    • RE: Axis and Allies Online?

      Two questions.

      First, isn’t it hard to play on a 2d “board”. Won’t you miss a lot of things that you would normally spot on a 3d board? I suppose this is probably something that you get used to over time.

      Second, I’ve always wondered how the dice work. So if I type:
      ;aaa 2@1, 4@3 - but with a : instead of ;
      But what if I don’t like the dice results? Why can’t I just delete that and then retype the same command?

    • RE: If Germany tries Sealion…

      @Young:

      @ronrye:

      @Young:

      My purchases would be, 1 fighter, 1 bomber, 1 destroyer.

      Why don’t you buy an AC?

      I truly believe that the cause and effect principle from the latest modifications will result in many G1 attacks on Russia. I plan on doing this in our 6 player game tommorrow when I play Germany, and if I attack Russia G1 (which I feel will become a popular strategy) I won’t be able to sustain a pissing contest with the UK fleet. I have also changed my ideal purchase to 1fighter, 1 destroyer, and 4 infantry…. I will buy a bomber in round 2 if I lose 1 during G1 when I send both on a SBR into Lenningrad.

      So do you never do sealion? This topic’s heading is about Germany doing sealion.

      The first question I wanted to clear out of the way in this topic was what people playing Germany would hit of the UK’s navy. (I’ll get to the next question soon.)

      @jim010:

      What rules are you thinking?�  OOB you can hit them all.�  Alpha 3 I leave 109 alone and hit the rest.

      Alpha 3.

      I hit 106, 110 , 111, 112 in 3+

      How do you hit 112? Or do you mean 3.5? In 3.9 aren’t both cruisers moved?

      Is alpha 3.9 this:

      "Move the French cruiser in 112 to 110.
      Move the UK cruiser in 112 to 111.
      Move the German cruiser and transport in 113 to 114.
      Add 1 UK mechanized infantry and 1 French infantry to United Kingdom.
      Add 1 UK infantry and 1 AA gun to Scotland.
      Change 1 French tank and 1 French artillery in France to equivalent UK units.

      Change the Soviet “Spread of Communism” NO to “3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls.”"?

      And then what are alpha 3.6-3.8?

    • If Germany tries Sealion…

      what is the best way to deal with the UK navy? Is it relatively safe to hit sz 109, 110, 111, 112?

      Generally what I have done is this:
      sz 109, bring 2 subs, 1 ftr, 1 tac, 1 bom
      sz 110, bring 2 subs, 3 ftr, 3 tac
      sz 112, bring 1 sub, 1 bat, 1 cru, 1 ftr, 1 tac
      and with the remaining bomber, I might use that for France or in one of those zones. This leaves the battleship and destory on sz 111 free. Good idea? Bad idea? I want to contribute enough planes to sz 109 and 110 so that it keeps UK from scrambling.

    • RE: What is the definition of Russia being at war in the Pacific?

      @kcdzim:

      It would have been simpler to just say “nya nya nya, never trust a Ruskie” and then just gone right ahead and declared war on Japan, move units into India, and be done with it.  It’s all well and good to make a pact but really, desperate times call for desperate measures.

      I thought about that, but I didn’t know that my fighter tactic wouldn’t work, and so I didn’t prepare Russia beforehand. 1 Ftr wouldn’t have made any difference with what he had and the tiny bit that UKP had.

      Does this mean that when you play as Russia you always play as though Japan is going to break whatever peace agreement you might have made?

    • RE: What is the definition of Russia being at war in the Pacific?

      Here was the situation:

      I was Russia, and I (without knowing) made a stupid pact with Japan. The agreement was this: “Russia cannot move units into Japanese territories, and Japan cannot move units into Russia territories and a state of war may not exist between Russia and Japan”. At the time, I was happy because I wanted to pull those 18 inf back to Moscow in case Germany attempted barbarosa. The Japan player was happy too because it didn’t have to defend the North at all.

      Over in Europe, the Allies were doing fantastic. Sealion was successfully stopped, and Germany went into sort of close-down state (which meant only buying inf for the rest of the game after round 2). When I (as Russia) could finally declare war, I took as many countries as possible, maximizing my income with the 3 ipc NO. Russia’s income compared to Germany’s income by round 7 was 3:1. On round 6, Rome fell to US and UK took Northern Italy to keep Germany from liberating Rome. It was going great for the Allies.

      In the Pacific it was the exact opposite. J4, Japan controlled all the DEI and Manila. On round 4 or 5 all of China was defeated. On round 6 they took Sydney. Now all they needed was Calcutta. Due to an unlucky attack (in which UKP had the advantage), most of the army on Calcutta was destroyed. I was aware of all this–that Japan only needed Calcutta to win and that they could easily take Calcutta in 2 turns. The US had naval superiority in the Pacific, and it could finish off virtually all of Japan’s navy in the next 2 rounds (and there was no way Japan could possibly take Honolulu or San Fran). But, I had the “perfect” plan to stop Japan from winning. My plan was to simply fly one of my Russian fighters into Calcutta so that in order to take Calcutta, Japan would have to fight a Russian unit, and since they **couldn’t**attack a Russian unit, Calcutta would never fall to them!!! This was “perfect” because I knew that in a few rounds, there would be no doubt that the Allies would win.

      However, a few minutes after I scared the Japan player by showing him my plan, and after he searched the rules for a few minutes, he excitedly pointed out that Russia is neutral in the Pacific and that it can’t move units into another power’s territories until they are no longer neutral. Since I knew that in a few rounds the Allies would be clearcut total domination winners regardless of whether Calcutta fell or not (I realize that global domination isn’t the victory condition, but I’m just saying that if it was), I tried to defend my plan by asking if I could attack a German sea unit if it’s in the Pacific. I was at war with Germany, and if I’m attacking on the Pacific map, then I’m at war IN THE PACIFIC. And, of course, if I was at war in the Pacific, then I could move my russian fighter into Calcutta, and the Allies would win.
