ncscswitch,

I am new at this so bear w/me.

how do this online tournaments work?

how do you enrol?

what is your take on this type of gaming?

Octo,

I share  some of GER strategies with you. I can’t recall a time ever spending money on a GER naval units. An infantry “buffer” must be created followed a stack of tanks.16 ipc’s means, 3 tanks standing in moscow after tense rolling.

Is anyone’s  group playing that tanks defend at 3 in the revised version?

yes, I understand the UK takes and USA takes before GER moves. I still would not bother with a stack of infantry in west euro. It is easier to concentrate your forces in GER (what you are putting on the board at the end of you turn), this allows you to counter a landing in west euro, east euro and GER.There is no point parceling out your defense.

piecemealing/ pennypackets- littile amount of troops.  Not able to concentrate a large amount of troops.

it takes away from the landing because the british are piece mealing their troops. Just try and see if it works for you.

Octo, no disrepect to your “Space for Rent”, your strategy is sound. I often use it myself.

i apologize for misplacing the forum.I am new.

But does anyone know of anything in Toronto?

“Space for rent” ? I call it screening. It is very effective. Especially on the eastern front. They can land all they want in the opening few rounds. This will take away from a serious landing in R4+.There is no point leaving a stack of infantry waiting to be slaughtered in western europe (even witrh fighters backing it up that are needed in Russia and N Africa).

Given its hard to win with the axis in classic. But Japan has alot of freedom to to expand where they want.

if they land in eastern europe, you simply squash them with units you are moving out to the eastern front. As for western europe, move the AA gun out on the R1 and leave only one man to cover the territory. Don’t piece meal your defense. Use your units purchased/placed in GER as your deferent  against landing. I think the most important thing as the GER player is concentration of available forces for a specific objective.

We never used balancing, probably should have. It was hard to win as the Axis. Japan is definitely the “ace in the hole” in the first game.

What is a bid?

They maybe able to land earllier than round 4 or 5 but is nothing more than a nusiance raid. If they want to piece meal their forces with small landings, let them.GER should not split her resources.

Thanks for the welcome. The new board definetly re-news my interest in the game. The factory in caucasus puts a nice new spin on the eastern front.

Sorry, Toronto

does anyone know of any A&A tournaments in Ontario, Canada?

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

My post is neither foolhardy nor brave. I have played A&A for 15 years, mostly as GER. GER is lucky to have a baltic/north atlantic fleet by R3.The major USA/UK landing will not happen unitl at least R5. At which time GER can counter a landing. The push to the east will determine the game.

German Naval Strategy

1. The baltic fleet is a bigger pain the ass if it is left in the baltic. Moving it out in the atlanic leaves it vunerable to Britsh counter-attack. It provides a far bigger PIA for the UK player to think about if it left where it is.

2. An ac on turn 1?  The war is decided on the eastern front. For 16 IPC’s you can put 4INF and 1ART on the board. Those 4INF will protect what is left of your tank forces. Farting around in the north atlanic is a secondary conflict. GER should not spend any money in this theater. UK does not pose a serious landing threat until turn 3 or 4 at which time you can counter with land based forces.
