Does The Axis & Allies Computer Game (1998) Work With XP?

Axis & Allies is the like Risk with more exciting battles combined with the financial investment challenges of Monopoly.

Sounds pretty crazy :D !

By t3 I have like 35 inf plus whtever in kerelia. I welcome the attack! I exagerate a bit but if Germany attacks Keralia I suggest earlier unless USSR does something stupid. Or later if Japan is threatening from the other side.

thx! Ill check it out :D

"Odds of your bomber being shot down on or before the 5th sortie: 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 5/6 "

thats not true at all. u have to use a multiplicative connection in this case: the odds of the bomber performing strat.bomb successfully are 5/6. U are going for 5 runs. So the result is 5/65/65/65/65/6 = (5/6) ^ 5 ~ 40%

u have a probability of 40% to strike for 3,5*5 = 17,5 IPC at costs of 15 IPC. which still isnt a good deal imho…

Yes, if you download it somewhere it runs very slow after a wile, the same thing happend to me, buy it instead online or somthing, its prety hard to find it in the stores now.

MSN’s Zone is a good place to play as long as you have the patch, and better yet it’s free.

This is true. To get down to the nitty-gritty: as Germany you start the game making 32 IPCs a turn, right? So if it was just you and USSR in a straight fight, you’d waste them in a few turns, right? Problem is you’ve gotta deal with the threat from the Western Allies at the same time–and still have enough money to grind down Russia. That is the tough part. The trick is holding off the Western Allies from invading Europe WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE IPC INVESTMENT, so the vast majority of your IPCs can be spent against USSR. You MUST increase your economy in order to have enough $$$ do do this. The more you can weaken USSR’s buying power, the better–try strategic bombing Karelia and hope you get lucky. Get your ally (Japan) to help by bombing USSR as well. The Allies will gang up on you–gang up on them whenever you can! Watch what USSR buys carefully–it will clue you in to what you need to buy to counter it. Remember as attacker you have the option to retreat–against USSR, at least, any battle where you score more hits against them than they against you can be a victory: the war against USSR is an economic war, and whoever can best manage their resources correctly will get stronger and stronger, while the enemy gets weaker and weaker. And the best advice is to play a few games as the Allies: once you get a feel for their tactics and strategic needs, you will be able to anticipate some of their moves and take measures to counter them.
