MOVED: AAE Scenario: Europe 1939 (France, USA, Germany, Britain, USSR, Italy)

The tournament has startet, but “late entries” would theoretically be possible for the next few days, if players with “byes” would agree to give them up!

Europe is a smaller scaled land based game. Lots of small provinces. Pacific’s scale is considerably bigger and deals primarily with naval and air power.

I personally enjoy Pacific a lot. It has more strategy than Europe in my opinion. Both are great though.

@Suppressmeajumma The Western Allies should certainly be landing in the same spot, and Northern Italy, since it has a factory, is certainly a good place to land (France is also good, since it’s two spaces away from any German Factories, so harder to reinforce). My point was more that defending the USSR should be the main objective of the US/UK, not making some kind of grand D-Day Style Landing. You might want to prioritize landing troops in Leningrad before making any landings in France/Italy, so that they can liberate the factory there for the USSR and defend Moscow from the German onslaught.

what about if you keep the inf/art that was along the coast along with the tanks you add… then if you do retake france, you stand a better chance of holding against the next wave of allied landings, which may not be a whole lot stronger than the last as they are using trains of transports.

i’ve not played much AAE, Rundstedt looks like a good deterrent, especially early.  maybe alternating landing zones by brits from uk and americans out of algeria into france and vichy france could split the defense though…

Episode 62

Fresh off the presses! Rounds 8-10 from Axis & Allies Europe

see pg 21 of the rule book:
“AA guns in a captured territory may not be moved in the same turn that the territory is captured”

Bold plan there, but as someone else said that was very lucky. If the AA scored a hit I think you would have lost. Good job though and I’m pretty sure that those guys were pissed, lol.

GUESS WHO!?
