What odds battle would you take to win the game?

@slip-capone

We played a couple, then moved onto a week-long game of Global. I like “Revised” quite a bit, but my usual opponent is none-too-happy with the ability of transports to shoot back.

@Funcioneta:

You cannot take Egypt and conserve India. Build the IC at Australia or simply ignore the japaneses. In both cases, for a so-called KJF, USA must build fleet in West Coast, and heavy.

If you build the IC in Australia, kill the z59 trannie, or Japan can conquer it in J2

a south africa IC is also viable.(build land units first and then ships) basically that would put the UK in charge of Africa and the crown in the far east. so the us and russia won’t have to worry much about helping you there.

:roll:
  So Jennifer, it is probibly more of a matter of trust in the server than a problem with your machine? I know just how you feel. It is hard sometimes to go outside our comfort zone. And something different is not always better. I for one have few complaints with Triple A, the ladder or how the program works, although today I did have it freeze on me during a roll, (had to restart my computer to get out of it). Nothing is perfect, right?

Back to topic; I prefer LL for the mere fact that the regular dice are more often than not, unkind to me, causing much frustration. I know that I play a better game than my track record shows, and since I’ve begun playing LL it has been a lot less frustrating for me. I win more often, and even the games I’ve lost have not been one sided crushing defeats in 6 rounds. I will play AAR for fun, or to give a newbe a better chance to beat me, but not a serious game against a master Obewon Jedi AA player. I prefer to match wits, not the luck of the die rolls, for that, we can play Craps  :wink:

As America, unless I’m in a KJF strat, I’ll let Japan take Hawaii.  It’s not worth diverting 14 IPC minimum to reclaim it. (Transport, 2 Infantry.  Wiser would be to divert more since odds are Japan landed with 2 infantry.)

I think the most important battles are:

Germany: Egypt, clearing the Med of british shipping

everyone else depends on their strategy.

We’re using a different Luftwaffe I found on these boards somewhere…bonus to each tank accompanied by a fighter…both attack on a four during the first round of combat.

So three tanks and three fighters is six fours in the first round…bad part is that it doesn’t work against ships.

But that game is over…all three Allies got Rockets, and Germany was being hit by six Rockets each turn…effectively no income. Japan’s southern force through Persia was hit 1-2-3 by Britain, America and Russia…India was likely to fall on Britains next turn…and Japan no longer had enough to break through on the other two avenues of attack…we just conceeded rather than wait for America and Britain to get their act together and take Berlin.

If things are going to hard for one party…
try restarting the game :-)

If you’ve made one mistake early in the game, it’s possible you will see the devastating effect of the mistake you made some turns later…
here you can see it already:
apparently, your allies did not work as ONE team…
I believe that’s the first and best strategy to keep in mind!

Otherwise, I can only recommend reading soime topics at the forum :-)

Are the any online tournaments where you can win a  game like the acuall boardgame?
