Most Important Piece

Right on queue “Posting Jen”.  Page 4… post #4!

Same sort of silly rhetoric too.

Your sarcastic list of things Russian ftr(s) MIGHT do is only more reasoning WHY a Russian ftr is more important because, guess what… I HAVE used Russian ftr(s) in EVERY SINGLE way that you say they MIGHT be someday used:

• defending allied carriers

• taking Berlin

• supporting Western

• supporting Southern

Oh yes, I have used Russian ftr(s) after Moscow has fallen too.

@dezrtfish:

I think that it would be funny if Jen’s gramy had testes

But I’m a pretty twisted individual so there you go…

That might explain some of the posts we read in this forum

@Cmdr:

So i ask, is it better to defend Moscow or to take Berlin?

That’s a trick question.

and to that, I will answer “YES”

@Cmdr:

I think Holding Moscow indefinatly will result in Allied win, Taking Germany will probably result in allied victory.  I have recovered games after losing Germany.

Soooo  ….  does this mean for a fact that Jen’s dead grandmother has grown testicles? post photos?

Lets be realistic here, the most important piece is of course, the first piece, because every other peice is always compared to the first piece :roll:

The industrial complex is the most important piece. You can’t build diddly squat without owning one.

I voted for the British Bomber for this poll. Gotta wipe out the med fleet early and it helps a whole bunch.

German bomber ! May be key to keeping Allied fleets at bay longer.
(Since it isn’t on the list, then, have to settle for…) Russian fighter.

:-o
Russia is not worthless!
Shiftless maybe, but not worthless.
Besides, if Japan has Russia, it often will also have the Caucasus, and those 2 combined are worth more than your precious Germany  :-P

Picked Russian fighter simply because a UK fighter to me is as good if not better than a UK bomber (defense+attack, and landing on carrier to defend navy, also it’s not too difficult to get a landing in Norway or land on a carrier where fighters can launch to W Eur, Germ, E Eur anyway).  And I’d certainly rather have a Russian fighter than a UK fighter.

77% of voters feel that the russian fighter is more important than any other item on the list! So let’s agree that not everyone agrees all he time, but 77% of these voters disagee with Gen most of the time. :-P

@Cmdr:

I wonder how many of the Russian Fighter votes are influenced by experiences in Classic Axis and Allies where the Russian fighter was incredibly more important than it is in Revised.

I’d guess no more than voted British bomber simply because it costs 15 IPCs to the 10 IPCs fighters cost.

The Russian fighter attacks at a three and is only going to be used in land battles like a tank, so no huge advantage to me. British and American fighters end up defending Russian territories in the majority of games I’ve played, so again no huge advantage. That British bomber has options, however. SBRs and Med/Baltic Fleet attacks or finishing off Africa. Keeping Germany off balance early helps the allies and a fighter could never have the impact a bomber can.

My 2 pennies…

@Cmdr:

Actually, I am quite proud that I, and game play, have convinced about 25% of the voters that the British Bomber is more important to the grand scheme of things than a single Russian fighter.

I wonder how many of the Russian Fighter votes are influenced by experiences in Classic Axis and Allies where the Russian fighter was incredibly more important than it is in Revised.

Still rounding the numbers we have:

40 votes Russian Fighter
10 votes British Bomber

Which proves one thing: My assertation that the British bomber is the most important piece on the map is not a solitary position and not a loony position to take.

In either case, no one wants to leave the Russian fighters as the sole defender of Karelia at the end of Russia 1 nor leave the British bomber the sole defender of Italian East Africa at the end of England 1.  On that, I am sure we all can agree!

Sounds like you were working for the Gore camp in Florida based on your vote observations.
