Hey everyone.
I simply love to play Axis and Allies and me and my friend usualy team up as Allies during our global 1940 showdowns. We have tried some very strange allied strategies with varied results, and now we know some good moves and counters.
Lately Ive hear about many thinking Axis is overpowerd. My teory is that because their play is so much simpler and less expoced to tactical error makes strategy somewhat easier to grasp, wile Axis themselves my actually not be overpowerd at all.
Here is a list some succesful moves me and my friend have made.
–---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Russia in Africa move.
Russia gets +3 ipc for every pro Axis or Italian territories in middeleast/africa, this can be exploited very good but they need to work with UK and US in order to pull it of. Russia should be in Iraq by round 3.
Russia buy 2mec and a tnk in their first round buy and place them in Volgograd. If you expect Germany to r2 attack you can leave a inf in Caucasus as well. In the event of a r3 attack UK opens up NW Persia r2 and Russia drive right to Iraq. Attack Iraq 2mec,tnk,2fgt and tac. Take I. Somali and Tubrok and Libya.
UK India tranny take Persia round 1 (they always should anyway, grabbing Island in pacific is suicide for inf and tranny).
UK needs to focus 100% on Italy (again they always should). Hit z97 7units and z96 2units. They also hit Etiopia 4units + bombard with India cruiser. (French dd does better blocking)
UK also need to buy a fgt or 2. Possibly fly India fighters to Syria if India is somewhat safe.
- UK save India move.
Japan goes heavy for India, buys 3 trannies and land lots of air in Kwangsi. You expect DOW r2.
UK buy 5inf or 3inf 2mec.
UK tranny takes Persia (my standard move, it makes it back)
UK lands air to Java, Anzac moves in 3fgt and tranny in 1inf 1AA gun (must be enough to hold)
Anzac destroyer blocks bombardment if needed.
British battleship, anzac fleet and US fleet meet to combine in z54. They defend Sidney.
Stack Burma.
Block z37 with dd.
Cruiser goes for africa, french dd goes z78 (to be used as block)
r2 land 3anzac fgt in India. If no DOW trow in the inf and the AA gun. Tranny back Persia guys.
3. US and anti Barbossa
I got a teory that US and UK should always be in comitted in Normandy 2 turns after Axis DOW.
Remember that US units should all be trown into Europe exept for 3inf and art in pacific.
US builds 2AC and a tranny europe r1 and have bomber and 4fgt in EUS. 2sub buy pacific.
Follow up r2-4 with more trannies,destroyer, and 4fighter buy.
Trow 4-10 US ground forces into Normandy 2turns after Axis DOW. Follow up with Brit 4-6 units and 4-6 air. French fgt.
That should force Germany to a solid Wgr/France buy and slow Barbossa alot.
If possible hold then land the 8US fgt, buy 3 US inf. Trow in another 4-6 brit units. If no hold is possible then evacuate and take Norway, Germany should already be totaly out of possition.
Coming back for more :wink: Please tell us your allied strategy. :-D
