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.
1942SE at GenCon was awesome.

is that a bren gun carrier I see on the back of box?
When squirecam eventually posts pictures of the unit identification table in the rulebook (I’m assuming there is one, and I’m assuming we’ll see a photo at some point), this will answer a lot of questions.

Anyways, it was still very fun playing and meeting new people, can’t wait for next year!

The Italian AP, CA & CV all look pretty freakin’ sweet.

It looks like from now on I’m going to have to use two plastic tackle boxes rather than one to organize my collection of OOB Italian sculpts. Though I’m certainly not complaining.

Ok now we need map pics buddy.

So we have two Shakespeares on the forum! Well done “noble Prince”: may flights of Mustangs wing thee further West.

Anybody else notice that the national production chart is now on the map? I guess it’s the new standard. Personally I don’t mind this as long as they don’t croud the sea zones like they did in AA41.
It also begets the question about what AAP40.2’s map looks like. I hope that it will start off where Europe left off, which according to my calculations should be about 47. (or more likely 50). If so we could have a global Ipc track of 100. That would make me feel okay about having it on the maps. 1-50 on each map would be lame since most global is far more popular than pacific.

@wittmann:

Since AA1941 includes a Lancaster bomber, one could also say “flights of Avros.”

Bravo! I bow down to the greater poet. Perhaps I am a better actor!
