Russia didn’t have the bomb until 1949.

I never really considered any Axis and Allies game a historical recreation of WW II. There are plenty of far more in depth games for that, but, most of those games are 12 hours or more to play. Axis and Allies is a World War Two-ish game that I can play in an afternoon. Honestly, the problem with the hyper accurate WWII simulations is that I all ready know who wins (thanks to Wikipedia), so what’s the fun.

it should be (:)aaa 4@1 2@3 1@4(:)  You just remove the parenthesis. Also note there is no space between the colons and the next/previous characters.

Edit: nevermind you got it.

I don’t agree, that’s why there are editors. They should have caught the typos or asked for clarifacation if the rules seemed ambiguous. If people blame Krieg or Larry, I suspect it’s simply because they are the most accessable.

Editted for spelling (I blame Krieg)

You have to figure a US invasion scenario is something that got heavily playtested. There would be no point in releasing a game that is over in three rounds. Honestly, I think the game favors the Allies more then the Axis, and balancing Euro40 will be even more difficult.

Man, without Wikipedia I wouldn’t even know who won this war!

Even this is debatable.  The allies won from a military standpoint.  The Soviet Union and US tied in standings after the war.  And some may say there are no winners in war, in which case Switzerland was the clear winner.

Actually, it’s not debateable…I seriously would not know who won without Wiki.

Go to view and on the drop down click on big pieces. I believe this will make the toolbar repop.

I’m sold…lets make Mongolia (but not Canada) a major power!

The map looks good to me. If you want to post one map for both of us, or if you’d rather do two seperate maps, just let us know. I’m cool with whatever you’re comfortable with.

Do you know how the play by forum works, and do you have the battlemap downloaded? If not gamerman can point you at some links that will describe how it all works. I can do it too, but, you’ll have to put up with Mr. Awesome drool.

I’m down for a game. I’d love to see this in action. Feel free to start a forum game. At the very least, either way it should be quick.

I don’t know if you want to play 2 at once, Tragedy, but if you just want to play Gwla, I understand.  Just let me know.

Lol, either way they’d both be quick games, this start is really kind of a make or break move.

Honestly, if you move against Alaska on turn one, I’m not sure how you cannot see that coming. Likewise if the entire Japanese fleet consolidates in Japan on turn 1 I assume it’s to move against the US.

I don’t think it really matters if you take Alaska back as long as you build a solid defense. Unless the US player doesn’t see it coming, a move against the Western US is a bad strat.

Success in Africa takes IPC’s away from the UK and gives the allies something else to do besides prepare to invade Germany. It’ll be intersting to see how the game is set up.

Seems like the game logistics of getting German units into Africa would make it more trouble then it’s worth, and I hate giving up on Africa as the Axis.
