I agree with the shield and sword statement. It is my experience that Germany on its first turn should buy a transport for Italy and all men. Regroup your tanks and all your infantry into Eastern Europe and plan to take Karelia on turn 3 if possible. Turn 2 can work but can be costly. Germany should buy mostly all men on turn two and three as well and move them into Eastern Europr so as to overwhelm Russia and get ahead of their infantry total. Once Germany has more infantry than Russia attack Karelia with men and tanks only, save your planes. From Italy send two full transports every turn into Egypt and Trans Jordan until you secure the Suez and subsiquently Africa. Meanwhile Japan hits China, and India and then all out Russia, while still maintaining suppremacy in the Pacific by staying one step ahead of the US and as someone else mentioned take out as many US and UK ships as possible while not over commiting your fleet and only losing the cheap expendable replaceable pieces. An IC is a good idea if you are sure you can hold it: Manchuria is good to go after Russia, but can be reinforced by Japan transports anyway, FIC is safer but India is the best of both if you can capture and hold it, because it is two squares “a tank blitz” away from Caucauscus and Trans-Jordan and you can move fleet through the Suez if needed and assist Germany in conquering Africa as required. Not to mention taking precious money away from the UK. Japan would then purchase three tanks every round for India (or FIC) and keep that up until Russia falls. From India or FIC you can also launch a strike on Australia and New Zealand to further hurt UK. If UK buys an IC on India, Japan MUST capture it at all costs or UK will get the upper hand and its game over. If Germany and Japan hit fast and hard as a unit first at UK to bankrupt and “stall” them and get the valuable money they need and at US to “stall” them, then maintain that stall on both of them and go all out Russia so as to hit Moscow on the 5th or 6th turn from both sides, the Axis will have an IPC victory easily or if using victory cities (AA50 and new) or complete victory rules they will be on their way to world domination. :-)

So a 15 bid would mean that the axis player can place only 7 ipc’s worth of material on the board in the normal locations.
There isn’t restrictions on where the units can be placed? ie… w/the 7 ipc’s Germany can place an art & inf in the same territory, WRU (western Russian) for example? Is this correct?
-
Absolutely correct! The 8 IPCs cash from your example could either be provided to Germany or to Japan or split up.

Alas, I might have to pull out of the running for this Tounament as I will be away for the month of May on Holidays and will have limited access to be able to play as I will be travelling. Sorry about any inconvenience.
There are plenty of players better than me on this site anyway that will be able to take my place should they choose to do so. -
Lili,
If it is not too late to sign up for qualifying, I would like to do so.
Please let me know what I need to do to sign up for the Qualifying rounds…
-
I believe I will join and take up the A&A.org banner, as well.

Hi Rand,
holidays (especially in May) are really no problem. Let me explain: You can take a break of two weeks in the game anyway (e.g. because of holidays). Additional the first qualifying game lasts until May 15th. So if your game is not over until your holidays begin you can take your take your official two weeks break and the game will be judged. So if you don´t linger too much in your game before May, there´s really no problem. Of course, the decision whether to take part or not, is up to you.Cheers

Please let me know what I need to do to sign up for the Qualifying rounds…Superb that you decided to take part. There´s nothing else to do for you (of course you could sign-up yourself on our tourney site, if you wish). You´ll get a mail shortly before the Championships start.
I believe I will join and take up the A&A.org banner, as well.
It seems axisandallies.org is gaining ground again… :-D I already read your mail. Thanks for joining.

Hi,
half of the time for applications is over now, but you still have two weeks to sign-up for the Axis & Allies World Championship.
Meanwhile (after two weeks) we have more than 30 participants from 4 A&A clubs. The players come from 5 countries (of course most of the players come from DAAK and are germans).
As we said earlier, each player is not only fighting for his own kudos but also for his club. Now a player from AAMC called attention to the point that it would be a honor to play for the mother country. We will implement this as well. In my case it would be: Lili Marleen, DAAK, Germany.
Let´s see if we can increase the number of participants until the end of the registration deadline at February 29th.
Cheers

Lili……U.S.A. for me.
I think I might need to watch the move Miracle before participating in this tourney.
DM, do I need to like V-05 now, if we are both playing for AAORG and the stars and stripes?
DM you can be our Mike Eruzione. “Mike Eruzione, Winthrop Mass,… I play for the USA”.

I was leaning toward Tibet, but I can represent France or North Korea so you don’t have to break with tradition. :wink:

I represent the United States of America as a nation…
AxisandAllies.org as a club
And the United States Air Force as a veteran :-) -

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of North Carolina.how so?
does your neighbourhood stretches to both states?
or your house maybe :mrgreen:
there is a few cases, personally know for one man whose garden( yard ) is partially in Bosnia and Herzegovina and partially in Croatia, and he has problems since he is subjected to both country laws :|

I am a native of Pennsylvania. Spent the first 27 years of my life there (excluding military service), and in a lot of ways that is still “home”. But I have been in NC for 11 years and counting…
