I thought I should share my first time playing Axis & Allies North Africa and what I learned/happened.
The first time I played I used Rommel’s Last Push setup because I was playing with 3 people in total. The whole game I thought Caro was safe and sound so I built up a large navy and purchased random stuff. Then turn 5 Italy took a got punch at me then in turn 6 the Germans took over Caro. Big mistake as the Allies.
After that I set up Operation Torch. As the Americans I failed to to take Casablanca and there was still a Vichy French Infantry there. Then my entire convoy sunk because of the three German subs. One thing I did find out is that the French units make a huge difference, not so much the Infantry but the Tanks are so good. If you use them right, they will be a pain for the Axis.
Does anyone have any tips for this game yet? Or is it still to new of a game.
A good tip would be to learn from your mistakes.
In this case, it means keeping a closer eye on Cairo and keeping it well-defended and trying to better defend your convoys. As I haven’t played the game yet I can’t give you further advice than that.
@SuperbattleshipYamato I just recently got the game for my Birthday from my Parents. It is a great game, actually my favorite Axis & Allies game yet. It is very in depth.
Maybe I should ask A.I. or come up with my own strategy video. It will probably come out next year because I would have to play test my strategies.
AI is trash when it comes to Axis and Allies. I asked it a few times, it only gives very generic info that’s not really helpful. Still, a specialized AI explicitly tasked with coming up with Axis and Allies strategies and loaded with all the rules and maps could be very helpful (although it doesn’t exist yet).
