If, lets say, Italy captures a territory, may Germany land in its next turn? Or must the territory be held for an entire round before that can occur?
Yeah, Germany can land there. The only time planes can’t land there is if it was just taken by that nation that turn (not the entire round).
Very cool, thank you.

I should be interesting.
I suppose there is a trade off, I can hit them on G1 when they are truly weak, or G2 and have time to organize.
Hmmmmmm…… so the purchase of arty is cheaper than the purchase of tanks assuming you have the infantry to utilize it?
I hadn’t thought of that.
I have read quite a few strategies that call for a mix of units, X infran, X art, X mech infr, and X tanks. However in the majotiy of the strategies I have read, they call for a minority of tanks. Lets say 5infran, 5 arty, 3 mech infran, and maybe 2 tanks.
I have a bad habit of buying straight tanks, I only really purchase infran to act as cannon folder. I can remove them as causalities instead of the tanks. Saves IPC’s.
However, what is the purpose of throwing in arty and mech infran? The coast is almost that of tanks with a 33% hit probability instead of 50%. I do not mean to criticize any particular strategy, I would like to make my own more dynamic and flexible. Throwing in a mix of units would help me do this, but I am simply questioning to logic behind it.
Thanks.
Thank you, that is what I thought but I wanted to be sure.
I recently played my first game of A&A:G and lost due to, what I assume, was my passive nature being reflected on the battler field.
I used Germany to destroy the French and UK on G1, however essentially turtled in respect with the Soviet Union. I underestimated their production ability, and had one hell of a time breaking through their fortified line.
So the strategy that I propose now is essentially a blitz on all fronts, I will destroy France, attack the UK fleet, and break the Soviets already shattered defensive line. I assume that Germany should be able to push them back, gain a small number of IPC’s, and spread the Soviets out a bit. I hope that by spreading the units out the Soviet player will hopefully retreat a portion of his units, and place purchased units, in Moscow. While it will be a few turns until I can outright destroy Moscow, I can atleast reduce their influence in the area.
Thoughts? I have not read many strategies that involve the above, I assume there is a reason for that fact.
Can purchased naval units be placed on naval bases and purchased air units placed on air bases?
I have read some posts here that have left me confused.
Thought of a good one after a game today; leaving one Battleship and one destroyer, accompanied by about nine or so full transports, in range of five bombers and two subs.
As you probably imagine, that was essentially the end of the game and a loss for the allies. lol
I don’t really try to keep up with the US’s navy, I usually have the two AC’s and two BS’s that Istart with post in the pacific, ready to pick off any new additional US naval units. If they start building a fleet, I buy more fighter and bombers to hit them at range.
In short I use the Japanese to clear Asia and assist in Germany’s destruction of the Soviet Union.
A huge navy is great if you plan a landing, however there have been numerious games where I have an enormous navy and still to manage to lose massive numbers of land squares.
Occupy his time in the Atlantic, force the US to aid the UK.
I believe I have answered my question regarding the Alpha X.
RUSE
Fallout 3
C&C Red Alert 3
Civ Revolution
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
How are the online games conducted? I guess my concern would be the validity of the dice rolls.
The reference to “Alpha X”, are these rule sets or different unit placements?
Another question, I see abbreviations like “J1”, “S5”, I know the letter refers to the factions, but what is the number representative of? The move?
I am just very much looking forward to it. Should be epic on the grand scale……
A random thought, the friend that I play the games with has the poster that you are using for your avy on his living room wall.
I haven’t any funny A&A stories, however Rish 2150 is amusing in the sense that my friend has received his Asia bonus once.
In about dozen or so games, once.
I get it and clean his clock. lol
I just joined the forum today, I must say, I do like it. The House Rules section is amazing.
I have been playing A&A:1942 since last spring, and am eagerly waiting for both 1940 games. Eagerly. The only thing that makes it difficult is that I did not check my eBay, and for the last week the seller has been wanting a physical address. Damnit! I imagine the time spent on 1940 should easily coexist with my year hiatus from dating. lol
Anyways, hello.
