@stancollins Welcome to the forum. I have moved your topic to the 1942 Online forum-category.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Can you please answer that?

@djensen I’m only on round 2 so it is hard to say if they are good or not, but so far every play from them seems fine. Yes I am aware that developing an AI capable of playing a complex game like A&A is rather difficult.

I have watched very advanced players on YouTube, so I am aware they can play really fast, especially the first turn. However, this is something else. In a matter of seconds, all purchases, combat moves, combats and non-combat moves are resolved, like max 15 seconds.

If it is not an AI playing, my second guess is that I am not able to watch them play live and what I see is a short playback of everything they made during the turn. I don’t know why that would happen though. I was still connected to the game because the other player was online, so I wanted to play live.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Understood, thank you for looking!

@PGsquig I don’t recall exactly why, but I found a reason to actually do it on purpose. The land wasn’t safe and I needed the air power to project east.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Thank you very much!

@Gooberlord11 If you go to https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us, you’ll be able to open a ticket about Beamdog games.

That said, feel free to send me (via a DM here) your Commander Names and IDs (from PC and Apple), I’ll merge them manually (let me know which of the two is the main account).

@Boston_NWO said in 1942 2nd Edition (Steam) Genco Harris version:

{snip}
Just based on status, infantry are by far the most broken unit in the game. This has been the case in every version of Axis and Allies but the unit is so common that many people don’t appreciate the brokenness in plain sight.

Don Rae was singing their praises in the 1990s to anyone who would listen: Don’s Axis and Allies Strategic Essays.

While the advice contained within was tailored to the old, Milton Bradley, version of A&A, the Infantry Push and Dead Zone mechanics are still as effective today as they were 25+ years ago.
