As the Axis I beat the Allies, controlled by the hard AI.

The Allies had a 30 IPC bid, 10 IPCs per power.

To be honest, this game along with this game

really underscores just how inept the AI, even the best one, is when it can’t beat me even with a 30 IPC bid (and I’m not particularly good either).

Welcome, tryon!

From the image you referenced, you’re playing the 1st Edition, the forum for which can be found here. OutlawUnForgiven’s comments about air unit suicide missions apply to both editions.

Hi again. Bombers can do Strategic Bombing against a Factory and damage them. This makes placing units harder or more expensive.
Battleships and Cruisers can aid in an amphibious assault; that is called a Bombardment.

Im making flags, work in progress. I work in a kitchen so…using the top of mini tabasco bottle for base, about the size of classic aa gun. Heat paperclip to make hole in center. Insert tooth pick…ta da… flag pole. Will glue tiny metal washer to bottom if needs more weight but seems fine fight now. Next take plastic coffee stirer and cut in half, melt one side closed. Glue or tape paper flag to stirer. Place tabasco base on vc then add controlling flag on top. Can easily swap out controlling flags to new owner…gonna print 20 ea flags 2 sided for each of the 10 nations. Gonna color copy roundels for graphics. Gives 20 stands and 200 flags for all possible out comes. You never know, france may conqure the map!

@Petebu:

So at this time who do think has the advantage? I have not played yet and it looks like the Axis has an advantage. Can you also give me some good advice as I will be playing the Axis? Thanks.

i would agree axis are a bit strong but not ridiculously so.

@Striker:

@Mallery29:

One million-kajillion posts

Your debate would carry more weight if you acknowledge the existance of the edit/modify button. ï¿½ Presentation matters.
I see a a large amount of cherry picking, strawmanning and assumptions.ï¿½ Â If you two are so sure of your strategies, play a game against eachother and prove them.

Added nothing to the discussion. Good job Striker. I know 42 better than Global…that’s why I don’t post strats in Global, I just ask questions…same with 41…only played it twice, said what I saw, and that’s it…

How many turns on average does a game take?

Full, 5-person turns. I’m imagining like 10 turns?
