What's the best country to be. Please tell why


  • I think japan and the U.S. are the most fun to play.  the detnt aspect of the Pacific after the first round is sweet with neither side wanting to attack and risk it all.  Trying to worm your way in and take a few islands while defendinh australia is mad fun.  Putting pressure on Philipines in fun.  Trying to outmanouver your opponents navy is crazy fun.

    To one of the posts above, it is not Japans job to crush the British economy.  It is Germanies.  this is why so many axis players lose miserably.  Africa and teh middle east are the path to victory for Germany.


  • 1- japan…. So much to do and what a difference they can make if played well
    2- germany…It’s fun trying to survive against the “shuck-n-f*ck”
    3- russia…Right in the middle of the action!


  • I think G is the most intuitive.  Go full bore and kill something!  UK and J require more finesse.  R is trying to buy time, and A is the supply depot.

    Like others have said, it just depends on what you feel like at the time. :-D

    Japan Definantly is number 1. SO SO SO much to do And So little to do it with. I say to Hell with pearl Harbor, if you must attack only use submarines here. Smash China And Russia all at once, 2nd turn smash rest of china and India. I dont always Buy IC right away for the mainland Usually 2 tranny’s, 3 inf 1 tank. turn two IC, and men. Usually by the time turn 3 comes around I am ready to start the push on Moscow. All My New IC’s produce 3 tanks every turn. When it comes to the US i just need enough of a Navy and airforce to simply keep him busy or too afraid of my defensive capabilities to attack, The key for Japan more times then not for me is Germany’s Airforce clearing a path for Japans tanks

    Germany 2  Where do I start Well invading russia killed them in WW2 and it will kill me now also, so I throw up a wall. Then I focus the Majority of my attention on britain they are usually my first target. The key is the ability to threat a UK invasion every turn How do I do this Laugh if you want but gibralter must be in german hands at the end of turn 1 Turn two start pumping men and machinery into Afrika This means you have to buy a navy with a carrier in it within the first 4 turns. This Carrier is the key. If needed any planes that are on it can attack all the way through till china or India as with germany based bombers you kill the few dipsticks in the way for japan smash moscow. the majority of russia crap will usually be next germany’s pile to far away to take it back right away

    I do not like being the allies at all but i can’t stand the British the Most


  • Did you just say that germany needs to buy a carrier?? Well all I would do is start buying russian battleships to counter that! 8-)


  • Death Head, I think you are discussing Revised, not the original version of Axis and Allies.
