Ok, it’s official… I have not a clue how to play this game. I took Axis vs Hard AI Allies and after two moves, the Axis are in trouble. Ignore the fact that Germany lost West Russia and Baltic without a single loss by Russia. After 2nd Russian turn, Caucasus has 15 inf, 4 art, 5 arm and 2 aa. Even buying 9 inf (1 car for fun), Germany has insufficient fodder to hold Ukraine.
I have a feeling that the live game I played had a fair number of pieces that were misplaced due to the whiskey involved.
I must really place my pieces poorly because I am never in a position where I can trade a territory without losing ground. One step forwards, two steps backwards. :? I have no patience and end up spreading my pieces out so they can be picked off or not used together very well.
