(NO POLITICS) First all 3d Printed Gun fired!

For those interested, I found another article on this topic.  The Pakistan army believes the attack was on purpose, that more are planned and that they plan to deploy air defense systems along the border.  Some comments are made by low level officers where plausible deniability exists by higher ups.  This comment was made by Major General Ashfaq Nadeem, director general of military operations to a Senate committee on defense.  The other articles were from the BBC, this one from Canadian media.

Read Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan or Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind if you want some good reading.

I agree with CC on the UN.

Computers, we could easily do without them. Humans did for 99.9% of our race’s life. Computers have helped saved lives, but only after applying a seperate innovation which was previously related to the computer.

Terrorists, ect are not caught by computers. They are caught by people. Computers are simply a little tool they can use to help relay information. Many con men will tell you, sure all this new technology is great, but it doesn’t beat a good head on your soldiers and a smile.

eh i was between Hitler and Stalin :)

Thanks for the clear up Wild2000, AKA “Rules Master.” :wink:

Personally, I use a rule where if a transport carries a AA gun, it get’s to fire too if the transport is attacked! Good times. :smile:

if Us takes a Japan first strategy russia can put his head between his legs and kiss his butt goodbye.

I agree. For logistic reasons it is far easier for Japan to defend itself than it is for the US to attack it. Japan should be able to destroy most of the USs initial navy in round 1 while retaining most of its own fleet. There is no reason for Japan to build a navy to confront the USs navy if the US goes after Japan. Japan should be building a force of tanks to go after Russia and if the US wants to go after Japan that force can easily be turned on the US if Japan has to defend NE Asia. Japan should retain several fighters that are great for defense as well and one round of buying infantry can go a long way towards providing a defense against the US if they are foolish enough to go after Japan. Remember, it only costs Japan 3 ipcs for a unit of infantry in Asia and 5 for an armor plus a one shot 15 or so for an IC or two. It costs the US 7 for a unit of infantry ((3+3+8)/2) that only attack at a 1, and 13 for a tank (5+8).

Germany would love to have to contend with two countries rather than three. US goes after Japan is a very bad move IMO.

first– greetings to all,
it’s good to see some nice discussion.

i’d like to know how many people play with russia not being able to attack in the first turn?

i haven’t played a+a in quite some time (hmm. almost 5 years) and i’ve recently started playing with a couple of new people who are quite skilled players (which is nice) however, when i played before russia was never allowed to attack first. these guys play with the russian’s being able to attack first. i don’t know if it’s my skills being rusty or what. . .but i haven’t been able to have a dominating win with axis yet!! one ipc victory (only because of japan) and two losses. it’s quite frustrating.

help?

If you say these guys are skilled players, then that explains it all. Skilled players don’t loses convincingly when playing the Allies under the normal set of rules.

I just had a dominating victory as the Axis against some friends who have a lot of experience but haven’t played in a while. They are convinced that their poor rolling was the reason they lost so badly. They believe this because there was no single move that they made that proved to be devistating to their objectives. However, it was obvious to me -and my partner- that their over all strategy (or lack there of) was very weak. They should know better.

If these guys have a good understanding of the fundamentals of the game as well as Allied strategy, you are probably going to have to forget about a dominant Axis victory and learn to settle for just a victory.

Good luck

why would you buy a tank first turn?
if you have an extra $5 first turn as Japan, then buy tech or an inf or two.
