RE: Confirmed: NOT a joke, game will be released
This may have already been asked, but anyways! How big will the board be?
Depends. Do you want the handrawn joke or the nonexistant “real” board?

RE: Heavy Shore Battery
Yeah, landing is its weakness. But otherwise I’m not concerned–it has 6 armor and 5 hull and a crazy 16 armor.
Honestly I think you’d need 2 landing ships to get by its guns.

This should be the final version…
if was a printed version, not crayola, it would be a pretty cool map.
Yup, but very un-A&A like.
I think it’s rather clear the cat’s out of the bag…
Yes they are relasing the game!!
I meant that a hand drawn map shows its fake.

RE: Uk minor ic persia egypt iraq
This works really well vs. a G1 Barbarossa. If you go Egypt and build mech/tanks there and in Union, you can press up around Caucasus (denying Germany NO’s) and otherwise screw with Germany/defend Moscow, or even take Stalingrad after Russia falls. That’s a beyatch for Germany to retake especially with a pipeline.

RE: The Details
The contradictions legs me a bit dubious.
There are more contradictions than broken links.

RE: Krieghund - Alpha final question
Yea,
But what if you play Pacific STAND ALONE?
And why the HELL doesn’t France get the 2 IPC’s for the territory in Europe Stand Alone - whilst the Russians get their plus 9 or whatever.
It’s B.S.
And it’s a good question for Jim to be asking.
Why the HELL does Russia get their 9? I mean, really. Why?
Like, seriously, considering how long some games go the Allies could have a moon base giving 1 IPC.

That’s so pitifully faked I lol’d.

RE: The Details
At 4 each of Inf., tank, fighter, bomber, battleship, sub, carrier, and transport that is all you get.
Crikey, I hope we get more than 4 Infantry per power!
Especially Russia, Germany, Japan (how do you do islands?), America and Britain!

RE: Japan strategy
When you say sack…do you mean take Tokyo?
If that’s the case…bullshit.  :lol:
I’m curious what you mean.Waiting till J3 is a pain, but it allows me to get more into the battle.

RE: Heavy Shore Battery
I’m probably going to use it as long as my opponent doesn’t have a landing ship to land with. Once that happens, I’ll pull it out and his landing ship will be useless!

RE: My Navy
@Field:
That third booster was a real stinker. :lol:
Hey, at least I have all the Greeks I could ever need!

My Navy
OK, I got my 3 boosters yesterday. What do you think of my draw? What should I do with an Axis or Allied fleet (either realistic or unrealistic) including the below and starter? Should I try to get a certain unit or booster pack?
Flank Speed: (and don’t tell me I got ships from less navally-strong Allies)
Axis:
German T27
Japanese B6N2 “Jill”
Japanese Oi
Allies:
French Suffren
Soviet GromkiySurface Action: (and don’t tell me I got a large Kriegsmarine/Luftwaffe)
Heavy Shore Battery
German Konigsberg (ironic I also got what crippled it as well)
German U-2511
German Fw 190A
Canadian HMCS AlgonquinCondition Zebra: (and don’t tell me that I got a lot of Greeks–quite surprising, thought that Giorgios Averof’s “Inspiring Example” ability would be useless)
French D. 520
American B-24D Liberator
Greek Proteus
Greek Vasilissa Olga
Greek Giorgios Averof -
Heavy Shore Battery
I got one of these, and I’m wondering essentially how you add it to your fleet. Who gets first pick? Do you bid on it?
Also is this a good unit?

RE: Strategy for AAM Naval help
@Deaths:
Ok im about to play naval minis and need some help.
Im the allies
Ships:Allies:
2 Battleships
1 carrier
1 auxiliary
2 subs
5 cruisers
5 destroyers
4 aircraftAxis:
3 Battleships (1 normal, 1 super, 1 Italian pre war ship)
2 subs
2 cruisers
5 Destroyers
6 AircraftI know I have more, but its that dumb old super battleship I cant sink. :x
What do I do? :?
well without knowing what exact units u are using, i would drop 3-4 of your cruisers, use points for more subs and fighters.
Don’t use the Auxilaries unless in a convoy scenario, they are mostly worthless for naval combat. exception to this rule is the Nordmark, actually a very useful Aux. (set 1)
Also knowing that he doesn’t have a carrier ahead of time is a huge advantage if exploited correctly.
Auxiliaries can be good anti-Heavy Shore Batteries. Considering I have a Shore Battery and no auxiliaries, though…

Inf cost is 1
Arty and mech cost 2
Tanks cost 4
Fighters 6
Tac 7
Bomber 8
AA gun 3
Mnior IC 8
Major ic 20
Subs 4
dds 6
Cruisers 8
BBs 13
Carriers 10
transport 5
Air base 7
Navy Base 7We would see MASSIVE armies
Awesome alert!

RE: Japan Attack on Russia turn 1 a huge success
@Cow:
I feel like no one plays both sides of the board around here. that everyone is axis lol. I should post some allies stuff.
And I feel like you always act like you’re the only one person who knows anything.
