I have played a few times, but I have managed to take over UK on turn 2 of Germany. I built 2 transports on round one and I had enough plans and land invasion force to take out UK. That changes the game try that and you will see that the Allies will try to liberate UK, at that point you should be starting to push into USSR by Germany round 3 and since UK is a major factory dump a few man and fighters great defense, , I hope that helps.

I’m trying to find a way to avoid losing UK after round 2 of Germany.

We tried to build max man, and bring everything from the tactical to the man and tank from Canada, but it seems too little to help with the defense. What are the alpha rules?

I find that if Germany buys 2 transports on round 1, UK falls on round 2 of Germany, so far this works great and I want to try to find a blocking move with the Allies. If anybody has one I would like to hear it.

The most important detail is to buy 2 transports on round 1 for Germany, so far this works great and I want to try to find a blocking move with UK. If anybody has one I would like to hear it.

Not predictable, I agree because of the luck of the dice, but I have played 3 times since I got the game and using Germany on turn 1 take France and turn 2 I take UK and it work all 3 times, and after that it was over. I will try to use the Allies and see if I can counter the German but we look at it in all angles and the odds are against the Allies, that is my opinion.

Regardless I will use the Allies and try something different and I hope the outcome will be different.

I just played my first game and it’s fantastic, thank god I have the ipc from my original game :wink:
I’m extremely happy and I will buy the Pacific soon.
Is it me or the Axis have a good advantage, I landed in UK in round 2 and I stopped playing because my friend gave up after I was about to take out USSR. US was becoming a big threat but a bit too late, we played together both side to try to maximize are learning curve. We will try different approaches to try to defeat the Axis.

You are thinking to the rule for the aircraft; the aircraft cannot attack a sub if there is no destroyer in the water or else all naval units except the transport can defend against a sub and obviously on the first strike the boat if hit is removed and any other naval unit can defend.

I have been reading a lot of posts but is all hip or is the game that good? I own the original AA and after playing it a few times back in the day we converted it to play a bit like risk in other words have a home base and conquer territory and we just recently started again. The reason was because it was too easy to finish the game or the outcome was determined almost in the first few turns.

My question is this new version less predictable or the game is over in 2 to 3 rounds?

Some thoughts from season veterans would be appreciated.
