Me too.

I think it should be tried in any existing games at the moment.

Germany…since they are the other key to Axis victory.

Lies!  Nothing but LIES!!!

Industrial Complexes for Japan is worthless.

Don’t be fooled by their propaganda!

I am in the middle of my 4th game with trihero.

@Commissar_Adam:

me and my friends recently started a game of a&a, we quckly quit shortly after, realizing there was noo point to it. Since we figuered that everyone did the same moves always and if they failed to do this then the other side would do their moves and win. We found that since everyone has to do the same thing or lose, there is no variety to the game. :| has anyone else encountered this?

I am curious, which side typically wins?

The Liberty Ships typically had a few(2-4) 20mm cannons (made by Westinghouse) and perhaps a 5in cannon.

When the armarment is compared to any other unit in the game, I believe a ‘1’ is generous.

depends completely on the situation presented before me.

I have built my first complex in 3 different locations in the past 3 games.

There must be a way.  My friend bought replacement parts for the original Axis and Allies years ago.

I will see what is available.

I love it when people do the same thing every time, especially when they offer me surrender early on and then I beat them.

:-D

about that Aircraft Carrier….

“analyze their attack sir, there is a danger.  Shall I have your ship ready?”

:-o

go to the ‘games’ section on the main forum index.

look for the games ‘NCSCSwitch vs Octopus’

There are only 2 and they both played out the exact same (in my opinion).

@Axel:

wow,

with G down to 19 IPC’s and still you made the axis win?
this means J was gigantic strong???
and wiped out R?
and got to the rescue of G after that?

interesting!!!
(you can tell me more if you want)

The lack of income for Germany was overstated. At no time did Germany ever collect less than 31 IPC per turn.  While Switch did get Germany down to 19 last turn, it ended the turn with 39 IPC, so it doesn’t really mean anything.  Switch measures the game differently than I do so he saw successes that I did not necessarily see as a success.

Well, I guess that solves that.

The game has ended, and the Axis are once again victorious.

Fanfare

So I suppose the Axis can win.

5 transports?

no.

Why on Earth would I play Germany the same way I did last game?  I did mention I made a few discoveries with Germany, perhaps I understated what I learned.

@ncscswitch:

If you had played Germany as you did last game, you would have been dead 2 rounds ago. But THIS game, with your improved play, I am scrambling to keep up the pressure.

what pressure?

Uh, Switch?

It’s turn 7 and I just finished Germany’s moves.

:-D

I personally do not like risking the Luftwaffe over a few Allied ships.

I can deal with the invasions, but not having a strong Luftwaffe is death (for me).

Remember, the goal of the game is to win.  Exchanging territories may help or hinder your ultimate goal.

Do not let a short term goal interfere with your long term objectives.
