I say your in excellent position to divert some forces to Japan. I think you should start building Pacific navy. but send some forces to africa. but you need to atleast bockade the suez if your building in the pacific. then move you bombers to the middle of the board. also you should attack FIC with india.  but what happened to russia. I hope that is an invisible chips under your sole inf in the ukraine. and that it stands for 100.

@Emperor:

Given the choice of Tech development for US, Rockets are better than Heavy Bombers, both tech’s cost the same to develope.  Under LHTR 2.0 Heavy Bombers roll 2 dice and select the best of the 2 dice for damage.  Given the fact that bombers can be shot down, and their damage is only slightly better than rockets, it makes since to go for rockets.  US can place a Rocket in range of Germany on US1.  The cost to build additional bombers is $15, AA are $5.

Heavy bombers suck then. it only improves your attack for a bomber from 2/3 to 8/9. so that it increase a unit with a good shot at hitting anyway and used sparingly by 22.2% if it affected infantry instead then it would be great.

I might be missing the boat here, but I don’t see the importance of Australia?

The greatest significance from capturing Australia & New Zealand when playing the Axis is in reducing UK economic capabilities.

yes you are right. I forgot to count the ipc 2 ways. (axis and allies is a zero sum game). so it would be worth it. I just have it low on the priority list.
but is it worth the cost to to kill all those inf that will not be able to harm anything if let be?

The three ipc’s means one less inf for the axis AND one more for the allies.  It’s a net 6 ipc’s every turn.  You don’t think 2 inf per turn can make a significant difference?  The point is not to kill the infs, it’s to keep their buddies from showing up in Europe where they can do real damage.

wow i can’t quote. this is my response:

Yes, it is.  :mrgreen:

I said you were right. I said it wasn’t worth it at first and then i realized i didn’t count the ipcs as double(once to gain and once to loss). so Austrilia is worth it but I think there are much more important things to do. I prefer landing in Africa rather than austalia. but my attempt at fixing my messed up quote resulted in screwing it up further. cuz if you read my post it has two conflicting view points.

what happened? i don’t see any reason to close the thread. last I saw people were arguing over sex changes. doesn’t sound too political to me. I’m not questioning your decision, I’m just curious about what happened.

@Linkon:

The common Axis strategy is KRF.

Spend where you can win.

Spend where you can easily divide and conquer your opponent.

Yes i know that thank you. actually i said the russian’s over extend and now i am hitting them hard.

@Guerrilla:

You think Canadians sit around and joke all day?

GG :-D

no, they sit around a hole in the ice with poles and joke all day eh.  then at night they go moose tipping eh.

@Cmdr:

You know, there used to be a good KAF strategy out there, but it’s been years since I’ve played it.

I am thinking it should be possible to confuse the allies into thinking you are going to invade England then race around it with your transports and hit E. Canada from there you can stage an invasion of E. USA.  Of course, Japan would have to assist iwth an assault on the West.

I that is what i was thinking. either that or I was going to sneak into brazil but the game is almost over. because i only had a few inf rd, 2 russia overextended self in the east and the west. so he will be hurting now. for some reason the US built a pacific fleet and I just bombed the uk fleet he just built. If you are the US  and you see Germany building major boats why in the world would you build in the west? maybe he thought because the uk had africa and rusisia had more ipcs than me they couldn’t screw up. oh well he was wrong.

@Funcioneta:

You cannot take Egypt and conserve India. Build the IC at Australia or simply ignore the japaneses. In both cases, for a so-called KJF, USA must build fleet in West Coast, and heavy.

If you build the IC in Australia, kill the z59 trannie, or Japan can conquer it in J2

a south africa IC is also viable.(build land units first and then ships) basically that would put the UK in charge of Africa and the crown in the far east. so the us and russia won’t have to worry much about helping you there.

I might have an opportunity to do a kaf. I am Germany and am playing on gamesbyemail. (the only time i play orginal after maddog left) he was a good player too bad he was such an ass. It is currently japan’s first turn but I bought a carrier for italy. (yes i know it crazy) but as of now I have a sub and carrier off italy, and a trans and a battle ship off of algeria. they will meet up with two fighters in the mid atlantic. but britain  only has a trans off britan. ( the US has its one original one. ) but the uk’s move was just as interesting as mine. He put a factory  in Egypt. we both have 4 inf, and a tank in algeria and he has his in egypt while he has 45 ipcs. Depending on what the board looks like in turn 2 and if my partner agrees we might go for the US. They only problem is i am very thin in the east though. does any one think this is plausible? I don’t really want advice since the game is on going. but this game is turning out very interesting so i thought i would share. also has anyone ever down a KAF in classic?

@allies_fly:

@Cmdr:

Here’s a hypothetical I was asked by a student today. (He was referring to his English paper, I teach Math, he thought I would be safer to approach I guess.)

He asked, and I’m paraphrasing here, if it was okay to purchase a paper from a paper mill (aka a company that writes papers for you and sells them to you) if, and here’s the catch, he only used that paper as a source for his own paper, putting the ideas into his own words.

nice irony.

You paraphrased someone asking you if it was ok to paraphrase

:)

that deserves some good karma allies_fly.  I didn’t think of Jenn’s statement like that until you said something.

@Crazy:

:|
Silly plan Amon, very silly indeed. :-P

at first glance i thoght the same thing. but he could potentially use the IC to sail to africa and then sail to India. especially if the UK puts an IC in India and can hold for a couple of extra turns.

i know you can’t land air units but I think you can move land units there. ( its rare that you would have the chance because it is usally better just to send the extra units into combat)

@Adlertag:

@Johnny.Groningen:

When it’s Germany’s turn he does a attack on Anglo-Egypt.
After that Africa is always lost. Can somebody tell me how i have to wipe him out of Africa?

Johnny

Sure man. Russia 1 buy one carrier and one sub and place them in Black Sea, and land the two fighters on the carrier. Now Germany must attack the Red Fleet, and ignore Egypt. If Germany ignore the Red fleet and attack Egypt, then their battleship and tranny are killed in Russia 2.

or he attacks your fleet and your weaken eastern front. and he has a very strong foothold in the caucuses by G3. (the bunnyforces  and Darth Vader couldn’t help russia if he did what you said.

oh yeah what happened to frood? he’s still here right? (i’ve been gone for a while)

I like the southern route better because it picks up those undefended far away ipcs at the very least or could hurt the US. The southern route really works best in classic. The good thing about the southern route is you can possible sail to Brazil and West Africa with your extra transports. The only problem is it is rare for me to have those extra transports to sail the ends of the earth. That is probably just me because I usually only build one IC in india and rely  mostly on my trans.

IF Russia is stacking in WRuss and the Caucuses maybe you should try  going med. If you build a transport or two in Italy then it threatens africa and the allies might be discouraged to even land without a large force. But then you can bombard the Caucuses and land with more units. This will place a lot of pressure on the caucuses if you can stack in the Ukraine as well.    Then you can use your fleet to secure the med and Africa after it helps with Europe. Also if you can strafe the russian units because you have like an extra 4 aircraft.

@DarthMaximus:

I just want to thank Switch for his time modding and running the tourneys etc.  It is no small feat to get those things up and running and actually come to a conclusion.

Great job and thanks.  I certainly hope you continue to post here from time to time.

Darth

I second everything Darth said and most of these posts. I hope you are still active on the boards though. Thank you for do such an outstanding job as moderator. I think it’s disgusting that you have more negative than positive karma. you have my thanks.

It depends if how I feel. I like Japan and Russia the best so it depends on which on who i’d rather be at that moment. i should be more active on these boards after school ends on the 21st.
