Hi all,

First time posting. Must say, a very robust site with lots of A&A content.

If anyone is still interested in playing A&A Revised by email, I encourage you to check out the International Axis&Allies Player Association (IAAPA). We are the oldest online A&A club, still going strong for almost 30 years. Our club is free to join and games are free to play with other club members through our website and online dice roller. We also host numerous club tournaments throughout the year that all members are welcome to play,

The only requirement is that you pass a simple test to make sure you understand the rules. That, and you want to have fun playing the best game in the world.

Please visit www.axisandallies.net for more information, or email me spud@axisandallies.net if you have any questions.

@The:

I’d say hit the Solomans with maybe as much air as you can send (if it reaches), but if it can’t reach safely, hit that area with everything you got. Those are the closets transports. The WUS ones are 2 turns away. Hit Solomans, but buy more air for a) defence and b) hitting power because when you go south, he’ll move north/northeast into your path to block you, really putting a cramp in your plans to come back to the defence of Japan.

And if you could post a map or something of what you face, that would be great. But kill transports. Battleships can’t transport men anyway! :lol: :-D

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. My focus is Russia while they’re super weak. I can hit his loaded carrier, and trans with 2 BB’s, an AC and four planes. That should do it, and I can take two hits and won’t mind losing a couple planes.

I anticapted his blocking move too and was considering buying planes. I think I’ll buy 1 plane and all land forces.

Great stuff. Sure makes the game a heck of a lot more interesting! I am in the midst of trying this, and interestingly, Russia broke it’s back on my stack trying to be the first one to strike. Should have been a fairly even fight, but they got diced a bit and their front lines are smashed but left me with 8 tanks and a few guys in EE.

Still though, Allies have 6 transports in immediate play in europe and you have to keep a heck of a lot back to protect WE, Germany, an EE.

@Woodstock:

In this thread, the G1 AC + 3 TRN buy seems to put quite a load on both UK and USA, right to RND2 at least.

If you know what you are doing, then AC+3T can be a very good buy.

If you dont, you can be defeated much easier.

And just FYI…

In Second Edition by Milton Bradley and in the old Hasbro CD (3rd Ed.), control of 2 Allied capitals by the Axis was a defined Axis victory.

I’m going to make sure the US gets that one next game :lol:. Looks like I’ve hijacked this thread. Oh, and btw, Salmon is also very good raw. A true Japanese player eats sushi around J2!

Germany would be ready to rock and roll with an extra 8 in Africa… They would benefit far more than giving the 8 to the Japanese since there is very little to check Japan in the long run in Asia. The Germans would not need to pull troops from Europe to successfully assault Egypt(closing the Suez-sealing off the Indian fleet), and they’d be able to drop reinforcements to prevent an American counter in US1 in Algeria. The Germans can go after the Brit BB in the Med with the BB prtotecting the planes(The BB isn’t needed to protect the transport against the Destroyer in the Med when amphibbing Egypt because the amphib isn’t necessary). The sub could be used to sink the tranny in Canada, hamstrining the Brits efforts in Norway in GB1. They could move both fleets together in G2… without sacrificing Africa. And take 4 IPCs off the Brits in G2 as well… Plus the rest of Africa in G3(would be enough to offset what is lost to US in US2)… Even if the Allies are aggressive in the first round, there is no reason why Germany would be collecting less than 39IPCs(as opposed to 37) in round1, 42 in round 2, and 44 in round 3. This almost guarantees that Germany will hang around no less than 7 rounds(more than likely 8 or 9)… Long enough for Japan to strike down Moscow.

@trihero:

I dunno, I’ve been talking with a very good Revised player and he never will play the Axis unless he has a bid of 8 (1 inf in Libya 1 tank in Algeria).

@Seador:

Personally I find Banzai to be one of Japan’s best advantages as it is. It allows them to forgo expensive art and tank buys and just use Inf for ground wars.

My group uses full NAs too BAGM; for Japan we did the following based on LHTR:

Combined the Suicide NAs into one,
Altered the Fanatical Defenders to "Japanese Inf defend on a 3 in the first cycle of combat when defending a yellow territory. Japanese Inf on islands are not subject to Battleship bombardment.

and are still playing out various “new” NAs. Our current option up for testing is “Total war!”, allowing Japan to build an unlimited number of units on its home territory.

I also come up with something of a new Fanatical Resistance (Dug-In Defenders):

Fukkaku Defenses
The Japanese introduced the tactic of endurance engagements intended to inflict maximum casualties. This tacic called Fukkaku included bunkers and pillboxes connected by tunnels.
All your infantry on islands and Japan are immune to shore bombardment and defend during the opening fire of combat.
