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.
Forum Acronym List?

Hi,
Has anyone compiled a list on some of the common acronyms used on this forum? If so, could you point me to it?
Like OOB for example. I see this when reading about the imbalance issues in this game.
Thanks!

OOB means “out of box”, i.e no house rules or bid.

Thanks!
I see I probably should have posted this in the Player help forum.

Personally, I think I’ve seen more “OOB” useage when referring to sculpts/units that come with the game and/or replacing/supplementing them.
Then again, I’m highly obsessed with the unit sculpts.

OOB, or out-of-the-box, is used as an adjective that’s paired with whatever thing is being talked about in a given context: OOB sculpts, OOB rules, OOB map board and so forth. It basically refers to any component of an official A&A game in the form in which it’s found inside the game box, without modifications. For example when it refers to sculpts and units, as my fellow sculpt enthusiast Wolfshanze notes, the term can be used to draw a distinction between the sculpts in the A&A box and the sculpts that can be purchased from third-part sources like HBG, or alternately between the unmodified sculpts in the box and the painted versions of the sculpts that are customized by model-painting hobbyists.
