@Arne said in 1914 Introduce Tanks Earlier in Game:

Hi, are there any objections (except for the historical ones) to introduce tanks earlier in the game than round 4?

Other than historical reasons, I don’t know why you couldn’t start buying tanks as early as you please. It would shake up some of the established strategies. Whether that’s good or bad would be up to you.

This is the most axis and alies game to date. I find even with capable players a 50 50 chance of victory if we play with tr.

Central powers stat.

Take out the royal navel first. Use subs in Atlantic to take out canadian fleet Germany should build 3bb 1st turn. Cp go straight for Russia. Put enough troops in border territories between enemy powers to bog down allies. After Russia falls, head straight for France. By that time even with America, Germany will be too powerful.

Allies

Take out the Ottos. France and britian go as offensive as possible if you see germ going for Russia. Help out Italy as much as you can. If it’s all out France, go defensive obviously in territories with germ. But with the rest, go offensive. Never go defensive too long. Make germ go defensive as soon as possible.

That’s my two cents.

I did find it funny WW1 took place in Europe only lol. Japan was in this too.

Hypothetical question: If the attack resolution rules for 1914 were the same as the other A&A games, which current first moves would you change and why…for example, I would change my opening moves by AH to build up forces to attack Italy first and just build up a force in Galicia rather than attack Venice and Poland…I would still have to attack Serbia, but I would hold off on Albania…

Kreighund never explained why this was introduced, when it appears to benefit the CPs only in limited movement through such tts. They would surely be better off being able to withdraw from them.

@KimRYoung:

@rjpeters70:

Dude, no offense was meant whatsoever.�  I was not knocking you or Koreans at all (I’ve even been to the ROK, and loved it).�  It’s just the first thing that jumps in my head these days, given that we have a crazy dictator actively threatening nuclear war named Kim.

I’m not offended at all RJ, just letting everyone know who I am. It was also bad in the late 60’s when the name Kim became a common girls name (short for Kimberly), then if they didn’t know, they thought I was a girl. In H.S. I got put in an all girls health education class, which I thought was great! I still get mail to Ms. Kim Young  :lol:

Kim (white, non-Korean male  8-)

For what it’s worth, I know a Korean named Robert E. Lee.

I guess russia forgot that he should not let the enemy get in between him and his capital

Eight years later your post I have the game box here on my laps.
It says WWI 1914 and A&A game. So they didn’t really call it Axis and Allies. The game is super cool and since I am a great fan of the The Great War I have to say that I enjoy it even more than the other ( so far I have playes only anniversary). Kind regards. Meerko
