    • RE: German strategy for building AC

      @General_D.Fox:

      My “friend” didn’t give a damn about the Pact and in the third round hit Novo. Non-aggression pact my commie-red backside! 😄 :x

      Right. gotta watch the backside! 😮

      @newpaintbrush:

      I usually trigger Non-Aggression pact J3-J4 ish with overwhelming hordes from Japanese transports.

      You will eventually want to invade Russia, and when you do, it’s a lot better to force Russia to lose those infantry to a coastal invasion than having thse infantry in, say, Novosibirsk or Kazakh, or even Caucasus.

      My son has 5inf in Bury.  I was thinking of being tricky and triggering the Pact in Kaz or somewhere and then crushing Bury the turn after, but I’m not sure that will help.

    • RE: German bid: Two infantry in West Russia. Yay or nay?

      @newpaintbrush:

      That isn’t another way to ask the question. That, sir, is threadjacking. Which as I am sure you know is a proud tradition here.

      But by all means, let us call a spade a spade!

      –

      Baltic transport, Mediterranean transport, French Indochina infantry, Manchurian infantry, Japanese transport. All bids worthy of consideration, I think. Not to say that Ukraine infantry doesn’t have its charm, but I’ve tried that variation enough to believe that I wouldn’t go for it unless I can put at least 2 infantry there.

      OK, it’s a spade.  Just trying to keep the thread going… the masses have spoken:  13-0 against 2inf in WRus.  :lol:

      So it begs the question, what other moves do you like.  Yeah, those sound like good ideas.  Funny, I hear so little about bid units for J.  Inf in FIC seems very helpful.

    • RE: KJF

      @DarthMaximus:

      Here’s one of my games, with the KJF variation that I like use.
      I will also use a 2 AC, 1 ftr purchase on US 1. In the game below I went BB and AC.

      http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=8741.0

      Thanks, Darth, I will check that out.

    • RE: New German move, let me know what you think

      @squirecam:

      @newpaintbrush:

      Oh yeah, one more thing.

      A destroyer WOULD be fine, but the thing is - fighters are pretty useful, and I don’t see that the UK spending its turn on 3 x fighters really HELPS Germany a whole lot.  Yes, a response of 3 UK fighters does delay UK building its transport chain, but on the other hand, not only do you delay the German ground unit production in turn, but ALSO, you will have to contend with the UK air being used to trade territory on the UK turn.

      Im not sold on a UK 3 fighter buy. USA, ok. Not UK. I see 3 fighter buys from UK as Germany, I’m happy.

      Squirecam

      Yeah, um, what squire said.

      Squire, it’s entirely possible I will never question your judgment again (unless you advocate buying lots of bombers or something)!  I’ve tried out some moves with the G1 naval buys, and I see now how they can be beneficial.  Also, after testing out J moves (against a mostly KGF allied plan), I totally agree on your projections of J IPCs; sorry I doubted you!

      Hauptmann-Jager, at least give this G1 buy a chance:  3trn, 2inf 2arm.  Put the 3trn in the Baltic.  From there you have quite a few options.

    • RE: German bid: Two infantry in West Russia. Yay or nay?

      I have only played with a bid a couple of times so far, and I have placed units in Libya both times.  I vote thumbs down on WRus for the reasons others have said.  But here’s a another way to ask the question:

      What other bid placements have you tried other than Libya?

    • RE: German strategy for building AC

      Surprise, surprise, I didn’t have to threaten or bully my son to get him to play!  But after he scraped himself away from his D&D books, and given his sloth-like pace of play, we managed only another 1 round of play.  He ended Russia’s turn with about 30inf + other stuff on WRus.  I left my Karel stack basically intact and strafed Arch, took back Belo and Ukr which he left undefended.  However, US did make its first real move by landing in Algeria.  At this point I have to commit more infantry to WEur/SEur, as he is threatening invasion SOON, like maybe next turn unless I’m careful.  But since he said he was thinking KGF but used Colonial Garrison in India, he is splitting UK’s efforts.

      It’s like many of you have pointed out, though, with that IC in India he’s got to DEFEND it, which in all likelihood is impossible against J; I have about 8inf and 6+arm in range to attack India next turn.  Difficult to have IC in India unless pure KJF, right?  We’ll see how much he reinforces it.  (Don’t forget, he took Non-Aggression pact, so it’s a better choice for me to go the southern route anyway.)

      If you want the REAL poop …

      I have two young boys, I don’t need anymore real poop, sham-poop is good enough. (aka shampoo, get it?)

      That is somewhat disillusioning for certain members of the forum, namely everyone not named Jennifer, namely men. 😮 😢 :lol:

      To be disillusioned, you must first be illusioned, dear.

      Damn straight.  And don’t you dare ever change that “picture” of yours! 😄

      If I say my brother was in Air Force ROTC, does that get me back on topic? :roll:

      Tell us more about this “persuasion”.

      “Luuu-ceee!  Do I hafta ‘splane ev’rythin 2 u?  If u dunt play d’ bort gem w’ thme, u dunt gettallowance!!!”

      “Uh-ewww!  Can I still be in the show?”

    • RE: German strategy for building AC

      In some ways it’s harder playing a 12-year-old newbie, because he WON’T always make the “logical” or expected move.  That’s why I wonder if my lone tank is safe in FWA; my son doesn’t care if it makes sense to destroy that.  Does he care enough to keep playing, that is the question. 😉

      Last night we did not play.  My fault entirely; we went to our local game store to have fun at “game night”, where we try out lots of different board/card games, etc.  For some reason there was a guy from Hero Games teaching some weird game called Cyberspace, IIRC.  It was fun, but it took longer than I expected, so we couldn’t even finish one game.  😞

      I challenged one of my friends to try A&AR, I would take Axis, but he thinks the game takes too long.  I tried to convince him we could save time by using TripleA, but he is not sold on it. 😢  I’m persistent; I’ll think of a way to get him hooked.

      Meanwhile, tonight I have to “persuade” my son to play…
