Allies have always intruiged me because they have to work as a team to win and most wargames don’t have that inbuilt into the game… I like the US because it has to deal with two threats at once to really help out the most which require some planning and patient execution…

Sounds like a new poll idea!

Yea, I never said it was a good strategy, but it does give you the option of really decimating the allies early on.

Well, I ended up winning the game. Very interesting and by far the most fun game I’ve played. It would have seemed that Russia was going to fall but America was going to take the monster opponent Japan who was getting loads of territories. However, I took Borneo East Indies and all his Islands so that he only averaged 40 income. America had 4 BBs, 2 DD, 3 AC, 16 Ftr w/ LRA, 8 Trn w/ 2 Arm and the rest Inf, 2 subs, and a small UK fleet floating with them for more firepower on defense… I eliminated his 5 BBs, 4 DD, AC with 2 Ftr, 3 Trn with 6 Inf. I then took Tokyo and from there it was all downhill… UK managed to get it’s places back and be a threat again and Russia always had an average of 28 income the whole game. My opponent put up a good fight but then again I was against two friends and the one who is still a newb at the game made some poor decisions and thus when he had to leave my other friend had to take his spot. Many times we were both thinking it was pretty even.

KJF - always a fun game

I have attached a map of pickup and drop zones in the North Atlantic from a US perspective. You have to remember that if your Eastern fleet is dropping into Archangel or Karelia from Z04 then you can’t get to the Baltic in one move. You are stuck with going to Norway or WEU for a turn before moving to the Baltic.

The Baltic is generally preferable, though not always possible.

BTW - This is from Caspian Sub’s paper on US shipping (Paper #2). http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Caspian_Sub/

Kill Japan. If you do it right, Japan has no chance to survive. America does become a beast, but that’s okay because England and Russia out number Germany, thus they can defend nicely and wait it out.

There are a few threads already posted on bidding and how to do it…

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=1146.0
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=5580.0

Those should get you started.

You can also read the essays on the subject at DAAK
http://www.daak.de/indexe.php?sprache=e
(click DAAK-club rules along the left side, bidding is the second topic that will come up in the main window)

That should get you up and running.

If you still have questions after reviewing those, please feel free to ask :-)

Started playing in 1990. Currently playing an informal tournament with 2 friends. It’s gonna take us 24 games to play every combination of team/countries, and we are only starting game 4 next week. I have always loved the game, but took a 10 year hiatus at one point…. lack of players near me.
