Hey all.
I am a new AA player, currently enjoying AAO.
I only play ranked - that’s Harry Larris 3.0 - and only Axis.
I find this thread really interesting and useful, even tho it’s about allies, as it explains a lot of stuff. This being said, I am looking forward to an Axis opening thread. :)
@Black_Elk If you have time, could you please elaborate a bit on the Japan factory on East indies opening? Why is it hard for allies to crack this one open?
After reading about it in your post, I tried it too, because examining the board it feels much easy to win India in < 3 turns. However, I’m at my 3rd try now, and every time the allied player answered with KJF. Which of course diverts my efforts from attacking India to defending Japan.
Now, discussing allied openings a bit from the other side, I have to say that I struggled the most when the allied player did the followings:
- kill everything in Ukraine, including the fighter
- killed the 2nd japan transport
- took Burma
- landed US atlantic transports in Africa to defend UK
All this together makes it for a very slow axis expansion and allows time to allies to build up their forces.
