    • RE: German Blueprint: G1 Attack on Russia

      @Zhukov44:

       You’re exposed to risk in 110/111 and in France. Â

      this is a very important point. in fact, the odds that Germany will win all three battles should UK choose to scramble is only: 67%. (8.18.89.4/100)

      Unacceptable risk imo. If the opening led to some obviously dead won position for Axis then maybe or if I was playing a vastly superior opponent and I needed a few breaks to win then perhaps as well.

      As it stands, I wouldn’t dream of trying this approach against an equal opponent.

    • RE: German Blueprint: G1 Attack on Russia

      @Young:

      Purchase New Units

      1 Strategic Bomber
      1 Fighter
      1 Destroyer

      Combat Movement

      SZ#106 - 1 Submarine
      SZ#110 - 2 Submarines, 1 Battleship, 2 Fighters, 2 T.Bombers, 1 S.Bomber
      SZ#111 - 2 Submarines, 2 Fighters, 1 T.Bomber, 1 S.Bomber
      France - 7 Infantry, 4 M.Infantry, 3 Artillery, 3 Tanks
      Baltic States - 3 Infantry, 2 Tanks, 1 T.Bomber
      Eastern Poland - 2 Infantry. 3 Tanks
      Bessarabia - 2 Infantry, 1 Tank, 1 Fighter, 1 T.Bomber

      The tank in Bessarabia is unnessessary to achieving the desired result, and is simply a juicy target for Russia. Better to leave it out.

      Why buy the bomber and fighter? Why not tanks and guys?

    • RE: Balancing OOB Global

      @Xandax:

      My main issue with OOB is the inability to hinder the US income in most any plausible scenario which becomes a factor when USA enters the war.
      Giving any significant bid to the Axis would tip the scales too quickly in the early game, and allow them to rush Russia (for example) too fast.

      I suppose that is the real crux of the matter. Perhaps a cash bonus for Germany if they take out London or Moscow (keeping a G1 Russia attack on the table) would work instead of a straight up pregame bid.

      Perhaps if USA loses its “at war” 30 IPC NO would work.

    • RE: Balancing OOB Global

      i know 3.9 official.

      i am using some software that does not support the new rules. would like some input from the community on bids, not suggestions for doing something else.

    • RE: Balancing OOB Global

      @Uncrustable:

      you could figure out the total difference (in IPCs) in OOB and alpha 3.9

      divvy up that amount to the allied nations

      though you may have to add a few to achieve a closer balance due to the fact that some balance changes were indirect (scramble for one)

      that sounds a bit complicated. people were satisfied with a bid somewhere between 5 and 10 to allies or so in Anniversary edition, and without having to compare Anniversary to some other mod of the game.

    • Balancing OOB Global

      I’d like to play a fairly decent game of Global with OOB rules and setup. I’d like to solve the heavy Allied prejudice with a cash only pregame bid to Axis.

      Opinions on what would make it roughly fair?

      Thanks.

    • A&A World at War Video

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivY3jFXoXSY&feature=channel_video_title

      Playable in 720 and 1080 hd (recommended for good connections/computers)

      This video was mostly an experiment. It is largely unfinished, and is far from a complete introduction to the game - mostly a few random thoughts, and some experiments with presentation. No, i will not be doing anymore work on it or making changes. I may make more videos in the future based on what I learned making this one.

      Enjoy!

    • RE: Should Axis and Allies be reduced to 2 turns?

      this is an absurd question. what you are proposing is

      should axis and allies not be axis and allies anymore.

      having to coordinate the forces of different nations on different turns is the whole point of A&A its what makes A&A, A&A. to suggest doing away with it, which may very well make a better game, or a very good game in its own right, is to suggest baseball become cricket.

    • Q about the new transport rule

      @Larry:

      12. Transports are not allowed to end their movement in a sea zone containing any enemy subs unless at least one friendly warship is also present in the sea zone at the end of the movement phase. An unescorted transport could still move unescorted through a sea zone with enemy subs, but could not end its movement in such a sea zone. (12/06/10)

      So, a sub is now capable of defending a coastline against undefended transports landing troops. However, a sub does not prevent unescorted transports from loading troops. Correct? And if so, is this not rather inconsistent?

    • Q about the new scrambling rules

      if a land area is attacked by troops arriving by unescorted transports, and that land area has an airbase and fighters, can the fighters scramble to sink the transports before the land battle begins?
