If Britain purchases nothing but bombers, the Germans will gain more I.P. swing than the bombers can inflict. If BRitain purchases tech, they are simply hoping on a wing and a prayer. All the tech suck for Britain but heavy bombers and maybe longrange aircraft. If someone purchases a whole bunch of bombers just run over them with land units. Build an A.C. in the south to fill out your fleet once you have ramped up I.P. with Germany and then move it up north and land on them. If BRitain does nothing but build bombers they become inconsequential. Sure they take out more money that it cost them to build but they also have far less money than your mighty German empire. If they invest allot of money in tech and get lucky they get lucky. Full on bomber is a crap strategy. The Axis is really hard to play. Try to be more efficient on the eastern fornt and don’t lose tanks. Lose infantry. Very often you see people say that the everyone gang up on GErmany strategy works. It doesn’t, a frugile and efficient Germany can hold out and do severe damage while an unchecked Japan will soar up to insane revenue. Frugile, efficient, and conservative GErman play and strong Japanese play are required. Don’t pay attention to the advice on sites to build a factory with Japan. Build trnasports. Always attack Pearl Harbor. If the U.S. doesn’t engage the Japanese in the Pacific, Japan should crush Russia easily and the game will turn towards the axis as Russia is left staring at their 8 I.P. per turn without bombing runs.
Question: Strategic bombing raids.
-
My question is pretty simple – what does the target of a strategic bombing raid DO if he cannot afford to pay the lost funds with the IPC’s he currently possesses? Does he lose the game? Does he carry over the debt into his next turn? Does he simply lose all his IPC’s?
Please advise; thank you.
-
he just loses all his IPCs. Pretty simple, you can’t exactly pay more than you have and it would be very odd to have the damage represented by the attack be carrier over to four or so months later, at least in my mind.
-
I’m too lazy to look, but I am pretty sure it says something about that in the book and Bossk is correct, you just lose all you have and you have to give up your entire supply of chocolate animal crackers too boot…those darn SBR’s and the chilling effects they have.

And you have to take two shots of Rumplemints Peppermint Shnaps. Thats the way I heard it anyway.

And if You really have bad interest and collect to much debt, the Allies can always hang you out the window for 10 minutes after they stuff your ears and nose with chile peppers

According to the A&A drinking game I found, (I forget where) it depends on which country hits you with the SBR:
Russia: Vodka (of course)
Germany: Schnapps
England: Guinness, etc.
Japan: sake
U.S.:Jack Daniel’s
Hope this helps :P -

Nothing against you Biggs, but I was almost certain Jefe and his magical web searching/too much free time on his hands abilities would produce this link first, grats on beating him to the punch :D
Favorite part of the game: Any player who wins a battle has the right to take a shot from the player who was defeated.
I have defeated you, now I drink you booze and become merry with your women…classic.
