      The greatest thing about zombies is that zombine is a good enough of an X force that you can have the “perfect” plan and it goes right out the window.

      @djensen:

      I’m not censoring anything. If you have subjective complaints, put them all here in this thread. If you have constructive criticism, start a new thread.

      Again, when the newbies arrive to learn more about AAZ and other A&A games, I want them to see a welcoming community. Seeing a bunch of posts of people hating on zombies, might turn people away.

      You got some strong points here, and I want to change my stand.

      I made another “play of the week” video and this time it features a nifty way to defend ANZAC Gargantua style.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDMoXetTPRg&t=74s

      If you learn of any extra-awesome moves that you think others would be interested in, please pass it on to me and maybe I will make a video of it.  Thanks!

      I thought I could do an SBR campaign on Russia with Japan and maaaaybe pull it off.  But Germany was just too weak on the Europe side and Japan would be weak in the Pacific is USA just simply started building over there.  Hopeless situation.  Anyay look me up sometime this year and we will face off again.  gg

      Axis win unless Allis can liberate a VC in Europe before Germany’s turn, which is not possible.  Result for this game was posted in league results 4 or 5 months ago.

      I think that game was over a long time ago; I just wanted to finish off taking ANZAC because I ever get to do that.  No chance of pulling off a win on either side of the world, but still fun.

      OK for $24 I will take infantries in Sakha, Buryatia, Amur, Novgorod, Belarus, and Archangel

      @variance:

      Although…. I once saw once a British fighter that got stranded on Madagascar because ALL of Africa and the middle east had been taken over by the axis, and their nearest carrier was in hudson’s bay if i recall correctly.
