The Axis Advantage is Bigger Than You Think.

@rommel13579
I also don’t use my mechs to attack.

@Sgt-Mclusky Unlike previous renditions of A+A I find that AA40 has so many options and paths to victory that were still playing it and seeing new strategies in my group. Granted I was late to the party with this version so I don’t have years of experience, but we do play an awful lot, and almost never see the same game twice.

If the fighters die, Taranto is weakened.

Its a small exaggeration, a couple of my bombers always die, you’re going to want 6.  And I agree with you im building mechs and tanks and going east.

Gargantua said hes buying 6 tanks with Russia, I haven’t tried that.  Seems like so few infantry you only have like 20-23? or so to start with its tiny.

I’m going to get routed south in my current game (167 Axis) but im still going to take novogrod on G3 with ease, whatever his posture that’s a gimme.  Italy has 3 tanks and 3 mechs on the continent.  Attacking the Syrian air  stack left after Taranto wasn’t a good idea I lost 2 bombers.

I wouldnt do it either.

It is close but I think you lack one hair on the heads of your wehrmacht to be successfull. Lucky dicerolls aside.
On the other hand, bad dicerolls will ruin everything for you because this situation is so… ‘on the edge of a knife’ if you know what I mean. You have no room to translate bad dice into cheap losses. Normal dicing from the UK will hurt you very much already, let alone a few losses more!

Consider to send 1 or 2 of your FTR into the channel as well if you DO go for the invasion, to be absolutely safe if the UK decides to scramble. If you don’t you may loose just a lot of aircraft and not even get 1 land unit into London.

So I take it you suggest keeping manch kaput and move korea into manch and keep kaput.

guess you doing J3 declare war. but then your transported will get blocked so you can only nab malaya borneo and pinoy. (I guess you can hover over a spot with the transport that starts from japan over sumatra).

but if you leave them there on J1 russia moves west and enters through the backdoor of china, he’ll get to kansu before you.

Remember this:

Hitler, in trying to defend everything, could defend nothing.

I always try to be proactive in my sea and land defenses, but if you see the Allies attempting to land, pull back, build artillery and counterattack when the Allied airforces and navies can’t hit you. The exception is Germany, West Germany, Denmark. But you should defend 5 tt’s from the US (perhaps 6 depending on the Med): France, WGer, Ger, Den and Greece (and maybe N. Italy or Rome…)

Yeah too many rules too many games we keep catching ourselves saying " is that this game? oh no It’s the other one"

This thread shouldn’t just be in A&A Global 1940.  I suggest creating a main thread, and stickying a sub-thread in each forum that refers to the main thread.
