Nominations for A&A Revised Strategies

See other thread about Russia strategy… overall I can just say: DO NOT PLAY WITH NAs. In my opinion they are very unbalanced and can shift the game into certain directions very much. Just as examples: Lend-Lease for Russia is a lot stronger than e.g. Trans-Siberian railway; Luftwaffe Dive Bombers are strong; Joint strike or Colonial Garrison are sick; same are Superfortresses which are just stupid especially with heavy bombers.

I know that the anniversary edition board will be the biggest yet. But I am curious to see what new territories they added and to actually see what Italy has for holdings and military buildup at the beggining of the game. The box will probably be just as big as the MB edition. Perhaps they will change the look/artwork of the battleboard, national production chart, etc…

@ncscswitch:

No one caught that I left off the SZ55 ships for the US :-P

Damn.  I knew it as soon as I entered it, but had to get in the shower (was still almost late for work typing that this morning).  Figured SOMEONE would ahve slammed me for it today :-D

I noticed but I didn’t wanna embarres u  :mrgreen:

If UK and US are idiots, and the Germans and Japs geniuses, the Allies will lose.

If you attack a country with ground forces, whatever ground forces you attack with are committed.

For this reason, I like to have three USSR fighters and some artillery.

Tanks are a must-have; if Germany does massive infantry push, the tanks can rush back east to mess with Japan.

Basically, I usually build a fighter, LOTS of infantry, and a couple of artillery every so often.

K, thanks very much.  I was a little bit in doubt and didn’t know the background of when that was started.

I was on this site a while back, and someone had posted a link to an excellent strategy guide for A&A. The guide was written for the original, but the concepts still applied to the revised adition.  Could someone please post the link to that guide, if you still have it.

Thanks

One of the first “improvements” I made was an option to retreat. They can do so the next round after their initial announcement. However, any retreating forces that are hit by the attacking forces don’t receive a retaliation strike back, since they, literally, turned their back to their enemy.

I made up the same house rule too. It seems to work pretty well. It definitely adds to the realism.

since owning Revised… I just don’t have the feel to play the old game… Revised is better.
