I definitely think the CSub essays spark thought, and are fairly good for newer players like myself when I first picked up the game.  They give a player food for thought on how to approach the game, and maybe ways to go about coming up with strats of their own.  Sure, once you get better you don’t have to follow everything to a T, but it’s all about ideas and developing your own, with a good kickstart from others,whether it be CSub or from some other source.

You could always use those transports to secure Africa and get more forces to Ukraine/Caucasus. That could work as well.

What about buying a second carrier mebbe later on down the road, such as Ger 3 or 4? I realize it might nto be around that long even with  1 AC, but it could boost your Baltic defenses even more, especially with 4 fighters. yes, they may/will get wiped out, but they will provide some great defense and will destroy a nice part of the Allied fleet, depending on who it is.  I just thought of a 2nd AC lately, but you’d probably ahve to have lots of guys on the ground first. Just do a mass inf build from Ger 2 to 4/5, then do the buy, if the fleet is still around.

wow, Jen, must have sucked to be you when that happened! :-D :-P Hope you learned from that.

@Jennifer:

Equally as bad is stacking W. Russia and not doing anything else.

Why give Germany an extra fighter?  You have plenty of ability to kill it off with minimal losses and Germany really is not in a position to rebuild it.  Especially if they buy a carrier!

WHy can’t Germany just rebuild another fighter down the line after a couple rounds? It’s not as if there’s anything stopping a person if they’ve got enough infantry on the board to add another figther to the arsenal.  As long as a person isn’t spread too thin and can spare $10 bucks, buy another fighter.

Transports can go into battle, they just don’t have any offensive capablities.  And they can be used as good fodder.

Can someone tell me what type of dice server DAAK is? What I mean by that, is is it no luck, low luck, something else?  Because I’m just trying to compare how it works as compared to that FROOD one, so I can test out situations and see the outcome that might actually come about while playing on DAAK.  thanks

And if you ever go further west, the Queen City (aka Regina) has plenty of A&AR players.

I would have to agree with Frimmel on the Egypt point.  If you don’t take it, it is somewhat a hard slog afterward; I had my entire attacking force wiped out in a single attack by Frim’s men even with a bid.

@tcnance:

if my opponent makes that purchase in r 1 i start planning my victory speech :-D

My fellow Germans, you’ve heard the news, and now you’re going to hear, the rest of the story! :-P

@jsp4563:

My axioms are:

1st Axiom  Don’t do something stupid.

2nd Axiom If you did something stupid, don’t do it again.

3rd Axiom If you’re still doing the same stupid thing…STOP!!!

4th Axiom If you can’t stop doing the same stupid thing, lock your game up in the closet.

:roll:

I’ll admit to the first one for sure.  Although, my mistake was more… an oversight than anything.  :-P Which, of course, cost me the capital in the second round, from whcih I was never never never able to recover fully. :-o

@xenon:

“Sink the German Navy as soon as practical.”

Right you are!

What´s your first axiom?

It’s probably take out his capital as quick as you can! :-P :-D

What do people normally use for a dice server when they play online games against someone? What one works the best, or is the most efficient? I’ve never played online so I just want to know which one will be or should be the one I use.  And what does ADS stand for again? how does it work versus low luck or no luck.  I usually prefer the real dice so… yeah.

I have tried all the gaming shops in my city and htey don’t carry anything like those chips.  I pretty much have to buy a new A&AR box just to get those chips.  That wouldn’t honestly be too bad, actually, since I don’t have enough pieces for the Japs and Germans at times.  And yeah, I too wondered why they would send risk.  I don’t care much for Risk and won’t even bother to open it.
