Still won’t let me post from Triple A or manually from the forum. Seems to be a problem internal to the website.

Ok Varn I’ve totally lost direction in this game and will humbley surrender.
Thanks for the lessons and well played my friend!

Flip Flop has agreed to play me for this game.

I’ll post here when we finish and I’m ready for another!

I’ll get a game started with Triple A before the weekend then!

I’ve got to think for a bit about a new allied strategy to try, however, and I work long hours the next two days.

I’d agree with your analysis.
The South Africa factory was interesting to me.
Feel free to let me know if you ever feel like a rematch sometime.

Good game!

Hey Varn

Whenever you get the time I’d have you a game.
just pm me anytime.

Thanks Flip,

Message sent, sir!

Thank you all for the clarification!

The biggest impediment for new players in this, BOTB and to a lesser extent D-Day, is a tendency to think things work like they do in the global A&A games. You must read the rulebook as an independent document. If you get stuck on something DO NOT fall back on a ‘that’s the way it works in _________’ method to sort it out. You will be wrong.

Do not use the optional national advantages rules for your first game. Note the errata on the reinforcement point system.

This is a fun game but it is really different. You have to set aside all of your thinking from other games with “Axis and Allies” in the title except for the most fundamental strategy considerations. The considerations that you’d apply to any war game fundamental. This radical difference is both the game’s blessing and curse.

UK’s turn!

I will play axis

This is also a great place to play I find.  This game is based on timing, while I also hate the idea of the Japs running wild, the Germans are running pretty wild now.

The allied navy in the Atlantic is like a leash on Germany.  If you can get into Sz5 you threaten so much of what is important to Germany that they cannot lean forward against the Soviets like the would otherwise.  It takes England too long to get rolling without US support.

@jonathan-rost I am in Ohio I will send you an email.
