    • RE: Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Nov. 2018)

      I live in England, but wa born in Florence, Italy. I started playing A&A as an 18 year old at university. I only got to play once a week (4 hours) as part of the Boardgames Club and sometimes had to watch, if too many players wanted in. I was so obsessed that I would look forward to that one evening to the detriment of everything else. I would plan how Germany could win amd what I would buy. Russia was my nemesis amd my one goal was its conquest.

      I did buy Classic in my Second Year, I think. Did not play much (except by myself, plannning!).
      I got back into A&A when I heard Europe was coming out . Guess what? Yep, I got to invade Russia all over again.
      Anniversary was a wedding gift and I have bought every game since then.
      I don’t get any face to face games any more, as I have children and no time at the weekends (because of work).

    • WW2 Generals’ November birthdays

      I knew it was Ronmel’s birthday around now, so I looked it up. As it happens, I was two days out. He was born on the 15th (1891).
      What surprised me was that his nemesis, Monty, was also born in November. He was born on the 17th (1887).
      Manstein was the 24th (1887 like Monty) . Patton was the 11th Anderson the oldest of them (born in 1885).
      My Italian grandfather was November 11th too. But he only made Corporal!

    • RE: Q: amphibious assault w/o supporting naval units

      @snurkert Evening Snurkert. If you did not specify that any Air was in the sea zone, protecting the Transport, then the scrambling Fighter would get one one shot at 4 to sink your Transport and the carried ground units . If he misses, you can retreat back one sea zone fro which you came. The Air units would still have to attack London, of course. But could retreat after one round.
      Did you forget that your UK opponent could scramble to prevent the amphibious landing?
      Enjoy your game.

    • RE: World Tour 2020

      @djensen Private Panic, Credulous and I are within 2-3 hours of each other. I am in the Midlands and they are North of me. I am sure we would all do our best to congregate closer to London, if that were easier for you. There are a few members on the South coast too. (Lozmoid and Corporal Clegg are two .)
      Lovely idea you have. Hope it come to fruition.

      @djensen47 Those two Techs, rolled in the first two turns, have broken this game. I can’t hide anywhere on the map.

    • RE: Japan Attacking Northeast Russia Accompanied by Sealion

      @weddingsinger Like others have said, I would always play Japan as Japan, with the strengths it has. You can take the Far East on T2 or T3. But keep your eye on the Pacific amd subjugating China and keeping our income high. That will bother the Allies more in the long run. Germany will have a strong Russia at it s borders, but ought to be able to challenge them and start pushing them back. Italy will be able to help, as Egypt will probably fall without any U.K. income. They can then send units into the Caucasus or towards India.
      Enjoy whichever strategy you elect to use, however.
      As an aside, most Axis players forgo Sealion these days, as Russia is the key to the VP cities. Winning there is easier.

    • RE: 1940 vs anniversary balance

      @Hopper1999 . It is more balanced, because 1940 is very unbalanced, but the Allies still need at least a bid of 12. I would want more than 12 to play a player as good as me, however. I think I remember that the 42 set up is easier for the Allies though. The Axis can’t hurt them as much on Turn 1, as they can do in the 41set up.
