Your so polite signing off 

LOL, some habits die hard.

Hi Guys long time no type.  It's been a wile since I have played this one so I'm knocking out the cobwebs.  You will also have to forgive me since I don't have the board in front of me.

Let's say I'm Germany and this is a few turns into the game.  I have my Med. transport and battleship in that inlet by the Caucuses.

The UK has their Destroyer in the SZ adjacent to Italy.  I have my battleship and some fighters based in Italy take out the UK Destroyer.

(Here's my question)  Can I have my transport pick up troops in the Balkans or Caucuses and land them in North Africa (Germany controlled of course) where the sea battle just took place?

Thanks,

Why do we have to so spread out.    I live in Rochester, NY just down the way from you.

I live in Watertown, NY let me know if you'd be interested.

I think that this has the most potential to have "the perfect balance"  of all of the A&A games. 

To me D-Day and BOTB feel like the computer/consul games where your mission is to "survive for 30 minutes until reinforcements arrive."  Europe, Pacific and the world versions simply can't be balanced because of geography and have to compensate with units and production abilities.

After a few rounds GC could have an even 1:1 unit and island ratio.  It's the closest to a perfect mirrored chess board that I think we could ever get with an A&A game.  Because of that it shouldn't matter what side you play.

On another note I have recommended to players of the mainstream A&A games that were struggling with Japan or the US to play GC.  It really improved their game being forced to work with transports.

Long story short as an owner of A&A mini's, classic, revised, pacific, Europe, BOTB and D-Day I prefer GC.

   I'm not sure it is physically possible. The U.S. alone has 30 IPC's. That can produce ten infantry units every round. The Germans will have to invest in at least triple the units the U.S. has, plus the cost of transports & escorts to get them to the Eastern Seaboard.

Not to mention the number of turns it would take Germany to even get to the US if they had all of the units lined up in France.

Has any axis player won by capturing the US?

Can't say I've ever seen that before, but I don't have nearly as much time into this version as others.

I like the Axis too.  There's nothing like taking the wind out of an over confident noob's sails when you Sea-Lion the UK when he thinks you are going for Moscow.

ROFL that was great.

The French President is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. 'Hallo, Mr. Sarkozy!' a heavily accented voice said. 'This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare , Ireland .. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you. We voted to reject the Lisbon treaty.'

'Well, Paddy,' Sarkozy replied, 'This is indeed important news. How big is your army?' 'Right now,' says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, 'there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eleven.'

Sarkozy paused. 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command.' 'Begorra!' says Paddy. 'I'll have to ring you back.'

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. 'Mr. Sarkozy, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!' 'And what equipment would that be paddy?' Sarkozy asks. 'Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor...'

Sarkozy sighs amused. 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke.' 'Saints preserve us!' says Paddy. I'll have to get back to you.'

Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. 'Mr. Sarkozy, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!'

Sarkozy was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000.' 'Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!' says Paddy, 'I will have to ring you back.'

Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. 'Top o' the mornin', Mr. Sarkozy. I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war.' 'Really? I am sorry to hear that,' says Sarkozy. 'Why the sudden change of heart?' 'Well,' says Paddy, 'we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness and packets of crisps, and we decided there is no fookin' way we can feed 200,000 prisoners.'

I live in Watertown, about an hour north of Syracuse.   

I'm not saying I'm rich or poor but I do work with a great number of filthy rotten rich people.  They spend a great deal of time managing their wealth.  The same way body builders spend a great deal of time physically becoming who they want to become.

Rich poeple don't get rich by by accident.  They know what has to be paid and what doesn't.  They learn tax law and find loop holes.  Honeslty I don't have a problem with rich people being rich.  They spend all that time to become that way just like the body builder.

A flat tax would be the ideal solution.  Think of all the tax dollars that would be saved when you could realistically lay off half of the IRS.

hey guys, gals looking for players and place to meet in the Syracuse, NY area.

I see there are a lot of players within an hour drive of there.

I have copies of most of the versions of the game.

PM me if your interested.  Busy at work so it may be a few days before I get back to you.

hey long time no see.

Here's the only filashlight I will ever buy again.  Shop around The Fire Store doesn't always have the best prices.

I'm a firefighter and I have a mount that attaches that to my helmet.  It's the only light I have found that can cut through the smoke.

Don't get discouraged if you use it during the day.  It looks like the battries are dying.  But when it's dark its awesome.  Its brighter then the box lights my department buys.

If they did a SW Axis and Allies, I would highly recommend making a map of 5 or 6 planets (maybe 7 planets, odd numbers seem to look more natural to me) with multiple zones and connecting lines so that armies could walk between certain planets. (maybe make it a space bridge or something.  You know, like Risk where you can get from Asia to North America if you have the connecting points.)

I don't think I like the idea of a spacebridge.  I think that transports are a must to get from one place to another.  Maybe you could develop a tech for making a spacebridge if you occupy two adjacent worlds.

If you could please limit your self to one question at a time.  Thank you
