    • RE: Trouble with Russian Strategy

      Thanks for all the insight. I’m starting to think my strategy with the US is a bit flawed as well now.

      In early rounds should I focus almost solely on the Atlantic front and funneling troops into Western Europe or possibly Norway? I have been amassing huge navies on both coasts and then sending them on massive destruction missions around round 4 or so (on both fronts).

      As effective as this has been against the Japs and in the seas all over the world it just doesn’t get the help to the Russians they seem to need by rounds 6-7.

      How do you guys like to play the US, Particularly in the first few rounds?

    • RE: Trouble with Russian Strategy

      So there is something to striking early? The German production and ability for early expansion will eventually outnumber the Russians at the line it seems.

      I can see how if this opening is effective it will buy you a few rounds at the least, but if it fails, doesn’t it leave you fairly weak to a back-door attack through the Caucases? Also, in either event, would it be wise to keep the Russians grounded or is it wise to build a navy. If so, when?

      Thanks for the reply.

    • Trouble with Russian Strategy

      Me and a few friends have stumbled through enough games now where we have a good grasp of the mechanics. Now we move on to strategy. I have to this point only played the allied factions. I do VERY well consistently with the UK, The US seems pretty easy to make a huge impact with some planning, but its those Russians I always struggle with.

      My thinking is to hold the line just long enough for some backup from my allies to arrive, but after 5 or 6 rounds the backup just hasn’t got there yet and I can no longer hold the line. I usually fall back to protect Moscow at all costs after that if it gets bad.

      Anyway, I seem to eventually get overwhelmed so I begin to wonder if I should make small strikes the whole while, not to conquer but to keep THEIR line from getting too strong. It just seems at some point I always end up facing a massive land assault that only luck will save me from.

      Any thoughts appreciated. I love this game and cant wait to get this one down so I can move on to a more advanced version.

    • New to A&A. Combat rules question…..

      A friend of mine and I are arguing over the interpretation of the attack/defend rules of basic combat. In the instructions it says to roll for all units with the same attack or defend value at the same time. Does this mean if I have 10 infantry units I roll one die for all ten or do I roll for each unit individually (10 Die)?

      My thought was that if you roll one die for multiple units with low attack value (infantry), it keeps their offensive value low (making battle more realistic), but rewards large numbers of infantry units by awarding many hits on a successful attack/defend roll.
      It seems a bit weird that a few infantry troops could very easily take out an equal number of  tanks.

      Lemme know your thoughts. Official rules first, but favorite house rules welcome.
