I agree with the shield and sword statement. It is my experience that Germany on its first turn should buy a transport for Italy and all men. Regroup your tanks and all your infantry into Eastern Europe and plan to take Karelia on turn 3 if possible. Turn 2 can work but can be costly. Germany should buy mostly all men on turn two and three as well and move them into Eastern Europr so as to overwhelm Russia and get ahead of their infantry total. Once Germany has more infantry than Russia attack Karelia with men and tanks only, save your planes. From Italy send two full transports every turn into Egypt and Trans Jordan until you secure the Suez and subsiquently Africa. Meanwhile Japan hits China, and India and then all out Russia, while still maintaining suppremacy in the Pacific by staying one step ahead of the US and as someone else mentioned take out as many US and UK ships as possible while not over commiting your fleet and only losing the cheap expendable replaceable pieces. An IC is a good idea if you are sure you can hold it: Manchuria is good to go after Russia, but can be reinforced by Japan transports anyway, FIC is safer but India is the best of both if you can capture and hold it, because it is two squares “a tank blitz” away from Caucauscus and Trans-Jordan and you can move fleet through the Suez if needed and assist Germany in conquering Africa as required. Not to mention taking precious money away from the UK. Japan would then purchase three tanks every round for India (or FIC) and keep that up until Russia falls. From India or FIC you can also launch a strike on Australia and New Zealand to further hurt UK. If UK buys an IC on India, Japan MUST capture it at all costs or UK will get the upper hand and its game over. If Germany and Japan hit fast and hard as a unit first at UK to bankrupt and “stall” them and get the valuable money they need and at US to “stall” them, then maintain that stall on both of them and go all out Russia so as to hit Moscow on the 5th or 6th turn from both sides, the Axis will have an IPC victory easily or if using victory cities (AA50 and new) or complete victory rules they will be on their way to world domination. :-)
Prefer playing axis or allies ?
-
I just wanted to know what you prefer…
I prefer playing as Axis because they have more action and more challenge.
-
i love playing as UK because the have the challenge of saving USSR from destruction.
-
I just like big armies.
-
I like the axis. I think the axis are harder to play and I like the challenge.
-
in the old versdion they are very difficult to play as not in revised though!
-
I just played about less than an hour ago and i found no difficulties.
(But then again i was just playing The and newbies.) :wink:
-
exactly! you need expierience for this game.
-
The had some Experience.
For you people who don’t know. The is our friend he is from Korea or something.
-
once again shut up aand cut out the stupid conversations.
-
WHY ARE YOU KEEP STARTING THESE ARGUMENTS?!
I said i was going to stop with the useless Messages but you just keep on pushing? -
Are you guys just posting for post count or what?
Anyhoo, I love playing as the Axis because I am a German at heart and I am technically 5/8 German (7/8 if you include British which can be arguably German because of the Anglo-Saxons who came from Germany.) Playing as the Fatherland, trying to devise new strategies is just awesome.
-
honestly, i love playing russia. something about not having to worry about buying air or sea units seems good to me. And also that the whole game kinda depends on if you can handle japan and germany at the same time makes ya feel important.
-
i love the brits cause i love navy and air forces :D
-
I prefer playing as the allies in this version. I find it to be more of a challenge than the original A&A. My friends and I have played about 6-7 games and the axis have won all the games. So at this point I find the allies are more of a challenge. Plus I find their are more purchase options with the allies. Axis is mostly tanks and men and maybe a CV. Not always of course but usually that’s how it plays out.
Plus for some reason, (I think someone put a voodoo curse on me) I always have the worst luck playing as the axis (especially Germany). My rolls usually suck. Any one else find that they have better dice rolls with one power over the other?

I like playing as the allies especially Russia because they are the hardest to play with because they are right in the action and they have a pretty weak army.
-
Better than in the first one though.
-
right on joshost. i cant figure out why people find playing as the axis difficult.

then you are either a genius, or you do not understand the game, or you are used to playing against noobs.

I personally like playing as Japan, simply becuase island hopping is so cool. Its much more complex and difficult than just sending hordes of men at you opponent, like Germany does with Russia. Obvioulsy the Russian front is more in depth than that, but island hopping requires pratically every unit type (infantry, transports, battleships, and AC’s with fighters have all been needed in my game). I also like playing as them simply because they are Japanese 8) .
-
generally, i play as britian, but im my own worst enemy in the way i cant keep a strategy quite. the first person i ususally tell is germanstrom, he then uses my ideas against me.
