I’m looking for a second G 40 game to play anyone p for it?

Preferablly no Tech and i’ll be Axis.

Don’t mind being Allies but haven’t played Axis yet.

All you need to complete the set up is a war rake :-D

One game of revised I was playing my firned played the SU and had no expirence so he asked me(UK/US) what the best unit in the game was based on Att and Def stats. I told him BB but he should build Inf and Art. Instead he realised he had 24 Ipc the same cost of a BB in revised. So he Brought the BB. the German player wis licking his lips seeing that Russia would fall easily. So on G1 the German attacked the UK BB by Gilbartir with a sub and a BB. He killed it thinking that he would take the SU BB next turn wasting the SU players turn. He then took Lenningrad and CauCau. Next SU brought another BB. At this stage I was thinking of conceding after UK had lost Calcutta turn before. Then When Germany attacked Moscow which had all of its original units. The SU player hadn’t attacked at all. The battle was

Germany, 2inf,  6arm, 4 fig, 1 bmr against SU, 3 inf, 1 fig, 2arm, 1 art, AA

First round
AA gun took down 2 Fig and Bmr
Germany killed 1 inf
SU killed 2 inf 1 arm

2nd round
AA GUn killed 2 fig
Germany killed 2 inf 1 art
SU killed All 5 arm
Germany was so angry he attacked two BBs with BB and sub. He lost both with neither BB taking a hit.
Germany then just started making random attacks on SU and lost because of it.

Yeah

Ok no tech and i’ll be Allies

@Mistergreen:

I’ll play with you. You can find a neat .exe installer of abattlemap on this forum. Func’s g40 beta module as well. Another option is that you pm me a e-mail and I mail them to you.

Can you attach them to posts? Also where can i get the .exe installer? Finally do you wnat to play with techs and who do you want to be?

@Battal:

i would say give japan to the newest player OR Usa too . İ dont know why. but i  have a feeling that USA should be someone who can see 5 turns later from now.So someone good should be USA mybe.But again… i might be mistaken because im not experienced enough compared to others that replied

With the Axis having only two powers giving Japan to the newest player is handing the allies the game because Japan must help Germany take the SU plus take Calcutta if the Axis can win the also need to draw the US forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific to give Germany some breathing room and so they can attack the SU. If Japan doesn’t take Calcutta or forces UK to spend IPCs in Africa/Asia they can focus on D-Day. If Japan doesn’t force US into moving some units into the Pacific US can focus on building units for D-Day. If Japan doesn’t help Germany attack SU and then the Western allies preform D-Day Germany is forced to withdraw units from the eastern Front taking the pressure if SU and then allowing them to take Germany’s Eastern territories and then Germany will end up being surrounded. Resulting in a German turtle which eventually gets destroyed.

I’m wondering who has the most posts on the forum???

I know IL has 10k
Func also has 10k
Darth Maximus has 15k

Who else has higher or the same amount?

Looking for someone to play G40 with.

This will be my first game online and G40.

I don’t have my own board so i need battlemap

Also how do I download battlemaps?

For US why not add San Fran or LA

@bpiippo:

You will not ask is it really woth it when you see it set up in all its glory.  My group just sat in awe of its beauty for about 20 min. afraid to disturb the spell it had cast upon us.  It does kill a whole day though.

Playing Axis and Allies doesn’t kill a day it makes it better

US because

1. Large economy
2. Biggest room for error
3. Small chance of major battles around VCs (Unless Japan plays Kill America First)
@The:

A strategy employed to annoy the USA is to land units in Alaska and take the pressure of Germany so they can take Moscow. But why not take this one step further and focus on taking LA/San Fran?

This is an alternate Japanese strategy to that of the Moscow/Berlin race that is seen in most games. This could be taken over to global '40 but it would be a lot harder to preform. Also could be used for spring '42.

