I agree with the shield and sword statement. It is my experience that Germany on its first turn should buy a transport for Italy and all men. Regroup your tanks and all your infantry into Eastern Europe and plan to take Karelia on turn 3 if possible. Turn 2 can work but can be costly. Germany should buy mostly all men on turn two and three as well and move them into Eastern Europr so as to overwhelm Russia and get ahead of their infantry total. Once Germany has more infantry than Russia attack Karelia with men and tanks only, save your planes. From Italy send two full transports every turn into Egypt and Trans Jordan until you secure the Suez and subsiquently Africa. Meanwhile Japan hits China, and India and then all out Russia, while still maintaining suppremacy in the Pacific by staying one step ahead of the US and as someone else mentioned take out as many US and UK ships as possible while not over commiting your fleet and only losing the cheap expendable replaceable pieces. An IC is a good idea if you are sure you can hold it: Manchuria is good to go after Russia, but can be reinforced by Japan transports anyway, FIC is safer but India is the best of both if you can capture and hold it, because it is two squares “a tank blitz” away from Caucauscus and Trans-Jordan and you can move fleet through the Suez if needed and assist Germany in conquering Africa as required. Not to mention taking precious money away from the UK. Japan would then purchase three tanks every round for India (or FIC) and keep that up until Russia falls. From India or FIC you can also launch a strike on Australia and New Zealand to further hurt UK. If UK buys an IC on India, Japan MUST capture it at all costs or UK will get the upper hand and its game over. If Germany and Japan hit fast and hard as a unit first at UK to bankrupt and “stall” them and get the valuable money they need and at US to “stall” them, then maintain that stall on both of them and go all out Russia so as to hit Moscow on the 5th or 6th turn from both sides, the Axis will have an IPC victory easily or if using victory cities (AA50 and new) or complete victory rules they will be on their way to world domination. :-)
Do you prefer playing axis or allies ?

This is my year of weird strategies, darling. You never know!

I dismissed the Russian naval build, then proceeded to discuss the original precept.

@Craig:
That’s what I get for reading the MBs before having my coffee and taking my meds. :oops:
Craig
No way I think you are an official playtester, come clean Craig, you dont have Ann ed.
Talk about coming out of left-field?!?!?!?!?
What does this comment have to do with my comment? I was just saying that I hadn’t gotten focused on what the thread was really saying since I hadn’t fully woken up yet.
You buzz right by that and hit me with an Anniversary Edition inquiry.
Even if I am on the “inside” ( :wink: ) concerning the new game, I wouldn’t be able to talk about it. Them’s the rules! :-o :x :cry:
Craig
the Viking gets his topics confused sometimes.
As for Russia, if Russia plays smart, I have started abandoning africa to push harder, it’s a tough ballance
-
:-o
This is all just crazy talk!
Any fool Russian player that builds an AC and a sub in the Baltic just signed his own death warrent! Occasionally, I may only build a sub to deter that BB shot on G1,( depending on who I am playing) but an AC is begging for a Panzer dash.
IMHO, Just not good economics for Russia. :wink: -
Mmm, Panzer dash. What could be better. The Axis is just so much more fun.
-
A year back I might have said Axis.
Now I’d say that I prefer Allies. Why?-> you loose less number of games playing them :-D
-
Well, if your looking for stats Allies is the best choice, if you want to improve your game you play axis.
-
Ok, you might win more games with the Allies, but a victory with the Axis is sooooooo much more fulfilling.
What can I say? I’m a man who loves a challenge :roll:
And I really like play the evil guy :evil: -
It depends if how I feel. I like Japan and Russia the best so it depends on which on who i’d rather be at that moment. i should be more active on these boards after school ends on the 21st.
-
Axis. I got a thing for Germany :evil:
though japan does bore me… -
I supose I like Germany because I’m a narcissist and I want everyone looking and paying attention to me :wink:
-
Germany is definitely the more fun to play of the two Axis powers. However, Japan poses more of a challenge when dealing with troops spread across so many islands and also having to deal with main land Asia.
-
With the Allies, you get corn-fed wholesome American girls, sophisticated British girls, spicy Indian girls, hot Ethiopian girls, aboriginal hotties from Australia, Chinese girls, and Russian supermodels.
True, with the Axis, you get French, German, and Italian hotties, plus Japanese girlies.
But I think the Allies just have so much more to offer . . . I’m going to have to go with Allies . . .
-
you naughty bunny, come ride my lap
-
Well, I never thought of it that way. The Allies are starting too sound a bit more interesting.
-
Do not belief what bunny says! It’s all propaganda, it is :wink:
-
Damn long ears. :-D
-
Well, most of my successes have been with Japan so far.
Usually, the spicy Indians and Chinese are quick to comfort the victorious Yellow fellows. Hawaiians offer flowers, and New Zealanders sing like Hayley Westenra and Kiri te Kanawa.
BUT… Allies often get back the stunning Norwegians (not before Operation Lebensborn ‘produces’ Anni-Frid Lyngstad!).
And the French dames get two sets of lovers every turn… -
Are we still talking about Axis&Allies?
