@wittmann:

Some people think the game(and others) are so biased towards the Axis they will only play the Allies if they are given help in the form of more units. The units are bought using the money that the bid, or auction, ends at. Some people will only play the Allies if they are given 20 IPCs to spend for example. Some bid up, others bid down.
It stops everyone wanting to play the Axis, which is more fun because of the initial attacking and euphoria of territorial gains and makes the Allies a more interesting side to play.
The 1939 game starts in 1939 and is much more complex and takes far more time to play. It had been designed by people here, not by Larry Harris, the designer of A&A.
I do not own it, but would love to.

Oh ok, thanks… But let’ s say we start the game with a bid of 10 ICP for the allies. Does this mean 10 ICP for every Allied Nation?

Sorry to bother but what is a bid ? and what is this tigerman’s 1939 Global game?
Thanks :)

@Fortress:

You set up a PBEM (play by email/forum - it’s an option on TripleA, on the right hand side) game. You need your opponent’s email address. And the games get saved/posted to the forum. Your opponent gets dice rolls emailed to them. Garg has a great TripleA setup tutorial posted. Maybe he can link you to the thread; it got me started easy peasy.

Thank you, that would be awsome

it�s me again :D
What does OOL means?

Then, I saw that many play TripleA via Forum… How does that work? Do they create 2 separated local games ? how can they imput the exact dice rolls the other person did?

Oh something else… What about buying a harbour in Alaska to be able to reach Tokyo in 1 turn with transports?

@kcdzim:

But that also means that Germany CANNOT upgrade it, so it can only ever produce 3 units MAX

So if Germany conquers London, the Londond IC becomes a minor… and it can NEVER be upgraded? Why?

Sorry for my ignorance but what do these words mean?

AP (transports? AP is for ?)
CV
SBR

thanks :D

Yeah I will try to do that with japan, but I still haven ´t figured out a good strategy for japan, as I have played only allies and I am now focusing on the europe part… With japan I guess you could focus on land or focus more on island control and a big fleet in order to occupy US as long as possible… maybe both are good. Need to play a coupe of more games though :D

Yeah, good idea.
Instead if I decide to go for a full barbarossa I would buy 2 ftrs and 1 destroyer, take Paris (ofc). Do you think it would be better to attack on G1 or wait to mass more forces on the border, thus taking yugo and bulgaria? Attacking on G1 i could kill more of his units, which he would otherwise move back, leaving most likely 1 inf for every state to slow me down…

@wittmann:

I would think you were going Barbarossa if you bought as you suggest. I would buy 4Inf for London and then place a minor in Egypt and get 1 Mech for SA.
I would still do Taranto(Italian fleet) even if you could scramble 3 Planes(1 German). If this sea battle went badly, I might drop the Minor IC in West India instead of Egypt. I do not plan on losing it to Italy!
Russia would be ready for a G2 attack, mixing up the Inf buy with a Mech. I wod move to the borders, including the Persian one.

Thanks for your answers.
That strat was one I found, I think it was a G1 into Barbarossa. I am still very unsure what it´s better between Barbarossa and Sealion. We played 1 game only (10 games of 1942) but I played as allies. My friend went for full barbarossa, which resulted in me landing with US in Africa (I did not build an IC in Egypt) and with UK doing a massive land in Norway and taking it. This was mostly due to mistake of my friend. My mistake was not going for Taranto (I move the UK fleet down to merge it with the India one before doing enything to italy, I know I am noob :P).
Next week I will play axis and I think I will try to go for a Sealion, buying 2 transports and 1 destroyer for germany, and only later buy something to try to stop russia from invading on the eastern front.

@Degrasse:

Somewhere around here should be a post by Soulfein that shows a very strong standard German opening.  Pounds Paris, Yugoslavia, sea zone 110, and sea zone 111.  That opening also uses the standard G1 buy of one CV and two transports.

I couldnt find it but i found this:

What would you do in response to this as the German opening?

Build 2 fighters and 1 destroyer, Save 2
Take 106 with 2 subs (117 / 118) (87% win)
Take 91 with 2 subs (103/ 108) (85% win)
Attack 111 (BB, DD, CA) with 1 sub (124), 1 fighter (Norway), 1 tac (Western Germany), 1 fighter (Holland), 1 tac (Western Germany) 1 strat (Germany) 85% with scramble, 98% without scramble
Attack southern France with 1 armor (Great Southern Germany), 1 tac (Germany) and 2 mech (Great Southern Germany) - 98% win
Take France Turn 1 (7 infantry, 2 mec, 3 artillery, 5 tanks) 97% win
Attack French Fleet with 2 fighters (Western Germany), 1 Tac (West Germany) 1 Bomber (Germany) (99%) Tac and 1 or 2 fighters continue to Tobruk
Take Bulgaria with 1 infrantry from Romania / Finland with 1 infrantry from Norway
Take Yugoslavia (3 tanks, 6 infantry with 3 from great southern germany, 1 from romania, 2 from slovakia, 2 artillery from great southern Germany), 1 tac from Poland, 1 fighter from Slovakia (1 fighter continues to Tobruk or South Italy, Tac Continues to South Italy as well)
Move all AAA guns to Holland, land some planes there for defense.
Place Destroyer in 112, Move Battleship and Cruiser there
Place 2 fighters in Western Germany, to join at least another fighter.

I have another couple of noob questions :D

1. Can UKP buy troops and put them in London?
2. Armor is Tank right?
3. I read that many person send German ftr or tac to italy; is this to help italy (using scramble) to resist UK1 attack on Italy fleet?

Thanks :D
