I’m looking for an opponent! I’d like it to be a league game. If you like to play the Allies, it would be perfect.

RE: Germany first buy: 4 fighters
Thanks for the input guys. My oponent should really have landed in Africa with UK on the first turn.
I also thought that sending a Russian fighter in Anglo Egypt was a big mistake made by my oponent, so was it to not leave Leningrad completly empty.
My bad I said 1 inf and one art from Africa but of course it was 1 tank and 1 inf. I also forgot to say that my two subs in the baltic were moved in seazone 7. I knew my navy was going to be destroyed, but it forced my oponent to split his airforce, and I saved a sub and killed one fighter with my transport/dest fleet.
I guess my oponent did not play really well with Russia because even thought I had few land units on the Russian front, my fighters always allowed me to trade territories and to keep UK and US navy at bay for a while.
Now I have to explain what were, in my opinion the advantages of such a move. UK and USA had to buy much more navy to protect their transports, so even thought my russian front was some kind of weak, Germany was almost never threatened, and the Allies coult not build any fleet in the Pacific. On UK1, my oponent send his Indian SZ Fighter to destroy my tank in Anglo-Egypt along with the Transjordan inf. He succeded, but my lonely Japan transport stayed alive, so I only had to buy one on J1 and could already build a factory in Mandchuria. On J1 I took China and Buryatia. Two turn later a factory was build in French Indochina, and another one in India a turn later.

RE: Germany first buy: 4 fighters
However, I played this strategy last game against a guy who beats me 2 times out of 3 and I crushed him hard. It looks like you underestimate the power of 10 fighters and 1 bomber against the starting weak fleat of the allies.
Anyway anyone has real strategy to counter that instead of saying that Germany would not have enough land unit?

Germany first buy: 4 fighters
Let’s say the axis start with a 7 bid, which is 1 ART and 1 INF in Ukraine.
Generally, Russia takes strongly West Russia and leaves Leningrad pretty openend. One russian fighter doesn’t fight and goes to Anglo Egypt.
My Germany first buy is 4 fighters.
Combat are: Leningrad strongly, since there is almost nothing there to defend it. The three infantries in Norway stay in Norway.My sub in SZ8 goes fort the english battleship in the Med, so do my norway, france, germany and balkan fighters. I send the two others fighters in anglo egypt with my bomber, plus the art and inf that where already in Africa and I transport an inf and a tank from Italy. My battleship takes the english destroyer. Everything goes perfectly fine for me, Anglo Egypt is taken with a tank and I have zero planes lost.
HOW do you counter that?
Jazz and rock on!

RE: Newbie Experiences!
I always played Germany when we began to play: my strat was to only buy tanks, and if uk and usa were pressing too hard after some round, I built subs and… more tanks!
By that time, Russia was buying bombers and tanks, UK was going all out on Ic and destroyer (hey, Germany had subs), and Japan was only fighting USA on the water.
We were always screwed up with planes when there were islands and AC…

RE: Spanish
My main language is french. When I was younger and didn’t speak english, i found it very funny to see english people talking french and not using the proper genre for a noun.
To me it was so “normal” that a chair was femenine gender when a boat was a male…
Now, I realise how strange it is to give a gener to nouns. I guess it’s because we are french :roll: -

RE: New proof that Global Warming is a myth!
well then the astronomers should just get together and decide on a fixed orbit
Dude you’re right!
I forgot that our world was so simple :wink: -
RE: New proof that Global Warming is a myth!
Not to deflate your hopes, but we could fill cannisters in space and bring them down. The added gravity would put them under more pressure and we could release the gas. Woolah! No heat absorbed! No added expense, we just fill em as part of our currently scheduled misions and let the gravity of the world pressurize them for free upon reentry.
Gee, why am I the only person on the planet that seems to figure this out? Oh wait, I’m not, just that when people come up with rational ways to “effect” the planet’s atmosphere you say it’s unfeasible because it wont do enough or try to pick holes in the logic.
Come up with a better plan that doesn’t involve punishing only US Citizens like Kyoto.
:cry:
I hope you are not talking seriously…
If yes, it’s a pity. -
RE: New proof that Global Warming is a myth!
@ncscswitch:
If it were just one topic, you would be correct Mech.
But it is EVERY topic.
Sometimes you just got to let it go, and let the person that you beleive is wrong, to continue being wrong and just hope he/she realizes that they are. :wink:
But for some people (i’m one of them ans switch surely is too), seeing lies and half truths getting spread all around is really annoying. In fact, i don’t care if Jen doesn’t change it’s mind (and principallu her way to “debate” and to bring “proofs”), I just find it SAD to see taht much bullshit beeing spread. Worst thing is too many people (thoses who aren’t well informed and those who absolutely need something to beleive in) are buying bullshit.

RE: New proof that Global Warming is a myth!
Ac works on the theory of conservation of energy. When you compress a gas and then decompress it you suck energy from outside to heat up that gas. This is standard Chemistry and Physics, for a college grad, I’m really amazed you don’t understand it.
OMG…
Switch, you have a lot of determination to argue with Jennifer. Posts like this one show me how pointless it is.
“Let’s not buy AC for my house, i’ll just keep 3-4 old fridges working doors open and enjoy it” :roll:

RE: New proof that Global Warming is a myth!
But some people don’t want to hear about that…**I think it’s because they view themselves as God and think they can effect what God has made and that makes them feel important…**at least it isn’t as scary as conceeding you have no power over the environment as a whole.Â
To me, it’s more like you think you’re superior enough to have discovered what were god’s plans (if any)…

RE: Russian Fighter in AngloEgypt?
@ncscswitch:
Was not missing the point, just using it as an apportunity to illustrate :-)
Okyday. But still, imagine if someone else didn’t want to be axis and bid 32+! Wow! What a dynamic shift in game mechanics THAT would result in!
32 would be 3 trannies in baltic + 1inf 1 arm in libya
haha poor UK :evil:

RE: German Factory Placement
@ncscswitch:
Only Playtesting will ever tell :-o
I’ve had that idea a year ago and played it twice. It was pretty funny, but I was too inexperimented to fully explore the possibilities as Germany.

RE: 150 IPCs - Built the best fleet possible…
3ACÂ Â 48
4FGTÂ Â 40
2DDÂ Â Â 24
2BBÂ Â Â 48150 on the nose.
Subs suck because they don’t hit well, don’t defend well, and can’t hope to live an air assault.
Destroyers are much nicer, and having three loaded carriers will pawn anything which tries to attack.
The two battleships with soak up hits, amphibious invasion support, and destroy anything.
Fighters also have more versatile uses than subs.
What if ennemy has a large fleet of subs. Your toast. You don’t have enough fodder and those AC will probably die…
