Russia starting chart lost

Yes the episode called “the label maker” season 6… i think.

jerry’s apartment became neutral Switzerland because Newman could not be trusted. I wish the whole episode was about that game

My second favorite episode after The Soup Nazi.

I am starting to believe we’re doing something wrong.

Don’t feel bad, it is a really complex game that takes hours and hours to learn. When I first started we spent hours to get just 1 turn through as well! But it’s worth it! We’re rooting for you, feel free to ask any questions (well I don’t have any specific advice, just wanted to give you a pep talk  :lol:)

I guess the reason I have always taken the back door approach to attacking Germany via Russia is b/c from my experience US and/or UK can take WE but Germany just reallocates forces to WE instead of sending them to the Russian front. In the end I see it as Germany is going to buy those troops any way whats it matter where they are fought? So I pick the Russian front another reason being lets just say Russia and Germany are going one for one (not likely but for sake of debate lets just say its so) any UK or US forces are just icing on the cake to repel Germany. Then I tend to be bi-est to my Allied 1, 2, 3 punch. It also works when the Axis are taking down Moscow, lead with Germany and mop up with Japan before Russia gets their turn. I don’t think I would rather Japan have the capital I think Germany should take it in order to deal with Great Britain on their door step, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  :evil:

@ezto:

@ncscswitch:

Aggressive Russia means you still take Africa, still clear the Med, AND take out the Russian advance forces.  Then re-group in G2 for further advances against a Russia depleted of offensive units.

This comes from the guy who uses a game board :lol:

And who has a nearly 70% win rate, including a perfect win record against Ezto in Revised  :wink:

forget offensive though, trying to assault a country with 35 2’s can be quite the pain in the butt. and thats just the frontline :P

Hi

You should take a look in the Players Help section, theres a sticky post at the top that shows the initial setup for all the axis and allies games, or you could just point and click the big X

Agreed… but I was in no position to continue to push in the Pacific due to needing several rounds to re-establish capital ships to protect trannies (somethign I did not have to do to shift to Europe).  And I reasoned that I could get land units back into play after the Axis income faster via the Atlantic than trying to re-build int eh Pacific.

Basically, my Pacific strat probably would have worked… but I pushed forward too soon.  1 or 2 more builds and then Japan would ahve been gutted in the Pacific… AND in time to have an impact on the Russia front with Germany…

just depends on who your fighting….

I usually to what i call the standard build … 8 men… but ahh then sometimes i might go with a couple tanks on the first turn if i am feeling a little too aggressive… but ahh what the hell try it out worst that could happen is a quick game…
