11L - '41 RisingDragon (Axis) vs DutchmanD (Allies), +NO, -Tech, 9 bid

[RisingDragon]

hey dd, prob not…haven’t played on daak for 3+ years…still learning the ropes on anni too.  good luck tho!

[dutchmand]

Ropes on Anni:

1. Throw out any Revised strats. They are terrible in Anni and will only get you loses.
2. Japs approach Russia via Persia, not across Siberia or China. This is one of the hardest ideas for Revised players to get.
3. Axis really need Egypt to win (unless #8 below is going on). So, accordingly, Allies need to hold it to keep that from happening.
4. Axis cannot afford to trade France in Anni.  It’s worth $11 to the Brits!  Plus it cripples the Germans on the eastern front by stiffling reinforcements that would otherwise head east. The Axis can still win by trading it a little, but you better have a pretty solid plan for why you are trading it or it will end badly for the Axis.
5. Watch out for the Italians on the eastern front! They can open a hole in the front for German armor (otherwise known as the Ruso-Italian Gambit).
6. Axis: Keep the damn Russians from getting that $10 NO.  Once is OK, so long as the Japs are rolling, but more than that and you have major problems.
7. A dead broke UK means Axis win. Break them.
8. If the Germans can camp in Karelia for numerous consecutive rounds, or take caucasus without Russia being able to take it back, game over.
