Sorry I send them to Russia they just stop in uk for one turn see I stack uk fighters in west Russia and the American bombers somewhere in soviet territory it depends on the situation and how many bombers also depend but my last game it was at a point I had 7uk fighters in west Russia and 2 USA fighters Germany never could take it the whole game and ended up with 15 USA bombers in the sky in the end japan fell first but yes use American bombers any way u see fit they can do a lot also if need be u can use the factory in India to bring troops to help Russia

I almost always buy 2 artillery 1 inf to place in India and 2fighters in the uk .  So if the Soviet Union takes west Russia like they should I start sending fighters there from uk till I get like 7 fighters over there. On the attack on sea zone 37 I only do it if I get a bid that I can spend on a extra sub that I put in sea zone 35 if not japan can win with the bid uk should win. I also try to reinforce Egypt as much as possable . With the USA  I like to build a massive bomber fleet and send to Russia as well and some to uk to bomb the Germans back to the Stone Age bomber fleet strategy is a blackelk strategy credit to him

40 is fun but only one group will play 40 cause the time it takes. I have been taking my games to a local game shop to teach peoe to play and almost Always bust out 1942.2 and have just explained the others to them some people there want to play global when they see it but I’m afraid it will scare new players away and that’s why I teach with1942.2 but like you all said the board is ugly but the game if very fun and balanced with equal players I see no need for a bid . The game is like dating a ugly girl but she is more fun than any hot girl you have been with.

I think most people hate 1942 second edition and would rather play spring 42 first edition or AA 50th anniversy edition why ? AA 50th had balance issues and well second is just a better updated version from spring 42 . I just want to know why all the hate

Ya I would also play 1942 second edition it’s not easy and not more complex like global or nwo a great starter game I think it’s ww2v5 on triple a

One Germany open they hit the sea zone off east us I destroy US fleet , Germany has one sub left. On USA turn they purchas 2 destroyers and drop them in that Seazone . On Germany’s turn during combat can I move my sub out of that sea zone or will destroyes prevent this

Great idea I will post mine tonight and any feed back would be great one thing your NO’s look like NA’s I’m thinking there is a way to do both keep balance in the game and stool have fun

I just tried bomber strategy it worked well game took shape when I had 8 bombers in uk and 9  in Russia and the English have 8 figs in west Russia it ended allied victory I took japan out

Curtis wilkinson KC or saint joseph Missouri I have every edition of axis and allies my email is curtiwankenobi@yahoo.com

Just looking for ideas for no’s for this game

But you can get bugs in a zip file and tripla a has no bugs in its zips

Ok didn’t think so my better half blamed the game for it

I have had problems with two laptops after I download the game

I like the idea a lot black elk and think you should have a job for axis and allies R&D but in the end it’s all about the cash the more games they put out the more cash they get.

I like a bid of 9 but I almost always give it all to uk 1 inf in Egypt and 1 sub in sz 35 with that bid it makes Egypt safe for at least 3 turns and by that time I have move other units there and kick the Germans out of North Africa and the sub makes the attack on sz 37 a must

In you’re group games has any one had success with America playing a balanced approach vs the Germans and japan it looks to me they need to go 100% KGF or KJF if any one has a good balanced approach let me know please

Well it’s not my normal Far East strategy but think it would be fun have the us put pressure on japan by island hoping to set yourself in striking range of japan . Max out your bury stack with your bid if you get one and fighter from Russia and fighter from the carrier from India also have Brits build 3 tanks per turn in India for the most part kick japan off the main land and by the time the us coul of takin Borneo and East Indies at the very least and be in striking range of japan. If you are very aggressive with the US I don’t think japan could defend there hold on the Asian main land if allies pressure from India and a huge bury stack only thing your fighters would have to be able to turn back to defend Moscow ASAP

Need to know what I should use to print a great one I want to keep at home

I love IL board but just printed a cheap travel one and

Also in the east should Russia stack inf to keep china or pull back in my games if I stack Russian inf on the Manchuria front it helps keep the us fighter alive but I always loose my stack and if I don’t well kiss the us fighter by by it also reinforce it with one Russian inf and the British fighter from the coast of India so stack or no stack
