Question on Fighter Movement
In AaA:Revised, fighters only land after noncom is over. If I use my fighters in combat, can I wait to land them during noncom? If so, how far can they move during noncom, if the previous statement is true?
Thanks :mrgreen:

RE: German Tactics (first time German, need to pwn my friends)
Once you take Russia taking on the Allies with be a breeze with all of the added IPC income. Just tell Japan not to attack them either because then they have an escape route into Eastern Asia. This may sound like it doesn’t work but the trick to taking Russia is not tanks but infantry. You can pump out more infantry than tanks and you get more bang for your buck. If you make only infantry you’ll break the back of the Russian military and be able to take them on really early, too early for the allies to respond. And then you’re home free.

RE: German Tactics (first time German, need to pwn my friends)
It will but it is much easier to defend Germany than Northern Africa. Its just not worth the resources in the big picture. A strategy that has won me at least 5 games as Germany is to forget about Africa. Then, you rush Russia with everything you have. Because of the way the game works the US and UK can’t possibly invade you in time, so if you focus all of your resources on Russia they’ll be back in time for the invasion of Normandy. This way you’ll get the economy boost early in the game to match the Allies’ high economy. Although this only works if you devote all of your resources, and I mean all of them to destroying Russia. Its worth the risk (really there is no risk because of the game’s flaws), and you’ll be able to win. Its has worked every time I have tried it, but you need to ferry your African troops into the Balkans too.

I have a lot of experience with Germany and I know that taking Anglo-Egypt and then Africa is a huge waste of time and resources. Chances are you won’t even succeed and I would rather have those troops in Germany.

RE: German Tactics (first time German, need to pwn my friends)
You’re best off going for a rush into Russia. Trust me, once you get Russia you own the game. UK and US will take too long to invade Western Europe and in that time you can take Russia. Also, forget about Africa. Trying to keep it is a waste of resources and you can use your planes in your first turn for something more useful. You’re better off ferrying your troops into Germany and just letting the Allies have it, its not worth your time. What strategies were you thinking of using?
