The Ultimate Axis and Allies Global 1940 Video of ALL TIME


  • but you are correct after all, from the section on subs:

    There is an exception to this rule, however. A submarine can attack any transport that moves into or through its sea zone unaccompanied by surface warships, in either
    combat or noncombat movement. Each submarine fires once (using its attack value of 2) at the transport(s), and one transport must be removed by the moving player for each hit scored. Any undestroyed transports can continue their planned movement.


  • That was a cool video, I think more people should try and shoot their games for everyone on the site to see. It would make people that are newcomers see good strategies from the vets and allow vets to critique rookie mistakes.


  • glad you liked it. even that video, which glossed over a ton, and was also kind of slapped together, took me a solid eight hours to make… as long as it took to play the game! a bit much to ask of people to make vid summaries of their games for critique. that said, i might just go ahead and make an even better one, take the time to photograph it right, good lighting, more detail, etc.


  • Excellent video!  I thought I was listening to one of those old Time/Life Books documentary.

    Great work!


  • Well it doesn’t have to be all done up like that. Maybe leave a camera on during the course of the game and edit out the pauses in play. That is what I was thinking.


  • That was a nice video.

    Yeah, I hear you. You could make a low production A&A vid, but there are those already online, and the problem is that it is hard to see how many units are where, and exactly what people are doing - cause one is always stuck compromising between camera zoom, and seeing the whole board. That is, its going to be a lot of work regardless of what you do if it is going to be clear.

    That said. screen captures of Triplea games strung together into one AA movie would be very clear, and simple to make.


  • My idea was to have moved the cruiser to escort the transports.  I vegged, but Robin forgot to ambush me.

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    Very cool Vid!

    Want to try this my next game! :)


  • Great video!  One question though.  Why didn’t the Tac Bomber from Hawaii attack the lone transport with the tank and inf that was heading to California/Canada?  I believe that the Tac Bomber on the AC that was stationed in Hawaii could fly past the Japanese navy that was also parked in Hawaii and attack the transport in SZ 14.


  • America was not yet at war.  Japan positioned but didn’t attack.


  • Now I understand, my mistake.  Thanks for letting me know, zooooma.


  • Excellent video. It really makes it easy to see the strategies used.

    I like the early attacks against the US, but it looks like Russia was becoming a problem.

    The attacks against America were half baked - I was still at the drawing board but jumped in anyway.

    A bigger problem than Russia is UK in Africa, the Mediterranean, and South East Europe.  If Italy were an asset to Europe and not a liability, I think I could deal with the Russians.  In fact, if I could lock UK out of the Med (without extra effort from Japan or Germany) I would combine the Japanese North American campaign with Sea Lion and be sitting pretty.

    What to do about that pesky Med…
