Nato attacks Pakistan….oops, sorry about killing your soldiers, my bad

Normandy Invasion was in first, but in the end could only muster fourth place at the Kentucky Derby.  The owners of said horse had feelings very similar to those of us who ever dare to play Allies in G40.  We, too, always feel like we could have won but instead finish in fourth place.  Just sayin.  ;)

Only when he ate cauliflower or broccoli.

@Smacktard:

Clinton was corrupted long before he became president. The guy was/is a habitual liar and womanizer. But murderer? That’s a bit of a stretch.

This.  Gotta find an excuse to dispel any guilt from simply hating someone…

@Cmdr:

bump for the new year.

Merry Christmas everyone (or your respective holiday season.)

Thank you.

I think F_alk’s just toying with you now.

I used to be somewhat of a grammarphile and hated it when people didn’t use correct grammar and spelling.  Nowadays, if I can understand what you wrote, I don’t worry about it.  But to answer your question:

let’s & wrong

:-P

Eh, I’ve got no particular take on ‘em. I suppose they could be cool, but I’ve never liked the whole atmosphere of collectable stuff. Give me good ol’ Diplomacy any day :D.

For the allied side I could see the U.S. South Korea, and maybe the U.K.
There is a chance that China would send “volunteers” to help North Korea.

For the second question that would be hard to say both Koreas would be hurt although the North would probably be hurt more cause of U.S. Air Power!

For the third question I would have to say it would depend. If on the battlefield maybe, Seoul or U.S. soil YES we would respond in kind!!

first– greetings to all,
it’s good to see some nice discussion.

i’d like to know how many people play with russia not being able to attack in the first turn?

i haven’t played a+a in quite some time (hmm. almost 5 years) and i’ve recently started playing with a couple of new people who are quite skilled players (which is nice) however, when i played before russia was never allowed to attack first. these guys play with the russian’s being able to attack first. i don’t know if it’s my skills being rusty or what. . .but i haven’t been able to have a dominating win with axis yet!! one ipc victory (only because of japan) and two losses. it’s quite frustrating.

help?

If you say these guys are skilled players, then that explains it all. Skilled players don’t loses convincingly when playing the Allies under the normal set of rules.

I just had a dominating victory as the Axis against some friends who have a lot of experience but haven’t played in a while. They are convinced that their poor rolling was the reason they lost so badly. They believe this because there was no single move that they made that proved to be devistating to their objectives. However, it was obvious to me -and my partner- that their over all strategy (or lack there of) was very weak. They should know better.

If these guys have a good understanding of the fundamentals of the game as well as Allied strategy, you are probably going to have to forget about a dominant Axis victory and learn to settle for just a victory.

Good luck
