Im new need help to get started

@AdmrlScuttlebut Cool that you figured it out.
In the future - when you have a forum related question - you could take a look at the Tips&Tricks. There are a lot of helpful topics/postings in the Website/Forum Discussion category, for example this Chat related one: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1246438.

So this weekend I will be playing the allied powers versus my friend who will be playing all of the axis powers. He has hinted over and over again that he is going to use a new strategy that he is very confident in. And that this new strategy means that I wont know which way he is going until turn 4. Has anyone else ever heard of this or a similar strategy? Or does anyone have any advice for how I should be changing my play style to anticipate a round 4 attack?

Any help would be great
Thx

I love A&A Pacific. I bought it practially the day it hit the shelfs nearly a decade ago. I’ve played it so much that its more than worn out on me and i want to get a new copy.  I realize that the game is out of print now, but unopened copys are still around at some stores. Does anyone know the difference between the 1st print edition and later print editions. For example the 1st print had a box that said it contained 445 pieces, but came with 335. The new box has a different logo in the corner and says it contains 330 pieces. This means some changes have been made between prints. perhapse they fixed the rulebook and setup card typo?

If any of you guys know of any differences i would greatly appreciate it. As i need to decide fairly soon weather or not to buy a new unopended copy of a later print or a used 1st edition print.

thanks.

P.S. I realize that the new AAP40 will be out soon, but as a diehard A&A fan i have a complusive need to keep a crisp copy of each A&A title in good condition. Some of you will understand, others wont.

Put these in the folder with your other game saves… :mrgreen:

Me and my A&A friend have bin playing Europe at War on the ABattlemap. There is oficial rules, but their realy complicated so I sort of made up my own rules. All in all though it’s very similar to any other A&A, just altered IC costs, movements, and I added in those square things as fortifications. We’ve bin playing for about 3-4 months now (France refused to give in).

Anywho, heres the sit rep: I’m the Allies and I’m in deep trouble. The Italians after the whole game of being held off smashed through Al Alamayn. The UK had almost no reserves and wass easly pushed way back. Qatar is the only outpost left in the SE end of the map and will probly fall soon. With that the USSR is being threatened from the south now. the Battle against Germany is turning into a complete standstill with the germans with a slite edge. In the west, America is only creating a minimal effect as it can’t get out to the UK cause of all the Axis ships. Same with Brits, They’ve made a comeback, but the Germans are still holding them off. Also the UK is getting carpet bombed! The Axis have Scapa Flow so the whole island is vunerable. I got him to stop bombing London and Bristol with AAs and fighters, but it only has mimimal effect.

I don’t know if anyone can see it or not by I’ll post the map here. I’m at a loss! I thought I could win, but now with no Middle East, the Caucaus being swallowed up slowly, and the Atlantic going no were fast, I don’t know how to get out of this one without some miricale.

EDIT: Alittle change, He threw some 60inf 30art and 20arm at Stalingrad so thats gone and surounded the lower Caucauses so no their completely gone…I’m screwed arn’t I

There is a patch for the multiplayer game at http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa that is needed to play Hasbro’s A&A with the latest versions of DirectX.

http://www.axisandalliesworldclub.com is a site devoted to playing the Hasbro version online–you can find information on getting it to work as all, as well as find online games, there–check the message boards at that site.
