As i said, they can stuff it…  No more buys for me, they mishandled the Aniversery edition (limited edition ftl) and the tripleA issue.

So screw them lets make sure tripleA stays online one way or the other.

Is there a game lobby for trippla anywhere? IRC etc?

We need to get the lobby going again.

they can´t really ban a lobby, even if we only uses a IRC channel it would suffice. then we just set up a normal direct connect game.

This is bu*****t…

Since it´s impossiable for me to buy Axis and allies aniverary edition, i now can´t play that game at all… :(

So the logic is, don´t make new copies, disable the online option, present no new “solution/products”  wtf?

edit: trying to improve spelling a little.

Put 5 inf there 2+3 bought.

Threathen with a russian counterattack with forces from moscow, WRU.

It forces germany to commit forces if they want to take caucasus, but they woin´t have enought to hold it.

2 arm tied up in WE

if you kill Uk navy in sz2 there are no reason 2 arm should be in Wester europe thought.

@F6FHellcat:

With Sea Zone 14 Fleet to Sea Zone 13, no way to take Anglo-Egypt convincingly.  Even with 1 bid unit to Libya United Kingdom can retake Anglo-Egypt.

Bid unit as Submarine to Sea Zone 8 make Un-Baltic not ideal.  Paper is better as written then with Submarine bid.

Rule for strategy for all nation is check back door.  Un-Baltic with Submarine bid leave back door open to United Kingdom.

not a problem.

Germany can take Egypt with 1 arm most times when hitting it with 2 inf, 2 arm.

Uk counterattack makes asia fall faster for Japan anyway.

japan will be in africa by J4 (5 max)

Germany will hit egypt G2 if needed.

UK/us wont dare touch Algeria due to inferior fleet/air assets. making baltic fleet either getting hit by UK air with potentially disastrous result for uk as consequence.

@F6FHellcat:

If bid is Germany Submarine in Sea Zone 8, Anglo-Egypt battle lose.  United Kingdom gain advantage in Mediterranean that reverse Germany gain in Atlantic.  Germany then have 3 fleet to face:  United Kingdom Atlantic, United States Atlantic, United Kingdom Mediterranean.

Bid better to Libya to make sure of Anglo-Egypt for this move.

Germany only needs to kill Egypt, and take it with 1 unit to prevent uk escape to miditeranian.

Japan will take Africa from round 4 anyway.

And UK will be sitting still on their island building expensive capital ships because they don´t dare move against the luftwaffe…

And a attack on Baltic navy can go well or horriably wrong for uk, so the German possition is a strong one with such an act.

tbh thought this is a better move combined with a sub bid in sz8 abd killing the sz 2 navy.

it´s still a strong play, agains many oponents, and in some situations. (when us actually go KJF)

killing japan seems to be even more unfashionable then before, so i would add, that you should hit earl massivly and then do more or lesss as you describe…  - the dest if us doesn´t counter.

But i have another playstylr i think with japan, goes for rapid expansion and multiple IC´s.

two will do if you set it up from ECA to UK, UK to Norway, and build troops in EUS and move them to ECA,

So you need to be 1 turn ahead with your soldier buys.

But they don´t load same “time”…

UK loads in his turns, us moves the trn, uk unloads in his next turn, US loads and un loads as well in his turn.

Thats the chain of events.

Since we are speaking about transports here i came across a somewhat strange thing the other day playing tripple a.

Is it a legal move for the US to let UK load their troops onto US transports in UKS turn (this i know is ok)

AND (here comes the tricky part)

Unload in next uk turn. (yes i know still ok)

And the in the same turn US loads and ofloads with the same transports? (here is where im in doubt, thought it´s allowed by tripple a engine)

Well to be honest using numerous Sbr´s are a desperate tactic at best.

You use it when you really, really need to make it happend. Otherwise it´s just to risky. (imho)

but then i can’t gurantee the win in ukraine

Never do ukraine…  exposed russia hardware in g1, imho very bad for Russia.

I feel you can live with the results of a failure and still win te game, but it´s different how we all roll.

i play tripple a now and then :)

Another issue, you are building only tanks it sounds like. You need inf on the front against russia, as you will be swapping terr with them for a few rounds.

Don´t swap.

Await critical mass and force russia to withdraw to moscow, then use germany/japan 1-2 punch.

And if you want to use tokey you are not expanding your IPC´s (need lebensraum ;)  )

Agreed, but about Europe, is there really absolutely no counter for the German tank stacks?

Agreed, its a guaranted win each time.

A strong bid IMHO is a sub to sz7, then wipe sz2 on g1

if you want to Hurt japan you should do the following:

6 inf in buryatia
2 arm in yakut

sink trn in sz59

Hit FIC with 3 inf 1 fig

Consolidate UK carier, 2 trn and 1 sub in SZ30

land uk bomber in novosibirsk.

Counterstrike Pearl with US if it´s viable.

This will force japan to do a lot of really hard chhoices, and if everythng fails allies can continue killing Germany with more or less 0 lost time.
