The most creative I have seen is the surrender of England posted by James Aleman. If you think it is pure nonsense, put your pieces on the board and go through several turns. It is interesting.
The James Aleman Surrender London strat
I remember that one, it still makes me laugh!
If your going to attack japan with Russia it need to be done later in the game…. I like to back off a bit at first while I get a couple units on the western border of china. Then when japan is just about to go after Calcutta and china is almost out Russia moves in on all fronts taking either Manchuria/Korea or both and also back up china on their western front. This causes all sorts of problems for japan because they’re usually a little short on land units by this time.
Finally someone who I agree with>
I like it I gotta try this on my friends. They have never played AAA. Also did you do this (jkljikljljiljil) with your name j? Lol because I love it.
What kinda fun is squashing is rooks? Does it make you feel superior?
All in all a very good strategy if you wany to lose London
Just four. I wanted to use more, but the timing, and England’s persistence of interfering with my maritime activities forced me to reinforce my fleet with a carrier, as opposed to placing three more transports in Normandy. Also, Russia was built up to a very imposing force, but Germany starts with enough men to play defense on the Eastern borders, and if you devote all your ipc to land troops starting G3 you should still be able to push the russians back, because even if the attack on U.S. fails, the Western allies have been crippled so much you don’t need to worry about them for at least 3 turns (maybe 4)
Way to go Jimmy Mullen
ok…. so last night we finished the game where i did this strategy and the allies conceded. the only negative thing i found from the axis point of view was that japan stalled in asia. perhaps an IC or more transports to asia would have helped, but that was a small problem.
OMG You mean as Japan you never built even 1 IC on the mainland> Whoops I forgot about your previous post regarding the UK player not scrambling turn 1 to defend his fleet. So I’m assuming he turtled in India if you never placed any IC’s on the mainland. I just don’t see your KAF working on any experienced player.

USA also needs to be careful of retaking central USA outright from the Germans becuase this may open them to a japan counter, depending. It’s quite hard for the USA to defend BOTH W and E (much less all 3) if they don’t know what’s coming round 1 (or as will likely be the case, round 2)
Wow I can’t even believe your still going on about this No-win strat. At lease if you do Sealion you get the UK cash and stop them from building any new units. Taking central USA has ZERO strategic value and you don’t get the America cash not to mention you have NO reinforcements. With this strat you are going to bankrupt the Axis for a gain of 12 IPCS. Way go Noobkiller
How are 3 reinforcements a turn (Minor IC) “NO reinforcements”
Like I said, if USA takes C USA back, they might be susceptible to a severe japan counter.
How do you build out of a factory you have just taken? As for a Japanese counter attack: If WUS upgrades USA1 they would never even try to invade.
Lol if USA upgrades USA1 I say mission accopmplishedand laught at their waste of 20 IPCs and pursue a more conventional strat. If they know it’s coming it doesn;t work, obviously. Have any valid points?
I would gladly pay 20IPC’s to see you go on a more conventional mission. At least it would shut you up going on and on about your fantasy of invading the USA. This isn’t even your thread but you talk like you have been conquering America for years. Your just riding along on keplar galvin’s coatails trying to steal his thunder……

As for walking all the way to Moscow from the Pacific takes 6 turns. Didn’t Stalin say: “Not one step back”? Take heed to what JS says any you won`t have Tojo kicking in your backdoor.
Wasn’t stalin’s order that you mention about Operation Blue and Stalingrad, and not anything to do with Japan? (yes)
WTF I’m not interested your history lesson, just good gaming strategy…. And thats why I’m not asking you for any because you mentioned your a noob. Your rants surely point to your inexperience and short comings.
Lol I was mocking you for your comments in the other thread, but it’s clear you’re too ignorant to understand much anything of value. Quit trolling or leave. I’ll add the rolleyes to better express my point above, so ignorami such as yourself can better see the sarcasm the comment was dripping with
Nice, more positive input from everybodys favorite rook killer…… Please put your hands together for the Sultan of Sarcasum, The Titan of Trolling, The Ayatolla of Mazolla>>>>>the one the only MR. Mantlefan!!! I AM GOD
Seriously though I have reviewed some of his other posts and they all seem to have a common theme: everyone else is wrong.
G is right…. NEVER stay on the coastline with your army or you will get pounded big time! As for walking all the way to Moscow from the Pacific takes 6 turns. Didn’t Stalin say: “Not one step back”? Take heed to what JS says any you won`t have Tojo kicking in your backdoor.
I was wondering what players do with the 18 Inf located in Eastern Russia.
Feedback sought>
This whole strategy rides on that UK player is a rookie and does not scramble, and you dice rolls are Perfect. No way Germany can sink all the royal navy like that unless his dice rolls are 100% perfect.
His whole strategy rides on playing his son and his rookie friends after school

At the end of J1 if America feels treatened they simply upgrade their Western IC. That will eliminate any Japanese threat and with Japan throwing themselves off a cliff trying to engage the USA it would make it soooooooooooooo easy for India to liberate the Burma road etc, etc>>>>>>>>>>>>
The most dangerous thing that could happen to Japan is a UK declaration, which simply won’t happen UK1, and if it happens UK2 (it will happen UK3), there’s not too much to worry about outside of the hong kong infantry and landing maybe formosa.
What happens when the Russians kick down Japan’s back door? Grab your ankles and take a deep breath!

Your right! this is not the best strategy…… However this would be the best strategy if you wanted to waste 3.5 hours of other players time. Way to fall on your sword>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So only the strategy that is proven to be the best should EVER be attempted? Let’s play all games according to the same
Why does a strategy not being the best mean that it’s impossible?
Having the right to speak your “mind” doesn’t mean you should. Please provide some evidence to support your claims, or (I’m putting it politely here) shut up!
What about a Japanese stack in 6 on J2 makes USA suspicious? Why does USA know automatically that when Germany does a fairly standard sealion until G3, they are coming for the USA?
Speaking of shut up the original post states that the Italians are in Sz92
@mantlefan:
If the USA figures out what you are up to on USA2 this strat still forces them to waste a few buys on securing the continent. This is actually not a bad strat for getting pearl. Once the Japan get’s pearl with this scare, it’s honestly not that far for Germany to INDIA. Sounds crazy, but UK has been hemmed in through 2 turns of sealion scare, USA had to play defensive and get lots of land units and planes, and if Japan can put most everyhitng into holdiong pearl and going hardcore into india, and Germany can survive long enough, the german/italian/japanese combo could take india. Remember, only 6 are necessary for the victory.
I’m not saying this is the best strategy, but the fact that it can simultaneously put USA and UK in fear of their capitals can make things very interesting.

What was the American player buying this whole time? Bombers??? An experienced USA player would have bulked up enough home defence to stop any invasion upon seeing the Nazi Navy marshaling in Sz 91. As well how does Japan attack Eastern US?
WHATEVER…. Sounds to me like this was a very short game……UK producing tanks in South Africa, Russia practically unopposed on the Eastern front, Italy out of Africa, India/Anzac unattacked and in possesion of the money islands. China building artillery.Way to screw the game kid>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Before they are at war, USA can only build 3 per complex a turn. At least the first 2 buys for US players ARE mostly Naval and air. Honestly if the axis Gets USA who gives a darn what the chinese are doing lol?
Looking at this situation, US really only has reason to believe it will be attacked (at least in the East) on it’s third buy. By then it might be too late to build enough.
Hey Rook, thanks for tip on limited production! The only way the USA will ever be invaded is if Mantlefan is playing them.
