In Search of A Real Answer to My Axis & Allies Problem

I have actually gone so far as to acquire 2 Airfields, but it just ends up costing so much money to bomb Cities & Groups of Russian Tanks that I have no money left for anything else.

One thing I have learned though, while quite effective against Armor & Personnel, Building Gun Emplacements costs money & ends up costing me Life Forces when I need to be attacking.

Here’s the funny part, the A/A Emplacements don’t shoot at all, but my A/A Halftracks do actually shoot at planes, but they won’t shoot at People or Tanks.

As for the BOMBER Advice, they cost too much & take too much time to acquire to make them worth having. My Best Advice for Myself is Attack Hard & Attack Fast.

DOODE!!! At Around 11:30 PM Tonight, after at least 45 Days of Battle I Defeated the Russians at Stalingrad & I have moved on to the next campaign where I must Take Australia away from the British.

Yeah, the only problem with that idea is that the longer you wait to strike, that allows the Russians (The Computer) to keep coming after you until you are ready to strike back & by that time, they are in your face destroying your base.

Now this Japan (Vs.) Australia Scenario is interesting as it is similar to the Crete Scenario, just with some added Oomph.

Japan Attacks Australia with among other things 2 Yamato Class Battleships, 2 Shokaku Class Aircraft Carriers, Landing Barges that come from The Battleships & 4 Engined Nakajima G8N Renzan “Carrier Based” Long Range, High Altitude Bombers. Somebody got carried away when they made this scenario.

:? snickle, frickle, grickle, crack  :? **I had taken Cairns & Brisbane & almost had the Central Beachhead Secure. I had eliminated my little island operations to gain money & had reduced My Primary Island Base of Operations by half for the same purpose. I had 2 additional Corp HQ’s on Australia, with Armor, Infantry & Mech Support in addition to a Complete Navy Force that I was using for Aerial Bombardment. I managed to take Cairns & Brisbane by a Combination of Banzai Attacks by Paratroopers that I had landed in the rear lines & had them attack each city simultaneously while those Cities & British Bases were being Bombed from the air. I had just lost 2 Complete Contingents of Massed Armor, Mech & Infantry & Paratrooper Banzai Charges on the Big British Base in the Center Rear & was sending in a 3rd Wave……And then the Computer Screen Froze Up & the game shut down…3-1/2 Hours of battle & now I have to do it all over again.

But the next time, I know what NOT to do.**

This game is set in a 1941ish Mode. I don’t suppose there is a 1940 PC Axis & Allies Game like what I have where I can try My Hand at Operation Sealion, is there?

:mrgreen: I Feel BAD Now, because I Defeated The British & Took Over Their Cities in Australia. It was a Combination of Land, Sea & Air that finally did it in for them. The wild part is, I could never make a stand on land with any amount of Landing Forces. It was a Combination of Massive Air Raids while I was performing Paratrooper Banzai Charges at the exact same time, sometimes Bombing My Own Troops in the process. Only took me like 4 Hours (+) that 3-1/2 Hours from last night.

Now it’s on to Kursk, where I just discovered The Tanks have Headlights that work.

**Well, even though the computer said I successfully defended the Beaches at Normandy & I won the Battle, twice now I haven’t done anything but retreat in order to regroup & the second time I didn’t even get to fight anyone before Rommell’s Forces just gave up & “WE” Lost.

However, having won “The Battle” the previous day, I was able to proceed to Operation Sealion.

Today it took Me about 3 Hours, but I Conquered ALL of England & I got to watch The Cinematic End to The British Isles, but not to The Empire, where I now find Myself as Japan Invading India in an attempt to bring The British Empire to it’s Knee’s.

It doesn’t look like this is going to be easy.

I also need to go back & see if I CAN Repel The Invaders at Normandy as well.**

**I don’t know. If you accept the fact that you won the campaign when the computer says that you have & you stop right there, which I don’t, because I Desire to Completely Annihilate My Enemies to the Last Man, I don’t know if there is an Alternate Ending to the End of The Campaign Film.

I Defeated The Russians at Stalingrad but did not completely Destroy all of Chukov’s(?) Forces, but still managed to Win the Campaign & Move to the Next Mission.**

**I wonder if there is a way to Bypass India? The British are Determined to stay there & since it’s only India, what’s the Big Deal? I mean, eventually The Indians will Revolt against their British Oppressors, right?

Maybe a New Approach is in order. Surrender perhaps?

Something tells me though I need to try that BOMBER Approach & see what happens.**

I have tried everything I can think of to do & I can’t make any headway against the British in Burma. I finally figured out that India is after Burma. Obviously John Wayne is Fighting on The Brit Side, as that would explain my not being able to get anywhere.

@Lozmoid:

Also, build TONS of Anti-Aircraft Guns around your bases. I didn’t have any problem with John Wayne though; I think he evacuated along with the British High Command in India when their forward sappers could hear the low rumble of my mechanised units approaching Calcutta…

Crack on with it my son, you’ll get there!�  :-)

Well now, you see, there is only one problem with that bit of advice, although I did do something interesting about the 8th time in Burma, but Building an Excess of A/A Defences cost a LOT of Money, Ammo & Supplies & I have to wait for everything to recoup before I can make any serious damage elsewhere.

Now, about the 8th try in Burma, I kept thinking about that little hill that you had to cross to get into Delhi(?), well, the Brits hads to cross it to get to your Base as well, so I built a Half Moon Shaped Defensive Line made up of as follows: A/A. Pillbox, Artillery, A/A, Pillbox, Artillery, Etc,…. Until I went from the Beach, up the hill & back down again down to the stream, with intermittent Artillery & Pilloxes placed in other Strategic Places.

In the end, I Lost again, but it took those Brits a while to punch through that Defensive Line.

Now in England I surrounded My Entire Base with A/A Guns & I shot down every plane that came my way.

Now, being the Ruthless Leader that I am, Yesterday I Sacrificed 3 Tank Brigades & about 10 Regiments of Infantry Attacking a British Tank & Halftrack Army that was coming down the Hill with a Combination Banzai Charge & a Zero Kamikaze Plane which pretty much took out the whole ensemble in that area.

I hate to admit it, but it was Funny.
