What is happening with global? Are there more changes?

I am game.

I have only played the AI a handful of times.  Not sure about game balance or bids or any of that.

Willing to play Allies.

galendae@yahoo.com  shoot me an email if you can find half a day.  I am on vacation for next 10 days.

Anti-aircraft units are/were embedded with combat commands at varying levels and always go “forward” with the command they fall under during offensive operations.

I think it would have been ok if the rules from the get go permitted an “attack” with AAA.

Going to start a HR rule thread on this.

@WILD:

So how’d it go, what did you end up doing?

I listened to you guys and didn’t attack! Waited 2 turns and we ended the game on G6 or 7, I don’t recall properly!

The Russians continued to back, and 2 turns later (G6), I attacked Russia with the Inf + Art group that were built in G1-2. Some tanks + mech joined the battle. Something like 16 art, 31 inf, 11 mech, 17 tank, 3 fighters 5 tactical 2 bombers (I decided to divert part of my airforce to punish a British + US mistake - my airforce was stationned in Leningrad, and there were many transports unassisted)

I crushed Russia with around 10 tanks left + airforce. I crushed UK transport fleet. I blocked US fleet inside Norway/Danemark (he went in) by retaking Danmark.

Overall, I won, because I waited for the additional inf + art :O (Russia only built Inf this game, was that a mistake? He only fell back, and never counter-attacked)

edit : Going from my memory (Saturday feels so farrrr), here is the big battle for Moscow :
Germany :
31 inf, 16 art, 11 mech, 17 tank + 3 fig, 5 tac, 2 bomber

My numbers are probably a little bit off…

vs
Russia
61 infantry, 8 art, 3 mech + starting offensive units… (1 tank? 2 fig? 1 tac?)

After my victory over Moscow and the Atlantic fleet, the allied surrendered. Japan was also at India’s doorsteps, but was far from taking the last remaining Victory city

EDIT #2 : What happens to Mongolia rule when Russia capital is taken? Do the Mongolians still spawn if Japan decides to attack?

I play every weekend on the table top when we get bored with the latest Alpha we’ll change it up and do any one of the different versions,  original OOB from the first release to Oztea’s 41 set up, theres also games like fortress America….or the old classic. I dont think I’ll ever get bored with the games.

Guten Tag Mein Freund und Wilkommen!  :-D

Check out this link from A&A.org’s own home page, it has a pretty good global map (click the map to expand)

I don’t understand the point of this thread. Are you supporting a kill Russia first strategy or are you simply giving us a play by play of a game you’re playing?

Tally one for the Axis this weekend.  It was a good war and the Axis won a few key battles with some luckier rolls than the Allies ,  no Sea Lion or fake Sea Lion just Barbarossa .  Japan went after China and the Soviet Union on one,  set up for landings in the Philippines Aleutians Hong Kong the Pearl Harbor battle and Borneo I also put pressure on ANZAC with my Carrier and Destroyer from the Caroline Islands.  I brought the Carrier and planes up to hit Hawaii along with the Destroyer . J1 was 2 Trans and 2 Subs. J2 was 1 Carrier 1Dest 2 Subs 1Trans.  J3 was a Minor Fact, Inf, Art enough to fill my Trans and the rest on Navy.  I was lucky on a few key battles to keep the USA at bay time after time, of the 4 times I’ve pulled Japan out of the cup,  the Axis have won 2. My Axis partner, this was the first time he’s pulled Germany, he’s had 10 or so games to see how everybody else has played the Axis.  Yes Japan has taken some real beatings.
