I’ve thought about going to the convention but I bartend so weekends off are tough. A table top match on a weekday is always an option for me.

Until you explain how this happened, I am going to assume you made it up.

Crazy how I made up all of these increasingly fantastical scenerios, then the OP finally comes out of the woodwork to respond, only to say he’s actually seen a Russian fleet with transports in the Pacific. This dude has me all messed up now. lol

Like I said I made it all up. I was trying to coax the OP out of hiding.

I don’t have the map in front of me but now that I think of it Italy has a better chance of going through Gibralter and sailing around south America if they really wanted to bust into the Pacific lol

@Caesar:

That doesn’t explain how Italy got a fleet through UK territory and escort it’s army to ANZAC without it being destroyed.

You guys should be more concerned about how the Russians sacked Tokyo game before that.

In my last game France took Berlin on F8. It was wild, but nothing like the game before that when Italy took Sydney on I7. We never talk about the Italian Pacific can-opener, it’s a real game changer.

I need to know how Italy got a fleet and army to ANZAC.

Utter determination. Italy was seeking retaliation because our game before that ANZAC sacked Rome on turn 9.

This guy is starting to really ratchet up the troll job.

In many games agasinst a savvy Russian player the Germans will need the factory in Ukraine to build for their final attack on Moscow. The odds by turn 6 are so close between the German advance and the Russians turtling in Moscow but also threatening a counterstrike that the best Italian can-openener might be Bryansk. If this is true then Italy can delay the 1 mech 1 tank buy until I2 and I1 maybe buy a fighter instead.

Its starting to feel like this guy is just trolling us with these “essays.” I mean come on, man. Many of these statements are way too out of touch. Can’t be serious.

I would hesitate to jump so far so quickly. He/she probably is just discovering this forum and/or other sources of strategies, and their game group has probably been disconnected, if you will, from the most effective strategies that the wider A&A community takes for granted.

I will note that in his first essay (the Barbarossa one) he mentioned how G40 had recieved “little attention on this blog”, which I take to mean the main axisandallies.org website (which most definitely does have a lack of G40-related articles, last I checked) as opposed to the forums. I knew about axisandallies.org the site long before I knew about the forums, so maybe that is what happened here.

I didn’t mean to be harsh just speculating. I get it. This game is special because it has a lot more nuance than one would readily perceive.  I have no problem with the thread just made me scratch my head.
