Another new axis and allies style game coming out!!!

@Krieghund Thank you. Very interesting how a technological breakthrough affects other core game rules here.

thanks for the tip for going to win98/95 mode. it runs much more smoothly on XP with 98 on!

From what I see, your strategy does nothing to attack Sinkiang, China and India, giving them time to build ICs and making the Japanese road to Russia essentially impossible. Also, what about the U.S./U.K. shuck? If the conveyor belt really gets going, you have to deal with 6-8 Inf a turn, if not more, and that will make Russia impossible to defeat without sacrificing Berlin. Play your strategy with a little more support on WEu and knocking out Southern Asia (which also gives Japan $7 to use, not the Allies), and it will probably work. Just going through Manch is asking for trouble.

Hey! That Lada’s one hot mini-SUV(more like a mini-land rover.) Can I get one in hot pink for my bootylishous self??

Oh, so the tanks aren’t for a room size A&A map! How disappointing. I was loooking forward to picking up a tank and going “vroom-VROOM!” across the coffee table. Ah, yes! The good old days…

In The Zone last night I saw someone with instructions on playing without a CD. It looked like you needed two programs - one that converted your CD into a file on your hard drive, and then another that run it as a ‘virtual CD’. I wrote the info down but don’t have it with me right now. I will try it tonight and let you know if it works.

Damnit! Nothing! This buggy piece of crap, memory leaking SOB of a program… grrr…

I think that if Germany falls, Japan still has a shot at winning. In one game I played, Japan had already taken Russia and was pushing into Ukraine and Kerelia. However, Germany surrendered to the Allies on the very next turn so it was USA/UK vs. Japan. If I remember the calculations correctly Japan was making around 69 IPCs a turn with UK and USA at 77. For about 50+ turns, trench warefare waged across Finland, Eastern Europe, and East Africa with Naval and Aerial battles raging across the English Channel. My God it was great!

Bossk,
Exactly, this is a game…the designers spent many hours trying to make this game fair, challenging, diverse, and historically acurate. But you can’t have all it all. I do try new things to spice up the game…what I meant was that the main objectives for true success are basically the same. Travel too far off the beaten trail, and your toast…
