Hello all, need some help/advice

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

I’m glad I could be of help.  Happy gaming!

@harry_beast:

I have a 98edition A&A-won’t run on my P4with WinXP-runs on my old P3with Me2000.It also doesn’t seem to have the capability to auto join multiplayer games.
  I would assume a newer game would be in order!
  So–---------What all do I need to play on-line?(real-time )

Generaly you can select casualties for your opponent (take infantry before artillery, artillery before tanks …)

If there is a question (attacking sub gets 1 hit on a defending transport and a sub), then save the game when it is your opponents turn to select casualties, exit the game, and mail the saved game file to your opponent (this works better in 0.8.2 than earlier versions).  Your opponent can open the saved game, select casualties, and continue the battle.

1 white chip = 1 additional unit of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be a fighter unit on 3 white chips is 4 fighters(often written 4 ftr or 4 ftrs).

1 red chip = 5 additional units of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be an infantry unit on 2 red chips is 11 infantry(often written 11 inf). Heh-heh!

Unless you buy extra pieces, on eBay fer example, you will have to limit your countries that you have forces in.

You might also check out your local rag tag hobby/toy store, Goodwill or other second hand shops.

First off, i agree with Big Blocky. He’s right. You don’t go very offensively as Russia, but pick up the odd dead zone if it is offered to you. You want a buffer between the German front line and Caucasus if you can get it - if only to slow down the tanks.
Also it is a major pain for the allies to take (and retake) Eastern Europe. Rather than just land troops on West Eu which is a turn for the US - this move requires 2 turns for the US. It also makes boats more vulnerable to German planes. What i mean is that it takes a while to do anything on the mainland outside of west EU. Also i generally leave Manchuria alone. Unless it’s an easy pick with few expected losses, you’re simply spreading out your forces.
If you want to see some good strat as Russia - check out the games section and look in on a game where Darth Maximus or Kobu (both) or Big Blocky are playing, and generally you’ll pick up some good early moves.

Man-o-man! That’s nothing like what I’ve seen.
The two expansion packs I recall were less than 3 oz.
and smaller than a new comic book package.
