RE: Michael Jackson
Micheal Jackson is going to be a new mutant in X-Men 3, from what I hear. He will have the power to change skin color, voice pitch, nose size, gender, and rape 12 year old boys and get away with it.

They took Nader off the Ohio ballot so Kerry would get more votes.

RE: The big question, what religion are you?
I think it was probably lumped into Protesstantism, along with Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans Etc.
Why? Protestants and Lutherans were formed by rebelling against the Catholic chruch. Baptists were never part of the Catholic chruch.@MuthaRussia:
Exactly Raarne they are protestant…
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TRS…are you a southern boy/belle?
You are baptist, and you have an email with Beagle in it…Just couldn’t help but notice…
I don’t understand your question; what do beagles have to do with Baptists?

Don’t the two LotR games connect together?
Is anyone going to answer my question?

RE: Axis or allies?grmne?USSR?us?uk?jpn?
Japan is my favorite. It has a good navy, can expand a lot to get a big income, and has a lot of options. Plus, with the Allies using the Germany First stragety, Japan only has to worry about a couple Russian terrioties.

RE: Most Important Neautral in Axis and Allies
@AgentSmith:
Peru and Argentina are about the same though, but you made a good point. Like I said I think just about any neutral has a reason for being invaded, and it seems like it is usually the Axis who can benefit whether its Peru, Turkey, Mongolia, or Sweden. The few neutrals that benefit the Allies are Spain, Angola and Afghan, but the benefits of the last two are minimal at best.
How does Turkey and Sweden benefit the Axis and Angola and Afghan benefit the Allies?

RE: What to do with W. Canada infantry?
@AgentSmith:
Japan concentrating on the US instead of Russia will doom Germany.
I couldn’t agree more. Germany needs someone to keep Russia in check, even if it is only at a loss of 2-4 IPC’s in the first few turns. Plus a lucky/crafty Japan can take away 6 UK IPC’s by turn two and a two border shot into Sinkiang.
Japan can concentrate on Asia with their Asian troops and use their navy to take out america’s navy.

@AgentSmith:
Russia shouldn’t fall that quickly. If they build guys and defend Karelia, how will Germany take Moscow. Failing in this if Japan then vacates its Asia territories it runs a great risk of seeing Russia or the other Allies taking them back.
Why would Japan vacate its Asian territories?

RE: Most Important Neautral in Axis and Allies
I think mongolia is the most significant neutral country because as you said, its a shourtcut to Moscow
If the Japanese tried to use Mongolia as a shortcut to Russia, they would get killed by the Americans/Russians on their next turn. But, if the Japanese somehow did not get killed by the American/Russians, and on Japan’s next turn they passed through Mongolia and into the boarding unoccupied Russian terrioty(if it still is unoccupied), they would be surronded by the Americans in China and the Russians in Moscow. A better move would be to move all the Japanese units in Asia(except one infantry in Manchuria) into Sinkiang on the first turn. Then land 2 fighter into French Indo-China Burma and 2 more in Manchuria. Transport two infantry from Japan to Manchuria and two from the Philippine Islands. This will work a lot better than trying to go trough Mongolia because once both parts of China and India are taken over, Japan and Germany will be surronding Russia(unless Germany already took over Russia)instead of Russia and Americans surronding Japanese troops in Mongolia.

@AgentSmith:
… If Japan goes to Alaska on their first turn it will seriously deprive them of valuable forces in Asia for many turns to come and lead to problems down the road. So while Japan may get 2-3 ipcs for Alaska and Wcan they will lose many more by not taking Yakut, Sink, Sfe, China and India which are worth a total of 11ipcs.
When I invade Alaska, I do it after I take over both America’s Chinese terrioties and India. By then Russia should have fallen to the Germans, so the Russians will not be focusing on Japan. This leaves Japan able to invade Alaska and begin to try to take out America.

RE: What to do with W. Canada infantry?
I usually use it for help in Europe. The people I play against don’t focus much on Alaska, and the extra infantry in Europe is always helpful :D.
How can the Japanese not focus on Alaska? It is the most logical place to begin an invasion of America since a transport in Japan can load and unload at Alaska in the same turn. The next best place for Japan to invade America would be Panama, but that takes several turns to get a transport there.
