@Gargantua:

Ok, what the hell is with all the players that - for example - make super-stacks in Russia, at the cost of their ENTIRE territory.

Is there some magical concept I’m un-aware of, that leads people to thinking this is a good idea?

In several play boardgames sections, and in some F2F games I’ve played, I’ve seen this same method used a number of times.

A russian stack of 70+ units, gets surronded in the capital on all sides, by 1 infantry.  And no Counter-offensives are launched.

Instead of front-lining and micro fighting the germans across the entire eastern front, the STUPA-STACK is used instead.

When are people going to realize, that unless your STUPA-STACK is so large, your opponent can’t beat it AT ALL, that it’s a bad idea in general.

A series of smaller battles, who’s odds you can control is always better than one massive battle which you’re going to lose most of the time.

I’m a firm believer that there’s a time and place for everything in Axis and Allies, (There really is).

But…

DON’T BE A STUPA-STACKER

Well - it’s pretty much a matter of cost/effective and a time perspective.
Does it cost you more or less than counter attacking/breaking out - and how much time does it buy you.

Depends on the mood and the game; but anywhere between and including G1 to G3.
G1 to have fun n’ mess around - G3 if I did/want to do Sealion - G2 normally.

Depends on what everybody else is doing, but I’d say abandon it (or at least defend it minimally) and if possible strike into Germany from the southern regions.

Again - sorry for the delay; back and ready to loose :)

Test summary from TripleA 20:06:35

PM is in the … mail :)

I’ve played some A&A over the years as board n’ pieces and mainly OOB rules for the Global edition; but have recently taken to TripleA with the Global map and the Alpha rules.
So I’m looking to start a game or two over triple A and am looking for players. I’m by far no experienced player with all the right moves - but I do like the game and I learn fast. So hopefully I can put up a fight.

I should be able to get some moves or three out per day (located in the CET time zone) - if nothing else, lunch break at work :o

Anybody up for giving it a whirl?

@techroll42:

Wow! I’ve been playing it wrong all along. But putting the Jap fleet at Pearl is REALLY leaving yourself in danger.

But also a way to freak out an Allies player and perhaps bait them into a 100% Pac. strategy ;)

@Cow:

So there are no powers not at war restrictions?

Not for this specific scenario.

There are restrictions for some of the nations when neutral where they can move their units. Like for the USA.

I don’t seem to recall seeing such restrictions for Japan though, so my immediate guess would be: Yes, they can.
