it seems like when we first started our tourney, that 6 ipcs was the going bid with several games being axis wins. in the last month or so the allies have revised their strats and i think more allied wins are showing up on the games. so i wonder, with improved allied play, is 6 ipcs enough. i have figured a new strat with the axis that i want to try but i need a bid of 8, so far i have no takers to my post in the games section

yeah, me and jsp have been battling pretty hard in our rematch, his axis strat is greatly improved from our first game

hell i cant get it to work, someone tell me the exat keys to press

that all depends on the ger 1 purchase and the jap 1 move, you cant go into revised with a set in stone game plan……you have to adapt more on the fly,  for example if g1 buys an ac and tranny places them in the baltic sea zone then the uk is very vulnerable to attack for the first 3 rounds or so, when this happens the us should focus on reinforcing the uk for the  first couple of rounds

another example is if japan fails to execute a pearl harbor attack on j1 then the us has a pretty formidable fleet to threaten the south pacific islands that are high in ipcs, ive managed to execute both of these attacks in our current tourney…was even fortunate to have a usa ipc in the east indies in one game…i also managed to take over uk in g2 once when my opponent failed to reinforce the uk  on usa1, he moved his 2 trannies to algeria and unloaded his forces there…but back to the origional question, for me yes the us should focus on landing in africa and starting a big infantry train just like you suggested…oh and one other thing i tried with us was an ic build in sinkaing when the japs took china with only a couple of inf remaining, reinforced there with russian troops and that ic held out  for 7 rounds…long enough to take out germany and hassle the japs with armor and fig placement in sink

and i also am getting my ass kicked by mojo right now in the battle for the bronze, my jap forces are decimated his russian forces are able to concentrate solely on germany and the us has a huge force in the pacific

i guess what im saying is aar doesnt always boil down to just russia and germany…it still usually does but not always

yep, i only sbr, when i have my opponent on the ropes, or there is nothing else for my bomber to do(very rare), or new ipcs built with no aa

im sorry maddogg, but that is hilarious……hey i have an idea, could you introduce her to my wife

i personally would absolutely love to meet some of the people on this site, switch, bebo, octo and mojo come to mind very quickly, a comvention would be something i would be interested in seeing come about

newcastle?, damn switch i expected at least a bud since you are a southern boy

im telling you guys dont denounce the fig strat just yet ……i had a rough time with it when i played nix…he bought 4 fig g1 against me, im kinda intrigued by the 2 bomber 1 fig purchase

let me say this, the 10 figs nix had stationed in w europe gave me fits until he split the air force and left a slim opening in w europe in our game, im gonna try the fig strat one day…… as a matter of fact in my game vs oct my g 3 purchase after plundering uk was going to be 13 inf and 3 fig, with 10 ipc left over for a fig the next round

you dont say how many forces are in russia, give it the 1-2 punch then see where you stand

i will be bone june 17th through the 24th, so no response here from me during that time.

look at my last game vrs malus, very similar to what you are trying to do, except i stopped when russia got to 4 figs, it worked very well allied victory in round 8 i think by surrender

yes

follow my instructions as posted at the top of this thread and then start a thread here that you are looking for a game, i would do it but i have 3 going right now

im a transmission system operator, what that means is i handle all the high voltage switching in the tennessee valley, while keeping evryone in 8 states with power, you know the guys that caused the blackout in the northeast in 04, that is what i try to prevent from happening in the south east usa

ive tried the pacific strat 2 times, once i worked great with a usa ic in east indies, once was a dismal failure

you can build all your land forces i w usa and by round 3 you will have the shuck in place

sorry, i didnt notice your post sooner, yep revised is about all we play here in the games section, we have around 15 or so active revised players and about 4 active classic players, havent seen anyone play a game of aa europe or pacific here yet

the only thing i would do diff is use tranny and fig to retake anglo-egypt if germany didnt survive the first anglo battle with very many forces left, but yeah taking out the jap tranny with the destroyer and ac is a given, send the aussie fleet to attack the jap sub is pretty popular too.

i suggest looking at our games section and seeing how different players have moved on uk1
