Can allies win?

What do you mean by a special way? I have

played many people who feel that they were

very good at the game and they weren’t in my

circle/network. So yes I have played many

people. Also let me clarify being undefeated.

This means that I haven’t lost when I play

as the axis or allies against another person.

However, I was paired with a person before

and we lost as a group. The key for me is

complete command and control of one side or

the other. Yes I do think that you see many

different ways or viewpoints when you play

against your self. I would advise all of you

to try it. Give me some feed back. I saw one

person that mentioned playing the game in

later rounds as a key to success. This is

true. It is also true that the style of play

makes a significant difference in later rounds.
The axis and the allies must be played with

an understanding that regardless of tactics

the styles for both sides are different.

That style is determined by the 3 on 2
countries. I will brush up a little bit

and set up a game with one of you. I am as

eager to play and learn as you all are. Gavin

I can hadbly belive that these anonymous guy has not lost. I have a group of friends and have been playing for a while. Normall y I win like 45% of all of my games. When I play outside my group of frieds I normally have a 90% win ratio. Whats the lesson Winning or loosing means nothing, it all depends on the quallity of your opponentes. Well I do agree that the key for a Allie win its to coordinate all of the available fire power.
When I play with the allies my overall strategy its the following:
Russia most hold, these its eassilly done by massing all of the infantry in Karelia. UK must consentrate its first efforts in Africa. UK can eassily destroy all of Germanies troops in Africa on the second or third turn. USA must consentrate all of his efforts in harrasing Japan. All US troops must be moved to India.

well, my email adrress its hector@ufm.edu,gt for players in Guatemala

Sorry to be another Anonymous user but was reading this thread and just had to jump in with both feet. While Mr. Anonymous might be a very good player I also find it very hard to believe he has “never lost” but that is not why I am posting. I feel (as if you all care) that no matter how good the plan or its execution it really dose all just come down to the dice. I know that a well executed plan can go a long way moving you closer to victory but how many games have you played when the “Big” attack comes (35 inf, 15 Armor, 5 planes vs 45 inf, 1 AA or something like that) you get the King of the Crap rolls and get less then 10 hits and WHAM!! the defender rolls some GOD roll and hits like 25 or more times. This of course swings the game totally against your. Who could for see it? No one, and that is my point. No matter how good you are, how many years you play, how good your plan all it takes is a few bad rolls and that is all she wrote. Yeah you could say that everyone gets good and bad rolls in every game but I am talking about the “KEY” rolls in the game when you say “Well this is the game” So let me ask you what percentage of the game do you think is:

Your PLAN
Your DICE

I think it is 60/40. So just like any of you Great Leaders of Men I to have an a**hole … I mean opinion.

Thx,

Your statements may be true…or maybe not. Your opponents may be die hard’s…or maybe not. We are not here to tell you what you know is false, we are only here to be critics, observers, and learners…

But what I would like to see from you, is your views on other posts in this discussion board…what are your insights in the strategies we all debate on. Show us the light. Intrigue me, delight me with your wisdom. I’m dying to know…

I eagerly await your views…

I will have to agree with Damage on this one. Lets say you are the Axis player give use a run down on lets say your first 1 or 2 turns. Take in mind possible losses (or in your case maybe not). Please do not cop out with a post saying that you do not want to give away any secrets for I am sure we have all seen pretty much everything that could happen at least once.

Thanks,
DaBluemax

I was hoping that you would give a bit more details then that last post.

Is it just me or did you just post a message that didn’t say a dang thing. I realize that it all depends on things but try to be a bit more exact like:

5 inf to EE, buy tranny first, ect …

Hell in that case I could just say the key to winning the game is to do something good and when the other player makes a bad move be sure to do a second good move bla bla bla but I think we all got that same plan. What I am looking for are some details.

From one Anon to another….

It appears to me…Anon…or King Tiger, sorry…that you should cut your losses on this conversation as I don’t think there is anything you can say that will change the minds of the readers on this forum which is, I believe, to say that you sounded awefully arrogant in your initial post.

Perhaps you are a skilled tactician / A&A gamer and have had much success. If it were me though, I would NEVER have said, “I have never lost” …even if it was true. It’s been my experience in life that nobody likes hangin out with a “know it all”.

Now, if you were to play me, you would win as I…ahem…usually lose, which is why I like to read some of the comments on the forum. Sometimes bad decisions…sometimes bad luck…sometimes a combination of the two.

I would think that putting ones money where ones mouth is would be in order here. Perhaps if you beat, and beat, and beat some of the players on this forum, you MIGHT restore some of the credibility that you instantly lost in your initial commentary. I still don’t think that the “I have never lost” comment would fly though.

Good luck in making new friends on the forum…which you seem to have a handle on already.

Mylo

P.S. One thing that just occured to me, if I NEVER lost, I would quickly become bored and would have moved on to a more challenging game…WAY before 8 years. Do you ever get bored of playing A&A ??

I enjoy reading the forums for information about A&A and to hope and learn new ideas from other players, and/or help others on some advice that may help them in the game. But it gets silly to read some players’ boosting their ego about how of an “invincible player” they are and not writing in anything useful. Except to challenge and demeaner everyone’s expertise, and skill of the game. There are good players and not so good players, lets help each other instead of everybody “flexing their muscle” at one another.
Can’t everybody just get along??
