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.

Thanks, I learned a lot from this game and I will.

Thanks AQ, fun games

Too bad you got diced I got lucky there… Should have invested more in london! Yeah ill set it up

OK, GG WP

Nah, it was a good game. Fast game too, lots of fun.

scramble?

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

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!

thank you Zhukov44

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

Good game.  Its fun playing against you.

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

other thread is posted. awaiting scramble orders

@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.

LOL the cliffside commando’s lol…

The downfall is that this will be heavily in favor for the Allies.

sure.  Set it up and PM me

@taamvan:

The carrier “swap” would only work if the carriers started in SZ 38, the other distances are too far to “shuttle bomb” (my name for that swap).  Unless you have the air base, or more carriers.

So J1 you move your carriers to 36, J2 to 38/41 to block 37 getting blocked 🙂 Both of those SZs support a swap on J3.

@taamvan:

With no mobile units to start, how could UK take Yunnan?  It just cant get there until later in the game to threaten it.

So if UK moves its initial units to Berma on UK1, and then Japan is taking Yunnan on J1 and retaking it on J2, those Berma units would be easily enough to take Yunnan on UK2, right?

@taamvan:

The J2 is what is stopped by the blocker.  On J2, Japan can move to SZ 39 at peace, so it just ignores the blockers.  Then you’d use the UK/ANZAC trick, we hope.  J3 is impossible to stop, but it just wont work because there is no landing place (Burma, Ceylon) for the bulk of the fighters.

J3 is impossible to stop if you do this, but the 3 TTs you build on J1 will be at your SZ36 Naval Base on J2, and rely on SZ37 being open to participate.  And if UK is at peace UK2, there’s nothing stopping him from moving a DD to SZ37.  Isn’t the point of the initial transports that you’re hitting Calcutta with 12 land units instead of 6 in front of all of that air power?  Seems like a much more IPC-favorable battle.

@taamvan:

The best move is to get 6 men into Burma, in a way that UK wont attack (because he is afraid of defending short), then get 6 MORE men the next round, so you double the transports ability too.  This only works 1 time because of the limited number of ground troops the Japanese have in that area to start, unless you slow down the whole plan in general to a J3.

I didn’t quite understand the part about doubling the transport ability, but I think you’re referring to using the initial TTs to take Burma J2, right?  That move puts pressure on Calcutta while making sure you keep the Yunnan landing zone.  How can those TTs be reused though, I only see the 2 units in Siam that can get in position for that?

Hey Dominic, keep playing and soon you will learn to spot those tricks before they hit you.  There really isn;t much you can do to stop Japan grabbing India from you, but watch out for Italy grabbing Egypt becasue it can be a bitch to get it back.  See you next time!

I recently obtained a 2nd hand Playmobil Roman Arena. Unfortunately the lions were missing…
