Hi all,

quick update, got in two games this weekend against the hated foe….

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

and went 0 for 2, ugggh.  Foe went with same basic strgy.

Always in motion is the future.  Hmm?

One time I was playing USSR and allies were not ready for it and I could not get them to grasp the sit before it was too late.

R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer.

Second time had some success playing USA.  US1 moved Trans/DEST w/troope from E-USA to Brazil and from there to W Africa.  Had to split my buys of all navies between coasts.

You just watch yourself. We’re wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.

It slowed me down but still killed JAPAN and took southern islands.

Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.

GER attacked and sunk Atlantic fleet (I rolled horribly on defense) and did not weaken him enough for UK to take him out.  Lost the games but made headway on winning strategy.  It invloves heavy UK navy and air purchase, combined with USA devoting some resources to Atlantic navy, but I need to link up w/UK fleet early around SZ8 and taking it from there

Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes.

BTW Brazil move was a pretty good move, got units in position to either invade Africa and/or protect Brazil, just have to work on the unit moving timing

The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side.

Judge me by my SIZE, do you?

The defeat this weekend: “Good, let the hate flow through you”

Thanks, i needed the laugh

thanks for the ideas guys, have tried the consoldation thing, got a few new twists and will see how they work out

CaptJack is right, with GIB in German hands, UK fighters can not get at the BB.  It also presents many other problems for the allies in the later rounds, a sweet move, the only downside is that G can not attach Egypt in G1, but that move is so perdictable there are many counters for it

Hi All

New member here, but I have played A&A for years, and love the revised game…anyway on to my issue.

One of my friends and regular opponents has come up with a Germany Strategy that no one has yet to sucessfuly counter.  It goes as follows

R1 buy: INF and maybe one armor
R1: take WRUSSIA

G1 buy: Carrier, plane (optional) and the rest INF and/or armor
G1 attack:  UK BB sunk off Gibralter with BB and sub and TRANS, BUT GIB taken with INF, closing the MED.  UK destoryer sunk of Egypt.  Europe: Karalia taken
G1 placement: Carrier in N Europe fleet (note house rule allows players to lay unused plane (that round) and new plane on carrier, now at full strgenth)

G2 move: consolidate fleet of coast of W Europe : Germany now has: BB, Carrier, 2 planes, 3 subs, DEST, and TRANS in striking distance of UK, Norway, Brazil and Africa

With this defense in place Germany then begins in push on Russia in earnest in G3, with the navy guarding the back door and/or taking Africa and/or Brazil.  By the time UK and USA get enough forces in place to deal with the G Fleet, Russia is usually in serious trouble.

By G3 germany is moving on USSR fast with tanks and minimum inf

If UK buys India factory and does not match Atlantic buy they fall behind and can not even threaten Norway.  If USA matches then Japan can run wild

I have experminted with NOT buying India factory and using USSR to reinforce India.  With the UK building Atlantic fleet, and stacking USSR but without help we all know they can not hold.

Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, normaly we all are VERY even players but he has come up with a strategy that we can not crack yet

Long live A&A, and thanks for your time
