So if new changes are Final.. when will Larry update his site?

Hi Galendae, it is tough being a newbie in this very unforgiving game. Let me guess the strategy? Germany bum-rushing Russia and taking Moscow before the other Allies can get in range to help. Right? There are plenty of players still trying to figure that one out as well. Practice a lot and work out a strategy that works and fits your style of play. Playing the Allies is a real tightrope act for sure! The Taranto raid and Battle of Tobruk by the London-English on turn 1 will certainly help neuter the Italians in the Med and start you in the right direction! Good Luck!

Welcome Talleyrand

Triplea is a way to play online. You’ll find a lot of info under software. Here’s a good one: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27127.0

YG made some strategy guides you’ll find helpful here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGow98LUYl4

Scroll towards the bottom of the forums and you’ll find “find players”. You can post there to find an opponent.

Thank you. I did not realise it was a mind game!
I am going to go with your idea, but with my S France instead of Normandy.
Then look at both Taranto and SZ92 skulking as UK options.
I think I would rather they ran for Canada and then when Sealion succeeds Canada, out of the generosity of its heart, agrees to absorb the UK and its colonies into the Greater Canadian Empire. And everyone is happy!

Japan actually won on turn 5

Well yeah, that is what happens when usa builds stuff in the atlantic when Japan is snatching up NOs. Like you said the -38 does not kick in till round 4 when you are parked off east usa. Plus it is not -38, because you gotta roll your convoy damage and very rarely does that max out.

Sure USA makes -38 or whatever, but from a big picture of the long run… it is really insignificant when Japan flops out.

If you read the last couple of posts, you might conclude that it was finished.

And as was explained the entire discussion is about a unit that does not exist, a 2-2-2-4 mech that can blitz alone. To play online with this new idea would require some programming?

I ask because i never play online.

yeah and I am going to cross out that (not including dutch) like so and pretend I didn’t read that.  Also I am going to pretend japan’s puppet state started with a minor IC as well.

Also, try to make Z109 and 118 touch each other at more than a corner.

Russia, man.  Since I started playing Classic, Russia goes to the newb.  Center of the action, forgiving because it’s huge, easy purchases, don’t have to learn naval units yet, straightforward strategy, roll fistfuls of dice.

“Look, here, buy as many infantry as you can afford.  Hold off the Germans.  Keep your planes alive.  Stall the japs in Siberia.”

Axis?  No way.
