Standard, advanced game rules

So this weekend I will be playing the allied powers versus my friend who will be playing all of the axis powers. He has hinted over and over again that he is going to use a new strategy that he is very confident in. And that this new strategy means that I wont know which way he is going until turn 4. Has anyone else ever heard of this or a similar strategy? Or does anyone have any advice for how I should be changing my play style to anticipate a round 4 attack?

Any help would be great
Thx

No.  What are you going to search the video for clarification? The book+ this web site is all you need.

I like the train tracks. Are you including rail rules?
:-D, yes there’s rail rules on the game board but not the one under the table!!
Wargame is not my only hobby

=) thanks

Here is the complete rulebook.

go to thrashers site if you want to learn about the commander and cheif rules.

Hahaha, those are the best.

But I perfer the “Asterisk Gambit”

Here’s how you do it:
Materials: A&A rulebook, scissors, glue, strip of asterisks.

1. A day before the game, photocopy the following sentence (asterisk included) and paste it on the last page of te rulebook:

= This rule is no longer valid. Any player attempting to use an invalid rule like this automatically forfeits the game.

2. Before the game begins, put the prepared rulebook in the bathroom, along with the glue, the scissors, and a strip of asterisks. If you’re short on asterisks, you may use these **********

3. Midway through the game, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom

4. In the bathroom, clip out and glue asterisks to all sections of the rulebook your opponent has been effectively exploiting

5. Return to your opponent, hand him the rulebook, then show him the door :wink:
