I sometimes run into players who use this strategy…
as axis, they try to save up infantry for a few turns and keep it close to France and Karelia. Then when they have enough infantry to hold France, They stack as many units on Karelia and France as possible and try to score a VC victory by picking up Hawaii and finishing India around the same time. Their position at this point is a pure mess if they were forced to continue playing but they try to make it just hard enough to stop them from getting their one turn hold.
I wanted to know if anybody with more experience has a decent recipe for playing well against it. Is there any way to do it other than buying naval units for Hawaii? How do you play in Europe vs. this strategy?
Sorry if my question is too broad.
Thanks in advance.
Built in AA Guns?

So i hear industrial complexes now have built in AA guns? do they shoot once at all attacking bombers and fighters along with the new AAA units? it seems like an airplanes will be getting shot down left and right if this is the case :cry:
-
IC have built in AA which only fires at Bombers that SBR them. One shot per Bomber, not fighter. Only Intercepting Fighters can shoot down escorting Fighters. Once one round of interception is done(if any) the Fighters fly back.
The new AA units only shoot at Air units attacking combat units in a territory. -
Interceptors is an optional rules as well.
We found in the 2 games played, SBR just isn’t really worth it all that much - it is one thing if you have to spend the money to put an AA on the board for a new complex - its another when its included free…

I only ever use Bombers as long range Navy killers or against territories without AA.
Nothing more annoying than having one shot down when your opponent rolls a “1”.
And if he doesn’t, you are guaranteed to roll 1 damage!
