Buying additional pieces for AAR

I have tried this and it has worked. Bought all fighters turn one. Then all bombers turn two by turn three england landed in France and the US had like 6 fighters, 2 bombers, 2inf a tank and art in france after england had secured it the previous round. US took italy next turn and game ended shortly after. It was a few years ago so i cant recall anymore specifics. The key is pooling all available aircraft and witholding from Op. Torch. Also England needs naval dominance which sometimes doesnt happen with a G1 carrier build

This article can teach you a lot on playing Germany especially. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=14466.0

For the Axis to win, they need to break the Allied economic advantage. Japan should be snatching the easy territories in the Pacific and Africa and taking potshots with her battleships but the primary focus should always be Russia. For the Allies to win, they need to control Axis expansion and if they do that, they will eventually overwhelm the Axis.

My best advice is don’t make mistakes. Great strategy can be beaten with a silly oversight. Make smart purchases. Germany needs infantry early and Japan needs transports early. Look at what the Allies can do at least one round out every turn so that you won’t leave an opening for them. Use the turn order to anticipate their next move and to determine which units are already committed. Be aware of canopeners. US clears Novo/Kazakh and Russian tanks get Japan’s fighters in Sinkiang. UK liberates Karelia and US tanks from Norway support an amphibious assault on Eastern Europe.

@i:

i dont see the need for an axis bid it seems the axis always win to me.

Maybe that is because your age is XXII  :roll:

The “common” bid for axis is 8-9 ipc.

Well, no one seems to be replying…I only play TripleA, but if that’s fine with you, then I’m game.

To bad I missed the party, I’d drink to that.  :-D

@mateooo:

I got the BEST GER first turn buy, EVER. I wont give it away, because some day I might win a German bid in this tournament. All I can say is that it involves boats that transform into giant robots….

yeah if i ever get a 10 ipc bid i’ll buy 4 figs and place the bid in germany.

Hey, I had to ask :-)

Would love to have you join in though :-)

Yeah I was really confused too when I bought my copy of A&A revised because I didn’t see “revised” on the cover. You can tell it’s revised because it says “new destroyer and artillery pieces!” and it just says axis and allies, not some other variant like pacific/europe.
