RE: Italy
@ncscswitch:
Italy as the 6th nation is one of Imperious Leader’s main concepts, and was a driving factor in the creation of the Axis and Allies Enhanced Realism Rules (I think that is the name they ended up using anyway).
where would I see the enhanced realism rules?

RE: Italy
@AJGundam:
Look in the Other Axis & Allies Variants section there are a bunch of threads about adding Italy in as a 3rd Axis player

Italy
If they ever make ANOTHER version of A&A i think tehy need to have the italians and a third axis power.

RE: Russian strategy qustions….
true…. though it woudl take time to get infantry online from west russia becasue tehre is no industrial complex. With the caucus and russia they would be online immedietly and ready to fight.

RE: Russian strategy qustions….
what do you mean? Im thinking that way is just caucus and russia and germany cant go any farther past that.

RE: Aggressive America - how to stop it?
yeah, i assumes it was the same.

Russian strategy qustions….
Any thoughts on the idea of just pulling russia back in teh west to a line involving JSUT russia and the Caucusus. MY thought being that Russia could then just defend those TWO countries instead of trying to hold all four territories ont he front. ALSO germany would have to spread itself to defend which would make for some easy straffing missions.

My Russia Strategy…
R1: do not attack
buy 8 infantry
move 4 inf from caucusus into karelia
take an arm and 2 inf from russia and move east. move the rest into karelia.
move ALL russian forces in the east to yakut.
Places all 8 inf into KareliaAt this point you have so many troops in karelia and so much ALSO in yakut that it will take a long time for Japan and Germany to get enough forces online to take this.
R2 :depends a lot on what Germany does, but generally germany takes caucusus
Assuming that happens, my strategy then is based on sending just enough guys south to retake the caucusus every turn while keeping karelia full of troops.From here on out, I just turn the russsian/german front into a meat grinder and let it wear down germany. Usually though I am so well defended after 2-4 rounds that I can buy arm and start attacking germany and REALLY put the hurt on.
Some of you may be asking about Japan coming through China and India.
well, thats going to take 3-4 turns in all likelyhood. So I really dont even worry about it. -
RE: Aggressive America - how to stop it?
That is the whole point… They buy stuff to get aggressive with!!!
maybe I dont understand. It seems like you are asking “how can I stop America from doing exactly waht its supposed to do?”
America is going to buy stuff, and get it online as fast as possible just like any other country. -
RE: German navy
I tried the ac and transport in my game and my opponent did a KGF strategy. My navy was destroyed under a wave of destroyers and fighters. Although there were numerous lucky rolls but I should have still lost.

RE: Which country is the hardest….
why do you say they are the hardest?
I think U.S. is easy, and I think Briton is the easiest to survive as as well -
Which country is the hardest….
Which country is the hardest to survive as?
i define survive as not gettting your capital captured.
for example, this is not my opinion but an example, I think russia is the hardest to survive as because germany greatly out numbers you.
so which country is the hardest. -
RE: Russia Round 1 Attacks
I think that if you are able to consilidate your forces in the east of russia, you should be able to do some significant damage to germany while only losing a slight amount in the east. I am at work so can’t look at the bored right now.

RE: Russia Round 1 Attacks
its true, I am new to revised.
but in revised, putting 4 units int he Caucusus, is STILL enough to slow the germany army down for at least a turn. or at least make it so expensive that counter-attacking should be hard. -
RE: Axis and Allies first turns - Germany
What is was laughing at is that, being reactionary isnt a strategy. Having a goal that you strive for and go all out to see to fruition is a strategy.
for instance, a strategy based on what someone else does isnt much of a strategy. Claiming that somone MUST capture Novosbrisk (I’m not saying this is an actual stategy, just giving an example) is a strategy.
Strategy:
1 a (1) : the science and art of employing the political, economic, psychological, and military forces of a nation or group of nations to afford the maximum support to adopted policies in peace or war (2) : the science and art of military command exercised to meet the enemy in combat under advantageous conditions b : a variety of or instance of the use of strategy
2 a : a careful plan or method : a clever stratagem b : the art of devising or employing plans or stratagems toward a goal
3 : an adaptation or complex of adaptations (as of behavior, metabolism, or structure) that serves or appears to serve an important function in achieving evolutionary success <foraging strategies=“” of=“” insects=“”>–
Simply being reactionary is not a strategy. However, the subsequent posts in the thread describe some of the proper reactions, thus delineating strategies.
If your claim is that strategies need not respond to an opponent’s actions, you are pwned again.</foraging>
wow…you went to the dictionary. you truely have to much time. And though I may be “pwned” by you, i still can be happy in the knowledge that I am NOT YOU. And that I have a life and I have friends. And that I a confident enough person that I don’t ahve to win a pissing match on the Axis and Allies board to feel better about myself. So i’ll help you out. YOU WIN. newpaintbrush is by far the ebst person at axis and allies, and at life. I lose. I am truely “pwned” by this great human being in my midst. You win this battle, and the war my friends…you win.

RE: Russia Round 1 Attacks
wow…new paint brush has an attitude.
Well ehre is my strategy as I remember it. I’m at work and dont have the board in front of me so I may not be remembering the number of troops in every spot.I buy 8 infantry (these will be placed in the caucus, unless something goes horribly wrong.
I take finland immedietly. Just karelia units and fighter from russia. sometimes I lose, sometimes I dont…but it will weaken finland and russia can grab it next turn or england can have it.
I then throw EVERYTHING I have in russia and archangel into west russia.basically my strategy is one of annoyance to germany for the first few turns until I have such a large number of infantry that germany will never be able to invade because of the long supply line from germany to the russian front.
I’ll write more later, but back to work. -
RE: German navy
@Imperious:
Its also much safer to just play defense than to take a huge risk with the fleet unification idea… Its only pertinent value is the threat turn after turn to come out, while Id rather be better off in the mean time shucking men to Moscow.
I hate this idea that Germany goes after UK first rather than the Soviets, so to keep the fleet in being i really am going after russia and threats on UK. Kinda of a 2 for 1 deal.
If the Allies try and tek me out they will suffer horrible loses which essentially does the a better job of exchanging the pieces then a german confrontation with UK directly.
fully agree in every way.

RE: Russia Round 1 Attacks
agreed, I find an aggressive russia is the ONLY way to play the game. If you can pin japan, or at least control the advances, and squeeze germany its pretty much a cake walk.