For this strategy to be implemented you will need to following things to have happened:

• Allies play the standard KGF

• No UK factory in india

• No US factory in China/Sinkijiang

Here is the standard move for J1 on this strategy:

India capture with inf in FIC and Shanghai transport used to move inf from Shanghai to FIC and air support.
Move 2 inf from Japan to Shanghai with sz60 tran.
Build:
2 inf 6 Ipc
2 Art 8 ipc
2 Trab 16 ipc
total 30 ipc

Earned 33 Ipc

J2

Shanghai tran that will be close to FIC moved to sz 61 and move 2inf from Japan to Manchuria and move them into Shanghai.

You will have in:
Shanghai: 5 inf
Japan: 2inf, 3art,1 arm, 1 Bmr and maybe 1 fighter
India, FIC, Manchuria 2-3 inf and maybe 1 fighter in each

Build:
same as J1

Ipc earned 33 left over from buy 3 total 36

J3
Take china with air support 2-3 fighters and 5 inf in Shanghai
Only if no SU forces in it and 2-3 inf plus fighter in it.

Build
Same as J1

at the end of this turn you should have:
Japan: 4inf, 5art, 1arm
SZ60: 1bb, 6 tran

J4 this is the important turn

Invade Alaska with 3 tran carrying 1 inf + 1art each. Use your BB bombardment to kill the inf. If Alaska has to large a force in it use all 6 tran and take all units out of Japan or use your trans to shuck units onto the mainland and push for Moscow. You shoudn’t have to do this as Britain and the USA will be focussed on taking Berlin and preforming D-DAY.

After you have taken Alaska you will be earning 37 IPC per turn.
You have 36 IPC to spend

Buy
3 inf 9
2 art 8
2 tran 16
total 33

end turn IPC total 40

Japan: 4 INF, 4 ART, 1 ARM
SZ60: 5 tran
Alaska: 3 INF, 3 ART
SZ 63: 1 BB, 3 TRAN

J5

4 TRANS shuck 4 inf + art to Alaska
3 trans in sz63 return to sz 60

Build
4INF, 4 ART

12 ipc to do what you want with

earn the 37 plus what you didn’t spend

J6

same as J5 build and move 4art+inf to Alaska
Move 4 tran back to sz60 from 63

J7…
same as J6

when you have a big enough force probably J6 move units into Eastern canada. Every NCM move units that landed in Alaska to EC and strike at LA and place build units into there and try and hold from the American counter. If succesful build up your force and strike at Washington. Even without taking Washington you will win as the US forces will be trying to take LA back from you and with Calcutta and LA under your control if you and Germany have lost no VC’s you have 8 if Germany take Lenningrad or Moscow you win if Playing LHTR. If not and going for 10 vc’s Germany should be able to take Moscow and win. If playing 12 you will attack Washington and Germany will attack London. You should still win with both of you sending forces through the former SU and through Africa to collect IPC for yourselves and take them from UK.

This seems easy in concept but is hard to pull off but if successful you will win easily. Because of its diffuclty to be successful players usually stay in Alaska/EC and threaten LA rather than attempt to take it.

Poll closes in 3 days

Map nearing completion

A few rules different from normal A&A

The only units that can shoot down planes are AA, Art, Planes and BB

The original setup is

Every power starts with 200 Ipc of which 40 must be spent on air units, 40 must be spent on land units and 40 must be spent on naval units.

If Tasmania is added they start with 250 ipc of which 50 must be spent on each type of unit

Tow in you need to control

either
6,7,8 Vcs of which one must be in NZ
9,10 Vcs of which 2 must be in NZ
11 of which three must be in NZ

@molinar13:

@The:

What do people think is better Halo or Call of Duty?

Xbox is better than PS3 cause you can get both in Xbox but only Cod on PS3

If it were not for Halo, or Gears of War I would own a PS3

If those two didn’t exist Xbox would have failed long ago Halo and Gears are war are classic Xbox I agree with you that without Halo and Gears of War PS3 would be a better to own.

Kill Australia first could happen but with India close by why waaste extra ipcs trying to get to Aus when you can earn more and soend less by taking India? Maybe if your playing an inexperienced US player and to mix it up take Australia but if your trying to win you would take India
