what are the flaws of p40? what are the flaws of the origial pacific?

just curious

it is so unfair that germany gets to go before UK because Strategic Planner usually invades UK. should i insist on uk and ussr go before germany? would USSR and UK going first then germany help or hurt the allies and would it help or hurt the axis?

strategic planner usually invades london. how do i deal with london being invaded? do i attack it or leave it alone?

i am choosing between pacific and p40

i play a&a and almost always lose. i really need help. my main opponent is a better player than me. please give me strategies. thanks in advance.

Should cooperative attacks be allowed? What are the pros and cons?

don’t give it bad ratings due to game balance because you can always fix that

my main opponent(strategic planner) is desperate to buy this game and i want to know whether to invest half of the cost in  it or not

i’m just curious  about how you think about this game

i think it should be

I have a strategy: G1:Take out the British  Navy (uk homeland only) with as many fighters as you can that were not purchased. Try to regain lost territory. Evacuate all units except for 1 unit in each tt the middle of your empire .Buy naval (except submarines){preferably cruisers}. G2: Take out the British Med. navy with as many fighters as you can purchased or not purchased. Buy infantry to defend Africa if your naval battles went in your favor. If the naval battles were in UK’s favor, buy all navy again like i instructed with turn 1. Try to regain at the maximum 2 lost tt’s if you lost any tt’s. G3: Invade London. Buy all fighters. Move all fighters not in victory cities to London.G4: Invade Russia, first with Karelia, then Caucases and buy all tanks and stockpile them where and if you succeeded. If you failed, put the tanks in your nearest territory to Karelia or Caucauses. G5: Take Archangel, if you suceed, take Moscow. If not, invade Moscow with all of your tanks within reach. Buy all tanks. G6: You suceed. Now help out Japan. Don’t focus on the US at all.

Thanks Fleetwood Dan. 
IC’s cost 15 IPC’s. That is a totally unacceptable price. Realistically, a good price would be 5-10 ipcs.
To me, IC’s are overpriced because it is unfair to Japan,UK, and USSR and especially when you want to make a minor investment. but  build units there. The IC’s are unfair because of the economical disadvantages to UK,USSR, and Japan, in order to build a unit in a place you have to build a IC, they prevent secondary front investments, they can’t move or defend, and the hypothetical theory that in a place you can only build the number of units the territory’s ipc is worth.

focus on taking 1 of 3 routes to connect Germany and Japan
Route 1: take buryatia,sfe,yukut,ENO,etc.
Route 2: take China, Sinkiang, Kazakh, and Caucauses.
Route 3: take india, persia, trans-jordan, possibly egypt, and possibly Caucauses and kazakh

do the A&a battle calculator. only conquer 2 territories a turn and put all focus on germany.

dump the idea of invading the US. My opinion: focus on Rest and Rebuild OR helping Germany.

I hate factories and my brother won’t let me play without them. Factories are overpriced and have extremely unfair rules. Can you give me ways to convince my brother to let me play without factories.

my brother will not let me do “Alternate Country Combinations” when i play with him. Please post if you have a way of convincing him to allow us to do different country combos. Thanks in advance

My brother and i play spring 42 and he beats me alot. Any allied strategy will help. Thanks in advance
