I’ve just posted two videos that review the statistics around very common openers for both Germany and Japan in Axis and Allies Classic (MB 2nd Edition):

Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG55y5vyyqQ&t=101s

Japan (and why you shouldn’t attack that fleet around Hawaii): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ48LJurAhU&t=8s

@Black_Elk Great, that’s exactly what I had in mind ;)

I think it is possible to find what is the exact minimal ratio to minimize the empty space on the right. And I already have some ideas on what to put there. It’s great how sometimes technical constrains give you the opportunity to develop nice stuff!

@the_good_captain Yes, that’s correct.

@victoryfirst thanks for writing this. It’s helpful to understand the other side.

For the CP, I cannot tell if it is better to capture all the Russian territories or to create the Revolution. It was nice having all that money but so expensive to protect against the British in India. With the Revolution, I would not have had to defend Sevastopol AND Mesopotamia. It’s not clear to me what is better at this point.

YES, I would love to play another. I will get AH1 out shortly and good game my friend! =)

@thecabal

The practical application in an actual game is the following:

This can adversely affect naval battles with multiple unit types on both sides and land battles in which the defender has a bomber(s) or a defense with multinational forces present.

It can cause the defender to misallocate his hits not knowing if the attacker is going to roll hot, cold or par.

@victoryfirst accepted. I feel like I was quite a bit luckier with dice on a number of rounds. Well played my friend.

@cernel That looks right.

@the_good_captain I am totally ok with that !:+1: I’m glad I was useful in your improvement as well! The tank spam works really well with the unbalanced Anniversary rules. If you need to defeat your opponent quickly, tank spamming is a great way of doing that. If you need to form a wave in order to be able to defeat the enemy, the infantry spam is going to be better.

@the_good_captain Ok, I think I’ve practised enough. I am ready to take up the fight with you again! I would like to play the Axis one more time, and then I think it’s best to switch sides (four times in a row Axis gets monotonous!)

@the_good_captain said in Rules Question/Clarification:

My reading of pages 20 + 26 is that if a country’s capital is in enemy hands, and a friendly power controls another factory owned by this country, the friendly power can use the factory and collect IPCs.

Yes.

I was really hoping that if Italy fell to Russia and Russia fell to Japan, that America or Britain could later use the Italian factory. "

No. You cannot capture a territory from a friendly power, whether or not that power has fallen.

If the USSR controls Italy when Moscow falls, it retains control (and cannot use the IC) until Italy is recaptured by the Axis, after which another Allied power could capture it from the Axis (and use the IC). The same applies to Karelia.

come on out and play some face to face games!
