I debated taking West Russia, but I figured it best to put some space between the Nazi advance and the Motherland. I still don’t feel completely confident on my stack sizes, but I think that I am doing better than last time.

What do you define as a medium stack? Is it a stack that approaches the size of the stacks bordering it, yet not clearly larger?

Meh…I think that goes both ways.  As to whether the bomber would be too strong, I think it might be good for the game now.  On the other side, if I had a bomber, I would immediately buy another one.  Lots of creative things to do with that bomber…I think it could prove to be pretty strong…but that’s just my opinion.

Brain Damaged was a member I enjoyed during my early days on this site.

Wow, miss a few days drinking and dancing…well watching others dance anyways…but I digress.  We no longer have an expert on the WWII food thingee/justification whatchermacallit?

Thank you Garg. We were great pioneers in this and is not that well documented. Probably because it had to be kept secret and most of them died. Reading the Italian comments most Italians would rather forget about it now!

@FM7:

I just posted this question in a different thread: Is the starting set up fairly similar to A&A?  For example, do the axis begin with air superiority?  Are there any other unit types (mech. art.) that A&A doesn’t have?

Thanks

Download the setups and rules from BGG and this will answer your question!!

I’m willing to help someone turn this into a TripleA map

however, i’m not willing to do it myself, cus i don’t have the time (and also never played this map)

That was AWESOME.
XD

I tricked you into clicking the link into this thread.  It’s not Recruitment.  It’s the DRAFT!

As there is a limit of 20 PM’s per hour (wow, yes I just found out) I figured a post about this event was warranted in General discussion.

Thus…

YOU HAVE JUST BEEN OFFICIALLY DRAFTED FOR
GARGANTUA’S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN.

IT’S WAR!  And from hence forth, you are now to call yourself a soldier of AA.org.

Your orders are to report to this (link below) section of the forums IMMEDIATELY, and follow said instructions.

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27103.0

FAILURE to do so, will result in diminished social status on the site.  You will be considered ‘un-cool’.  The time has come, you must fall in line!

NO EXCUSES will be accepted, whether you play the game or not, or whether you have the programs installed or not is irrelevant, you WILL succeed in your total conversion into an AA.org Championship contender.

MOVE OUT SOLDIERS! MOVE! MOVE!

General Garg salute’s you!

It’s been 5 years!

Jeremy, you just had to ask the right people.  Accidents do have a funny way of occurring sometimes……

Sorry guy maybe next time.
I redone my kitchen and it’s not finish yet!!

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.7.0.3, time: 18:53:30

Or……ARE YOU THE SAME  :-o

I think Jermofoot has it.

@Uncrustable:

You are all so blind :(

April fooled so hard

If it’s not on April 1st, it’s not an April fools joke … it’s just douchebaggery.

The important thing to understand is that once a transport offloads, it can’t do anything else (move, load, or offload) for the rest of the turn.  Also, it can only offload into one territory.  If you remember these things, most everything else falls into place.

@techroll42:

Actually, IIRC, there’s a helluva good reason: Mongolia. IIRC Mongolia doesn’t convert if USSR declares war.

Nope.  Only if Russia attacks a Japanese controlled territory bordering Mongolia before Japan does the same.  That means Manchuria almost specifically, but also addresses if Russia were to attempt to liberate Japanese held Chinese territories adjacent to Mongolia.  Note that Japan is free to attack chinese territories occupied by Russian soldiers and that will result in no penalty, as they are chinese (not russia) territories.

There’s absolutely nothing that penalizes either for a state of war between them.  It’s better for Japan if the US can’t land bombers in Russia and if the reds don’t reinforce china or india, but there’s NOTHING that prevents Russia from declaring war R1 and freeing movement for themselves (and their allies) on the pac board.

Soviet/Japanese Non Aggression Pact: Due to their mutual border conflct with Japan in 1939, the Soviet Union and Mongolia have a special relationship. If the Japanese attack any Soviet territory that is adjacent to any Mongolian territory, all Mongolian territories (Olgiy, Dzavhan, Tsagaan-Olom, Central Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and Buyant-Uhaa) that are still neutral are placed under the control of the Soviet Union at the end of the Japanese Combat Move phase, in the same manner as though the Soviet Union had moved land units into a friendly neutral territory. These territories have Soviet control markers placed on them, and their standing army units are placed on the board and are controlled by the Soviet Union player from then on. This occurs regardless of the state of relations between the Soviet Union and Japan at the time of the attack, with one exception: If the Soviet Union attacks any Japanese-controlled territory bordering these Mongolian territories while Mongolia is still neutral, Mongolia will remain neutral and not ally itself with the Soviet Union. In addition, the Mongolian territories will never become pro-Axis unless one or more of them is attacked by the Soviet Union.

Attacking is different from declaring war.  Japan and Russia are free to declare war on each other without ever attacking each other at any time, over the entire length of the game.
