MOVED: Would the Allies win without Russia in the real war?

Setup charts for all games using them are also available in this thread:

It needs some work-Germany would most likely take out Britain’s fleet, plus some of their convoys, so it would be a pretty risky propostion. Not to mention the fact that Russia will be pretty hard pressed to support two offensives at once. What I would do is have the US build infantry the first turn, then transports, then by turn 4 make one large amphib assault at the closest territory.

Interesting idea. Something to try out.

don’t like the idea of combining the A&AP and A&AE forums. The games are different, i have a different understanding of both, and they require completely different strats.
Also, call me a purist, but its nice to go to a forum and know that there is one “focus” there.
(although Gen Dis is fun too)

I like AAP better. Theres nothing like epic sea battles, and I think the Air bases and Sea bases were a great idea.

ya they may be 15 ipc vs a max of 6, but bomber has 100% hit ratio.

AA is about 17.5% throw in one or two fighters and no way u will lose a bomber.

most stores have the game in stock but they dont display it.

You have to follow history atleast slightly. Pull all russia forces back to your cities and if that wont hold think of puting every man in moscow. That is an incredible amount of defense. It is also key that america and the UK take the sea and put pressure on Germany so they cant devote all their forces and money to killing russia. They might even want to consider shiping planes over that russia can take control of. 8 planes in moscow with a role of 4 or less is incredible defense against tanks. If the Germans are going after russia full force just pull back to moscow and let US and UK take the covoys back, supply troops, and put pressure on Germany. If Germany always wins it is because the people playing US and UK suck at the game.
