@aagamerz13 That being said, allied players can stall the axis takeover of moscow for the whole game or long enough for the allies to be able to comeback after it falls. So, it is a bit of a balancing act.

@Warhawk77 Hi. I strongly suggest you play global 40 using triplea online against some of the aggressive axis players. When your Moscow falls on round 5 or 6 (maybe 7 if your allies have good early dice) maybe 10 games in a row while you try to defend it by only moving ussr inf in, that will give some ideas about how to play the Europe axis. A lot of board game players feel the axis has no chance against their allies until they start playing on triple A. This is something you have to experience in a game and not be told about in the forum.

it is definitely pointing to version 77. How to fix that?

So, I’m seeing this error:

A similar error has been reported before. How do you install the cert for triple a? I think I read in forum this was fixed in unreleased version. Thanks

@CaptainNapalm Ok. I’ll bid 15 for allies bm3. Do you play online? That might be faster if you have time.

@CaptainNapalm Hi Captain. I’ll start with bm3.

Hi players. I’m new to the league although I’ve played axis and allies for years. Transitioning to competitive play after learning the new maps from pickup play. I’m open to different game times and rules. Let’s battle!

I’m looking for games of BM3. Would prefer to play online.

Well, it depends on the level of the allied players.  I can usually tell by my opponents uk1/us1 moves and buys whether I have a 100% to perhaps little over 50% chance to win the game, depending on bid.  A lot of players give the allies away at too high a bid, and take the allies at too low a bid.  All of this is much more important than if Germany decides to attack only one of the two szs.  :evil:

The problem with letting italy take bulgaria is that the uk will sometimes take greece with two units.  So, you have a stack of 6 units that cant be effectively countered for at least two rounds if uk smashed 2 italy trans. during uk1.  This costs Italy the NO for at least 1 or 2 rounds.  Germany may also have to divert forces to deal with this.

The axis has to be super aggressive to maximize their chance of winning.  By doing so, you force the USA player to sometimes make subtle purchase mistakes that can be exploited in a few rounds.  Only the USA can win the game for the allies.  So, I try to force them to make hard choices as early as possible.

The challenge of playing a tough opponent is fun.  Also, you might see some different ideas you can use in future games.

The fact that your opponent did a J1 attack on hawaii says it all.  That’s not the top opening for japan. 
if you want to see how your strat fares against an experienced axis player, we can schedule one.
