@Argothair

As of this writing, I agree it appears imbalanced in favor of the Axis but after several playings since my original post, I feel that’s due to the NOs. So, I’d prefer to leave them out. If you’re still interested, I’m game.

@Colonel_Sanders

I endorse every word of this assessment. Thanks for writing this. Glad to hear you guys got some cooperative exercise between turns too.

I need to take a break from AnA for two weeks as I’m in a job transition but I’ll be back in the saddle by the end of August. Please keep me in your roladex. Either way, I’ll def PM you guys. I run a YouTube channel on axis and allies focused on classic and strategies for that version.

I hope to add a series of videos regarding anniversary maybe next year and am looking to stack games in the meantime. hope to play with you guys again soon!

@CaptainNapalm those were my concept notes. I have other, more specific notes on purchasing and strategy for my next game that I’m just gonna keep for me.

Oh…the biggest take away though was:

Japan can hold its own w/o India or Australia. Holding India itself is not a slam dunk. I feel strongly about that and am happy that (is what I perceive) to be the case.

Japan did a FINE job w/o ever having those two territories.

@CaptainNapalm sure! the idea is one I imported from AnA Classic: keep the economy on your side.

I just want to make sure that the allies are pulling more money off the board than the axis from turn to turn. This I did until the last turn. This game(s) with you guys are the first time trying this strat so its not fully mature but things I noticed:

-UK cant be in/supply/influence India, Africa, and Norway area at the same time…its just too much for it to cover. Drop Africa or Norway. Probably Norway.

-UK probably shouldn’t expect to hold India indefinitely. Try giving it up to a competent player in the next game after a few turns of holding the line.

-USA might do better to cap Norway, build an IC (maybe two) and “floating bridge” an army in that direction rather than through Africa and the ME. The ME takes soooooooo long to get to.

@CaptainNapalm @Colonel_Sanders as interesting as this game has been, I’ll concede it on that. I learned a lot. Many thanks! Well played esp after that “Turkish Straits” confusion. Well done!

@CaptainNapalm damn that sucks, I thought those fighters were in Burma…eh no worries.

oh my…
