If you want a practice turn, click start local game after opening.

If youre ready to do the real thing, click play by forum after opening and when your turn is done, click post to forum when prompted

@Krieghund This is exactly why I called on you/Panther. I admittedly have zero clue what the actual intentions of the rules are (Hell, I do Non-Combat Moves during my Combat Move phase in all my TripleA and non-tournament games), so the best I could do is just quote the rulebook and do my best. Thanks for the help.

2 big things that work to Allies favor:
-After round 1 Ivan and the Yankees get to move back to back and coordinate
-If Russia is dug in defensively, UK fighters can defend a Russian western front when Germany is up and move to an eastern front for defense against Japan.

@ericwool I very much enjoyed these games as well. If you ever want to play AnA of any version in the future. Count me as available.

Sure, I’d be interested in at least one more game. Looking forward to it!

Thank you all for the support.

@AcesWild5049

I’m completely on your page for tech rolls. They’re too luck-dependent to use in the early rounds, but they’re a great option for salvaging a losing effort. They make for some out of the box turns, too.

@blakeadam who are you talking to?

As Japan try bomber , fighter and 2 infantry against the second chinese area. my pet move

@Death_FromAbove When you say “meet me” what does that entail exactly? I play by forum for the most part so is that what you mean? Or are you thinking of playing live?

My preference is the following: 2nd edition rules, no bid, RR, no IC (all rules from the OoB rules)
+strict neutrals (as mentioned in my YouTube video)

I haven’t played 3rd edition since the computer game came out. In my opinion that would be quite a different game than what I’m familiar with. If you insist though, I’ll play a Utah with you if you play my pref above?

Re: Axis and Allies Classic 10 part series on YouTube

I’ve added another AnA Classic video on my YouTube channel. This one is a detailed look at Russia Restricted and why it’s needed. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTIXI3DgIVg&feature=youtu.be

@Panther thank you sir

@AcesWild5049 Usually this is nothing on your side. Might be a temporary server issue. I have successfully tested posting some seconds ago, so please test again.
Be sure to have set up a correct topic-id.

All my boards are on 5mm foamex boards.
Waterproof, fade proof, and really hard wearing

Wow. I had inquired in previous threads on this forum and had only been directed to versions that had multiple personal touches on them. This is way better than mine! Lol, I’ll take it though.

Do you have any guidance on printing your own map? I hear neoprene is pretty sharp.

Hello all!

I have decided to rebut Don’s essays on Axis and Allies classic in a ten part series on YouTube. You can check out the first video (in two parts) by clicking on the link below:

My intent is to release one part every week over the next ten weeks. I hope this gets some folks to break out the classic again!

@dizzkneeland33 said in Axis and Allies Classic 10 part series on YouTube:

omg, seriously, let me tell you, from my own experience, that a 2 IC build for the british is suicide against a good Axis player. Period.

dizzkneeland33, if this is your view on The_Good_Captain’s 2 IC strategy for UK, then just play him as the Axis and prove it. I would love to hear about the results. Classic rules with Russia Restricted and he agrees to play the 2 IC strategy. It sounds like you both believe you would be at an advantage in this setup, so what’s preventing you from playing?

@Midnight_Reaper

thanks for the reference Reaper. I found the sentence missing from my “updated” rulebook that I downloaded. I’m bookmarking this page and reprinting my rulebooks.

Page 19 Step 3: “As many hits as possible must be assigned. For instance, if 1 cruiser and 2 submarines attack a carrier with a fighter and score 3 hits, the defender must assign the cruiser hit to the fighter and the submarine hits to the carrier. The defender may not assign the cruiser hit to the carrier, as the subs cannot hit the fighter and 1 sub hit would be lost.”

These three sentences would not be necessary if sequential column rolling of the dice were part of the core rules as is such in Classic.

Thanks again!

Planning to come for OrcCon in Feb
