its ok, im not mad or angry. its just my dad wants to see me go to college and i don’t want to. i already tried it and i didn’t like it. i would rather do something for myself and at least fall on my face doing something I wanted to do. sorry about that last post i was drunk when i wrote it.
cheers 
this is the crazy part, i have a stupid dad that was never there for me my whole life growing up. never was there to show me how to ride a bike, swing a baseball bat, throw a punch etc. so i was raised by my working clASSHOLE stepdad. now my real dad wants to come into my life and act like a big hero because he has enough money to put me through college. well FUK him. pardon my english. but the whole reason he has this money is because he was never there for me!! i don’t want to sound like a whiny dork, but i have too much PRIDE to take his sorry ass money. I HATE MONEY!! all it is, is PAPER!! i just don’t like living in a CAPITALIST society where the MONEY comes before the PEOPLE!! however i care alot about my country, because AMERICA IS THE BEST!! an i feel like alot of people don’t really appreciate the value of our country and what it means to be an AMERICAN!! i feel like the ones that DO SERVE are the ones that DO CARE!! otherwise they would just get jobs and make money!! the military is something i have always considered and i would like to be apart of it. well sorry about crying to you guys, but could i have some CHEESE to go with my WHINE? i’m about to go " sign my life away " for something I believe in.
CHEERS!!

p.s.-real skinheads aren’t racist!! just remember that!!
oh yeah i forgot i’m also the irish guy on this website!!
i am 22 and it is funny that you said electronics because that is exactly why i wanted to join. plus i would like to get out and see the world, even if it is iraq or afganistan. but i don’t know, i just don’t think college is for me, but maybe that will change after i join and serve for a few years. i have checked out all branches except the air force and the coast guard. by the way it was high school i did not graduate, sorry if i confused anyone. but i took a pre test for the marines and the army and it was the same exact test. the only difference was that the marines test had a time limit that was not very nice, the army test had a time limit but i could still complete all the questions. the usmc time was going way to fast, what did you do in the navy by the way did you enjoy yourself and did you join because you wanted to go to college? i want to join because i don’t want to go to college. well thank you talk to you later.
cheers
hey dudes. i was just wondering if any of you guys have had prior military service? i went to my local recruiter on saturday, (03/29/2003) and i am thinking about joining the army. i’m not good enough for the MARINES because i did not graduate high school. i didn’t know you needed a DIPLOMA to learn how to fire a rifle and do push-ups. but, i have a great deal of respect for those who serve and those who have done so in the past, regardless of what branch they belonged to. my father was an officer in the army, and my grandfather served in the navy during WW2, and even though i play this AXIS & ALLIES board game, it could never amount to the grim reality of war. it is just a mere game. well, i would really appreciate any sort of replies or on joining the service it is something i have always thought about doing and i’m about 99% sure that this the best thing for me. i just want some honest answers and lots of encouragement that i’m not getting from my family about this. thank you.

if you have 7 or more of units that have the same attack value, such as 7+ infantry, or 5 tanks and 2 fighters, or 7 bombers etc. do you get to roll 12 dice as long as you have 7 or more of the same unit or same attack value. thank you
cheers
can you put down unlimited units in areas with industrial complexes? the way i always played was you could only put down as many units as the number of whatever country was on the map. thank you
cheers
this is what I would do.
japan- for your first turn, buy 3 tanks & an artillery. on your second turn you should at least have 30 something dollars, buy 5 tanks and whatever you can afford. on your third turn you SHOULD have 40+ dollars, buy 2 destoyers an 2 subs for the rest of the game.
summary- use the tanks to invade china, you’ll need them. spread your infantry out in china to where you use 2 infantry and a tank/fighter/or artillery to take those pesky countries and use the infanrty as casualties. with the subs and destroyers spread them out in the seazones that way us or uk cant run through you waterways. also try to take out as man allies in the first turn, even the us aircraft carrier in the lower right part of the board. and if you can, send some of those tanks in indias direction!!
united kingdom (india)- this is simple, just buy tanks. and use them aggressively!! hold the burma road!!
united kingdom (australia)- try to gather all remaining british naval units together and just build destroyers or subs.
summary- you arent gonna have alot of money to spend if you are playing a good player, so spend all your money. there is no time to waste!! try to get your territories back with britain, those islands are worth alot!! and finally, hope for good dice rolls!!
united states- for the first turn just buy 5 bombers and place them all in hawaii just because you can!! every turn after that you will probably have 72 dollars, but you must invest in task forces i wouldn’t bother with transports and men until the 4th turn then haul your marines and artilleries and start slaughtering!!
summary- the us could be effective no matter what you buy because they have so much money, but this usually works for me. try to send two task forces. one high and one low. this will box japans navy in, and their backs will be to the wall. oh and make sure you buy a fighter plane for china also, one every round, just for defense. hope this strategy works for you, it does for me, but i cant get into anymore details this post is long ENOUGH!!
cheers
ok i got two questions.
1-i used two kamikazies on my friends aircraft carriers with 4 fighters on it and was successful. he said that his fighters could fly to a nearby island or another carrier in a different sea zone. is that true?
2-if i have fighters on an aircraft carrier, can i move the carrier 2 or 3 seazones and then fly my fighters 4 movements? my friend says no but i beg to differ!!
thank you
cheers
is it possible to take islands like borneo, java, celebes, and the phillipines in the first turn? and if so how? do you have to load men on the japanese destroyers to do it? and if your boats are in the allies convoys, does that count as victory points?
cheers
