Thats an intersting Idea but usually japan takes east russa pretty quick.  Also if I was playing japan I would disrupt that as soon as possible.  What the Japs start with in the Pac far outweighs anyone else on that side of the board.  By the time US builds up a fleet to protect the trasports it’s too late.

Remeber that the reason that no Jap military units were distroyed in history was that we hit civilian targets.  Gotta love american terrorism.

what else do you think is wrong with that rule.  Besides it being too powerful.

since a nuke can only be used on a sbr, can you only nuke a territroy with a IC?

I think any offball strat is good for the game.  I think we need to experiment more and deal with losing, but having fun doing so.  I never had more fun playing than once when japan actually made landfall in north america and Russa build a BB off the coast of China.  I lost that game but it was fun, and funny to see such craziness in a game. :-D

In my games Japan and US get into it alittle bit in the pacific, but its just not as much as I would like.  The war in the Pacific was a naval war.  If our navy had not been top notch we would not have been able to do the Island hopping that we did.  But as I have said before this is a game about rewriting history, and well, this game just dosen’t have the compacity for alot of naval stuff.  I was a bit suprized the first time I played it to find naval units, and that was one of the things that drew me to it.  You had to be able to control the seas as well as the land to win.  Well for Japan anyway.

Does anyone happen to know how the old Nuke Tech upgrade worked?  I hear that it was a part of the game in the original version (the one before MB got it)

I would vote for more involved naval combat in this game as well but alas it just doesnt seem possible.  How did they decide to do the SZs anyway.  Its just random.  you can get trannies from E Canada to Africa in one move.  Tell me how that makes sense.

I’ve only seen russa build a fleet when the game was over for all purposes.  Germany had fallen and Japan was about to.  So he put 2 BB in the pac using a IC that Japan built.  I was foolish and went after US with Japan.  Suicide.

I’m going to make sure the US gets that one next game :lol:.  Looks like I’ve hijacked this thread.  Oh, and btw, Salmon is also very good raw.  A true Japanese player eats sushi around J2!

Yeah when time is limited that works well.  I just don’t feel that 8VC realy shows who won.  To take 10VC you have to control most of the board anyway so, it feels more like a victory.

@ncscswitch:

Screw you Triforce :-P

I am on the HIGH end of that age category you deride… 37 next week.

Well I meant no offence but I figured that most of the people on here were under 30, making me an OG.  Remember with age comes wisdom! :mrgreen:

couldn’t you just get some Hoyle poker chips.  I know there a bit bigger than the ones in the game but, if your board is bigger what diffrence does it make?

Its amazing how inf can slaughter tanks when the tanks have nothing to take hits for them

Your dad’s friend cooks salmon? :-o

BTW the exact name is “Walt Disney on the Front Lines” and its a part of the Disney Treasures Collection.

I’ve been there.  Usually when I detect that attitude in me then I just resign.

I’m not sure that you can anymore.  It came out last year in a disney classics 2 DVD set, and I think my wife Got it in the disney store.  Anyway it was Limited Ed.  Check ebay and the disney store website.  It also has some educational stuff, like advoiding Malaria that was funny.  Some shorts about Donald duck in the army as well as army training videos, Like how to stop takes with armor peircing bullits or somthing like that.  It’s great stuff but I dont know where you can find it anymore.

The box says “decide the fate of the world in a few short hours”  I’m not sure about you but to me 8 hours is not a few short hours.  I don’t mind that it takes that long to play, it just means that I have to plan a game a month in advance instead of people coming over and me randomly saying “Hey, Lets play Axis and Allies.”  How long do your games last on average.

I went out and bought Disney on the front Lines.  It is a collection of Disney shorts from the WWII era.  Its some great stuff including some propaganda such as “Der Furers Face” and others.  It even Has a full length movie called Victory through Air Power laying out how we could only defeat the Axis by investing in long range land based air power.  Pretty good stuff if you are into WWII.
