What happens when you can’t knock out the

German transports/fleet and you loose a lot

of air power?

Don’t attack Manchuria with Russian troops

if you are using all three allied powers

against Germany. Play perventive defence

against Japan while crushing Germany with the

help of your allies. Remember for every

strength in your opponents army he has a

weakness. You and only you can determine what

it is. If he groups his forces and likes to

give a big knock out blow then avoid it and

knock him back to Berlin.

I took this one guy out in two rounds.

Needless to say he made a FATAL mistake.

I was the Axis

Once you move back to Russia to defend it

from Japan and Germany is still alive then

you are back to square one. Arn’t you? I

know you believe in the Germany first plan

but look at what I am saying it can easily

happen.

Well,

On that note I have actually used the sub to

kill the British transport and used other

Jap stuff to go after the US fleet. Therefor

I find better use of the Sub than as a

suicide. It is a logical move though.

One question-

What would you do if Germany game after game

held out against the onslought of the allies

while at the same time Japan took Russia?

Greensleeves is 100% accurate on this one.

In fact this strat… is probably what makes

him a winner…

I agree with Field Marshall and Major Damage

on this one. Everyone seemed to point out the

effects on Germany with the Fleet comming

over to the Atlantic but also having it in

the pacific isn’t good for Japan. That fleet

has to be taken care of regardless of the

round. So your best chance for the Axis is

Japan’s first turn.

I was using the 16 inf as an example refered

to earlier by someone else. Most attacks

on Kar… don’t come in the first round…

Wait… Okay I see that you plan on using the

US all out against Germany. Therefor you have

a sound plan. Let me ask you this though…

Would you place a strong defense in Kar with

Russia if you planned on using the US in a

way other than going all out for Germany?

Excellent!

I was just wandering since many of you all have

suggested different rules which you thought the fairest

to be. I personally don’t agree with Russia restricted.

Also I usually give Germany jet power and Japan super

subs. 2nd edition rules usually seem to be the best

for " equal rights " in the game. What is your opinion?

In my games the British force is non-existant

Also I don’t recall the Russians cutting into

any of my tanks. Tanks are great for

firepower therfor you should avoid there hits

as much as possible. 16 inf and a few

fighters go right down the tubes while the

Germans only loose some Inf….

I think Yanny has a pretty could handle on

the situation.

I once thought as you do.

I guess my plans are to complicated to write

an email about. I would have to write a

paper. So ask me a specific question and I

will give you an answer.

The US as a defensive power for UK and Russia

that means the US must HELP defend the UK

and Russia. Like I stated most axis players

don’t engage the US head on head they go

after the other two like you stated. Therefor

the US has to engage the axis by defending

UK and Russia. The US role could be totally

defensive or attacking depending on the

preference of the player. The US role depends

on the broad perspective in which they see

fit. For example if Germany went after Russia

immediately then the US would have to adopt

a different strat… than going after africa

and france (D-day). If they went after

Germany immediately (offensively) than

Russia might completely fall. Keep Russia

alive keep your options open. I hope that

clears things up.

I took a guy out in two rounds once and had

a game go 79 rounds. It was a slugout!

That is combined units Axis and Allies

With Russia I usually attack the seaport

with 1 sub 1trans and 1 fighter. I

anticipate the loss of the royal navy. I

protect that attacting Russian fighter

because it needs to be saved for future

engagements. Also the Russian sub can

withdraw and protect the fleet of England

(sometimes). The fleet of the Russian Navy

can be used to take hits by itself in the

Northern port of Germany by itself or used

in a defensive role when the Brits rebuild

a navy. The number of targets increase for

the German player causing him to make more

mistakes. Even if a single Russian ship

survives it annoys the hell out of the German

player possibly causing him to take another

risk hitting it with another air unit.

Many advantages in this attack.

Man I hear a lot of people talk up the eight

inf for Russia in the Northern port but I

would never do that. Those 8 could get rocked

and Russia may never recover from such a blow

There are many different options with Germany

but I think Inf are your best bet. Not to

say just Inf but never avoid them altogether

in the first round. Germany’s future depends

on the speed in which they can move their

Inf.
