US has floated a fair navy in the Pacific for Japan to contend with… prior to them massing for a final push on Moscow…

I like to hold back all my Tanks and Fighters on the Eastern Font, say in Eastern Europe, and with a buffer of Infantry in and around them. Then, when Russia stretches out to far, I smash all his major military force in one fell swoop. Should he play smart, and keep playing defensively, I put out a force large enough to cause troubles if Russia ignores it, but small enough to be a temptation for him to destroy, and walk into my dead-zone. Just a thought…
