The Big Egypt gambit (long)

In games where the Axis is given a bid the Russians can begin to be in trouble by turn 5 or 6. This is because its usually at point that the Germans have enough quantity of troops on the ground to begin a walkthrough the Cauc strategy via Ukr in order to back Russia out of Karelia. If they can do this and have Japan at the same time take and hold Novo then its lights out for Russia sooner or later. The best tactic is to strafe Moscow with the Germans and then finish them off with the Japs.

well i just tried the tek thing:

I agreed to give germany +2 men in eastern europe. Russia for some reason didn’t defend karelia very well, and it fell hard. Then germany lands it’s air in western europe, and uk get’s lucky and destroys all but 2 fighters. Then I roll 6 tek, get heavy bombers and super subs. So I kill the remaining fighters. Sadly russia wouln’t listen to me, and doesn’t defend russia, instead takes more territories from japan (giving money to germany) russia falls, and we surrender because the axis will easily get 84.

But if russia didn’t play so bad it would have worked…

USA should help but it is not a priority usa does this by sendig its eastern fighter to the most western part of africa it can also send its bomber but that would be unwise (you can probrbly geuse why) :lol:

I was at a local gaming convention. This guy had a large, 6x3, Axis and Allies board. He said it was home made, but wouldn’t tell me how to make it unless I went to another convention a few months later, much farther away. I couldn’t go to that convention for various reasons, so I never found out. This board looked just like the one that comes with Axis and Allies. Does anyone know how to make one? Is there a site I can go to with instructions? I thank you all for any help that is given!

I also like Zero’s approach. The Americans usually end up reinforcing the British in the south, while the Brits and Yanks drop infantry into Karelia (if indeed, the allies are strong there). This gives the Russians a chance to move some stuff east.

Oh, and what’s with up with all the Patton quotes? I seems like a lot of people I meet nowadays has them. Better not be left out…

I would think this would be the other way around. First, the Japanese high command was not averse to continuing their war with America. In order to understand this, you have to know high factor national honor is to the Japanese and their Code of the Bushido. Even after the first atomic bomb was dropped, the military leaders still believed with the right combination of AA guns that such bombers and bombs could be hit while still in the sky. The Japanese even experimented with sound vibrations in which to knock down enemy craft! However, with the Russians, the Japanese were caught in a totally different situation. The Japanese knew that if they capitulated, the time would come where the Americans would eventually leave. If the Russians had occupied Japan, the Japanese knew that they might never leave. This largely mirrors real life as Russian and Japan are still disputing over some of the Northern Islands of Japan since the end of WWII.
