The Russians

Without house rules or any perks to the Axis then classic AA is 90% chance of victory for the Allies. Unless the Allied player is green or has not read Don’s essays on AA then the game is even but once the Allied player knows how to operate then it is usually a short game with the Allies as the victor.

i’ve never had this happen.  but I would build infantry en masse.  there is NO way the russia can match germany infantry for infantry

completely agree.  THough I generally wait to buy ARM.  I usually buy infantry and load up my front line until there is jsut nothing Germany can do , then buy tanks, and just roll over Europe.

I meant that each fighter has a 50% chance of a hit. You really only need one, IMO. (sorry, I just plain dont see that transport as a threat. it’s only 1 tank or 2 infantry!) Besides, the UK can take it out later.

And yea, I conceed that you might still loose the sub in spain. So perhaps dumping that tranny on Canada would be better.

I’m still not going all out with Russia as mentioned in post 1. Although, I was thinking about it, and it is a good way to reduce the number of units on the board, dramatically. Perhaps a way to open Finland or E. Euro up for an invasion sooner by the allies? (BTW, unless I can get jap fighters, I don’t like to attack with my eastern russian forces. If I can get jap fighters, I’ll sacrifice 7 infantry and a tank just to get 1 or 2 enemy fighters!)

i think that is a good idea also since i play russia and the japanese always are buggin me when im tryin to take down germany.

i do not know what weapons will be used in world war 3 but i do know that world war 4 will be fought with rocks and sticks.

Yeah, those new rules sure were something…

Japan controlled all of mainland Asia and the entire Pacific including Australia which mad it able to really threaten Moscow. When Germany took Karelia, the Allies were able to counter-attack and retake it, but that really didn’t matter because Japan had Russia right where it wanted it, on the verge of capture.

Usually if I’m lucky enough to have a large enough invasion force for Japan the Germans will usually be in… well ummm… Germany. :) Then it becomes a race between triumph and disaster.

I like to place one of my fighters in Yakut. It gives Russia alot more flexibility on the eastern front.

I don’t think you would have to worry about Kerilia being taken T1. This rarely happens and actually does more damage to the Nazi war machine. As for me, I would take Ukraine first as it posses the least amount of retailation from Germany. If Eastern Europe is taken, Germany can just counter attack from both sides, reinforcing Eastern Europe while they’re at it. As for Finland. They can wait until T2, as they’re bascially sitting ducks trapped on an “island.”
