I agree with the shield and sword statement. It is my experience that Germany on its first turn should buy a transport for Italy and all men. Regroup your tanks and all your infantry into Eastern Europe and plan to take Karelia on turn 3 if possible. Turn 2 can work but can be costly. Germany should buy mostly all men on turn two and three as well and move them into Eastern Europr so as to overwhelm Russia and get ahead of their infantry total. Once Germany has more infantry than Russia attack Karelia with men and tanks only, save your planes. From Italy send two full transports every turn into Egypt and Trans Jordan until you secure the Suez and subsiquently Africa. Meanwhile Japan hits China, and India and then all out Russia, while still maintaining suppremacy in the Pacific by staying one step ahead of the US and as someone else mentioned take out as many US and UK ships as possible while not over commiting your fleet and only losing the cheap expendable replaceable pieces. An IC is a good idea if you are sure you can hold it: Manchuria is good to go after Russia, but can be reinforced by Japan transports anyway, FIC is safer but India is the best of both if you can capture and hold it, because it is two squares “a tank blitz” away from Caucauscus and Trans-Jordan and you can move fleet through the Suez if needed and assist Germany in conquering Africa as required. Not to mention taking precious money away from the UK. Japan would then purchase three tanks every round for India (or FIC) and keep that up until Russia falls. From India or FIC you can also launch a strike on Australia and New Zealand to further hurt UK. If UK buys an IC on India, Japan MUST capture it at all costs or UK will get the upper hand and its game over. If Germany and Japan hit fast and hard as a unit first at UK to bankrupt and “stall” them and get the valuable money they need and at US to “stall” them, then maintain that stall on both of them and go all out Russia so as to hit Moscow on the 5th or 6th turn from both sides, the Axis will have an IPC victory easily or if using victory cities (AA50 and new) or complete victory rules they will be on their way to world domination. :-)
What is your favorite Axis country to play?

I had a poll with the question:
What is your favorite country to play?
This poll focuses on the Axis alone!
-
Japan just has more options and is much more agressive than Germany. Germany never really leaves Europe, but Japan builds an empire like nobodies busness
-
When I played the my first game I played Japan, its still my favorite, don’t really care why, Its just fun to manage the empire and expand it as much as possible!
Just wondering, when are you going to make a poll with the topic “what is your favorite Axel Allie Poll?” :lol:

I actually am starting to like Germany better. I mean the constant land war on the Eastern front is great.
-

@Malus:
Im 1337 with stats
euh,
could you help me with this one?
what does it mean exactly?
(I could make a poll to see what everyone thinks it is :-P) -
1337 = leet = leetspeak = geekspeak = lead = “cool”
stats = statistics
got it or am I just making it worse?
-
wow,
this is like 707 means LOL?
and 1414 means hIhI?
(hihi in Dutch is someone who giggles or chuckles,…)then you have 707+707=1414 or LOL+LOL=hIhI…
where do I get these calculation and why, you could ask?
in old calculators, where you have digits that are rectangulary shaped, and you insert 707 and turn your calculator upside down: then you have LOL :-)did you know 319738 is good for “Belgium” in Dutch = BELGIE (the name of my country in my mother tongue…)
@Malus:
1337 = leet = leetspeak = geekspeak = lead = “cool”
I don’t know what a leet is, but I get the gist of it :-)
-
Leet is just short form of elite.
