Also if you notice Pearl Harbor can take place on turn 1, (when in reality it took place on Dec. 7) so even though the game technically starts in the spring, some liberties where taken.
I kinda had the same thought though, lol
Some of the maps that IL has start an earlier dat and has Italian Africa represented as Italian, if you’re looking for some
:wink:
Even w/o it’s fleet, Italy can still cover France. It can also support Germany vs Moscow. 9 IPCs still equals 3 inf each turn to sent to Ukraine. I wouldn’t call that “neutering”, per say (if u must use that term).
For the purpose of this post any form of the word neuter will be replaced with cripple :wink::
Destroying the navy is considered crippling Italy because in many games North Africa is where most of of Italy’s fighting is done, and without a Navy they cannot get troops to their front, which means that they are crippled
I think that a '39 scenario with politics would be biased toward the Axis for one simple reasons: it allows them to manage their threats. If Germany and Japan would’ve taken on their threats one at a time they wouldn’t have had to deal with having so much on their plate. If Germany had worried about the UK before they worried about the USSR, and if the Japanese would’ve finished off China before going after European colonies the world would be a much different place.
Interesting that Cali is leading the pack…
Are there any other Western New Yorkers out there besides Kepler and myself?
I’m from NY city if that helps
As long as this gam doesn’t add anything game breaking (new combat system, halftracks, pillboxes, tank rush proof Russia) I’m gonna have to skip this one. I mean, I can only buy 1942 sooo many times
Mazer:
You where able to ignore Japan? :-o
What skill level was the Axis player?
Probably because a 1939 scenario would require too many rules and too much diplomacy, which kinda goes against the A&A game itself
Are you gonna be posting pics of the units?
that’s what will probably win me over in the end :wink:
Perhaps this would have been a better poll question: “Which would rather be in, a Sherman or a Tiger?” 8-)
I say Sherman, if I’m in a Tiger it means I’m German, and the Germans lost :-D
with NO’s I usually send 2trannies 2inf 1arm and 1art to Africa turn 1. Unless thing go horribly wrong after that, I go full out on the pacific
yeah, but Chuck Norris wouldn’t need to survive a nuke. The nuke would need to survive Chuck Norris. :mrgreen:
@Subotai:
6. Hitler stay out of all decisions which is related to military aspects, except he tells his general to conquer most of Europe, it’s the generals war, not the president, prime minister or the fuhrer.
I agree 110%, if Hitler was kept out of the military aspect I’d probably be writing in German now
I have the poster in my room
:-D
Wow, I thought Indiana Jones was the only one to ever survive a nuke! :-D
IDK they’d have to be at a fairly low price
2nd 100th POST!
@Imperious:
A teen is ANYBODY at any age that still needs financial support for any reason sake medical conditions. So If your a isolated person at 30 and collect money from the Gov., ex spouse, Momma,Grandma, Sugar daddy and sugar momma, Pimp, your back to thug kid level. Physically your an adult, but mentally your still a child. Also, if you do things like buy toys ( ATV, Boats, Jet SKI, etc) and cant pay the rent your also still a child.
Case in point: living at home with momma and you got some stupid SUV with bling bling rims that spin, and the DWP has to keep sending late payment statements because you cant pay the damm bill when it shows up, because you cant make BOTH payments on your custom stereo and phone AND take care of basic bills that show up. But you still look good at the club, but your a penniless, dumb teenager in my book. :mrgreen:
PS: this characterization is not directed against anybody who posts here.
By this definition, everyone I know short of my grand mother is a child
:-D
100th POST!!! :mrgreen:
Definitely France, it pulls the Germans further from the eastern front.
If you could give us a list of your turn 1 builds, general strategies and how you lose it would help us figure out what is wrong.
There are only 2 times when I buy Art.
1. Russia, they add a punch to their inf stacks
2. My generic two transport task force of 2inf 1art and 1armr
