the US can still build units in eastern usa and build ships there but they most attack japan first and work their way to germany

i will give TG’s varient a try thanx

many times i have played as the states and germany invaded brazil, it is really annoying because i usually have to build tanks or something to counter attack, but by the time i get there they have an ipc, some fighters and 3+ infantry

i wouldnt help the allies anymore in A&A. they start off good enough. i use a rule where all american production goes to the east(Japan) so germany can take europe and africa without of threat operation torch

i incorparated generals into aae, so when moscow gets attacked General Zhukov comes to the rescue.

i like to sink the USA fleet in the beginning because they cant build ships now or attack you with planes. Almost got into a fight for doing that! :D

one of the funniest and easiest ways to piss people off in this game is to attack the US’s starting navy with subs, if the subs survive the US can not build naval units or attack you with air, only uk can help him but the uk fleet can be destroyed quickly with some luck, i thought i would add this to the forum cause it could help

im thinking of buying aap but is it worth it? i heard conquest of the pacific is better, but im a big fan of avalon hill so id like to stick with them

thanx

one more thing mr. ghoul is right, they helped alot, canadian tanks where in berlin before american and british tanks.(no russian though) if italy is there own country why not finnland or any of the danubian nations?

i think they left italy out because if italy was in they would probaly have to give italy historcal disadvantages, such as infantry defend at 1 because italian infantry sucked at defending, and minus 1 to all defense on ships , no offense to any italians, but the reason why todays italian warships have glass bottems is so they can see all the italian ships at the bottom. For example in one raid, the royal navy sent 20 small out of date torpedo planes(sorry i forget the name of the plane) to attack the italian fleet in i think taranto and destroyed the whole fleet with the lbritish loss of i think 2 planes (sorry if some of my facts are off, im only 16 and my memory goes really quick)alzheimers any one?

hey ciww2, he just asking a question like you have tones of times,

ne ways in aae germany only has to capture 1 capital right? if it was 2 or 3 that might be way to hard, i can barely take russia!

i agree with grigoriy, but also if france was that split up, it might be difficult squeezing in forces in to an area as small as normandy

i only tried tech in aae once and found that germany will end up never buying tech dice while the US will buy tech no stop because they dont have any thing better to do.

I always found it cheap to use tech any ways because look at heavy bombers, that can turn the tide of the war for any body, which is great for the person turning the tide but for the others it really sucks! But thats my opinion and if any one comes up with some mellow tech advances please share

thanx

the price of tanks and infantry are perfect, if any thing the infantry are not enough, 1 infantry represents 1 division(20,000-30,000 men) and 1 armor represents 1 tank division(700+ tanks). The infantry have to be fed, armed, transported, and paid, tanks are almost ready to go when they role out of the factory( such as in the battle for stalingrad when t-34s where made a couple of 100 meters from the front line, tank crews would wait outside for a tank to come out, drive it in to the battle and come back 20minutes later to get a new one)

if any one is interested in this game i can post game examples, and i can send pictures of setup(with creators permission) setup is cool to look at since every country in europe has and army

Only in aap and aae can a fighter attack a bomber doing a SBR but other fighters can escort the bomber.

a marine is an infantry unit (this is a varient rule) that attacks at 2 instead of 1 and can only be done during an amphibous assult and they only last one round

it takes a while to get used to some of the changes but if u go through the rule book once and just remember the big stuff you can go to the manual for smaller stuff,
it is a length game though, i have heard of people playing for 18 hours and only going through 1/4 of the game! the map is hand drawn, but very good quality, and very detailed with mountainsrivers and fortifications(maginot, siegfried line). its 2-5 players but more can be played if they play smaller countries. the main countries are Germany(of course!), Russia(usuable plays as poland also), Britan, USA(comes in on the december 1941 turn, the game is played in months, half months and years) France, Italy(only come in after france surrenders), and Finnland. Roumania, Bulgaria, and Hungary are the axis minors and come in when germany invades russia.

I found this game very realistic and balanced. This game finishes what a&a europe couldnt. u can check out the dudes website at www3.sympatico.ca/ergrenier/gren.html

this varient is awesome. Its called World War 2 in the West and is a map 40’’ by 48’’ so it is huge! It is based in europe before germany invaded poland. the map goes from iceland to the Urals and from finnland to Saudi arabia and is hexed based. It comes with a set of rules where almost everything is different. You can find a describtion of the game at conquestgaming.com or you can email the guy at ergrenier@sympatico.ca. What i really like about this game is every country is playable from ireland-yugoslavia, i will post more info later cause im supposed to be working right now
