Noob alert- major noob question here.

Give the Russia restricted rule a twist.

Russia cannot attack Germany on their first turn, but can attack Japan instead.

Germany gets initiative over Russia which has initiative over Japan.

I’d still check out the Atari “Axis & Allies,” unless you have NO interest in RTS (as stated, like Command & Conquer).  It trades strategy for faced pace action, and can be fun with friends on a LAN.  I got a chance to play for a while, and it can be entertaining, for a short time…
Others to try would be Sudden Strike, another RTS but not as goofy, and my all time favorite RTS involving WW2 material: Close Combat.  A damn good game…
I downloaded a copy of Iron Blitz from a website I can’t remember - I’ll try and track it down.  It was a relatively small download, runs fairly well (gets slower and slower as you go on, even when turning down some of the settings), and is FREE!!!

@morten200:

Jefe: How is this different from the rules you play with? No one is arguing against the defender choosing his own losses and the attacker choosing his own losses.

Sometimes I think he reads every other line of the post he is questioning. :wink:

I’m not sure if that was what he meant, that was what I understood however as silly as it sounds. I think you covered it as best as it could be covered Meijing.

Just one or two swipes with a toothbrush and the BB is clean!

add the person that got caputered moves down his marker on his/her IPC chart

Sorry, but no dice. Besides, chess is so much different from A&A. At least in chess, the moves are preprogrammed and don’t have to worry about supply lines!

The whole axis and allies game is all about chance calculation and strategy, so I think computerplayers should be better than humans if the right strategy is implanted.

major damage and yanny are correct. many units but limited stacks
