Getting the money when taking a capital is as old as A&A itself, so what, about 35 years?
Never a good reason if it’s the only reason.
We need an allied playbook.

@crockett36 I like the out of box thinking. Are you going to detail what the other Russian ventures are? I mean, we can take some good guesses…
-
Scandinavia! China, the Balkans through Turkey are my ideas.

does anyone have recommendations for screen recording software? mobizen is great for android. I’m looking for windows.

read a sticky about the Japan playbook and incidentally he said send Bombers to Moscow immediately.

Latest efforts at the playbook is to not worry about the allied income but knock the axis income down by strat bombing and convoying the axis income. By the way has anyone got America to 85 and how?

In BM USA can get over 100. OOB, you might require The Philippines and a couple of money islands. Harder to do it in Europe.

The reactivation of France feels like the worst thing that can happen. It would make the Western front worth it economically. Alas, we play the game that is, not the game that we wish.
Since math says the Philippines is turn 6 plus at the earliest, I’m going to stick with strat bombing the capitals.

@simon33 South America and Spain would get America real close…

@weddingsinger TRULPIN, DONT READ I keep hearing the refrain "against experienced players Russia will fall. against experienced players Bombay will fall. So I ask myself, what could Russia do really well and neither Jap nor Ger could stop. My answer right now is Scandinavia, China and keeping the Krauts distracted. It could devastate the Japanese efforts there and continue the flow of “free troops” into the region. I am combining that with US strat bombing of both capitals and convoying the Italians with the starter fleet, British Med/Middle East dominance. The allies might have game, so to speak. My purchases for the Brits and Americans have been carriers, bombers and fighters and 1 mech and 1 tank/turn for S.Africa.
-
lol. I love it.
I’ve been considering a few things like U.S. bombers in India taking down random Japanese soldiers who are solo in China (Balanced mod)
I will say that mechanized Russia works well against Germany if they do make a mistake about doing anything other than going after Russia. I’ll still working out the right mix of units, though.
-
@weddingsinger yeah, I did a huge air raid on Egypt and cleared the field for the Italians. On the other side, I’ve used planes from carriers off of w ger to hit the n Italian troops thus taking away the take back troops that rob the allies of keeping france.
-
The key is that the raid only last one round, kill them all and go home.
-
I am approaching the argumentum ad absurdum strategy atomistically. so the good news is that Scandinavia as a bomber and fighter base is awesome. it also depressed the enemy income via ipc loss and bombing raids. in this case, I purchased mostly fighters for England. this prevented the establishing of a german navy.
I did this in conjunction with an Italy crush. America makes a good deal of cash. the axis income is greatly effected.
-
@weddingsinger love mechanized Russia!
-
@crockett36 For those watching at home, Russia helping the Chinese stay alive did not help either of them. A few troops, maybe a tank and a mech, but nothing substantial should be sent -unless they do Sealion.
-
@crockett36 Agree. If you get 4-5 infantry bid you can do the Yunnan stack. But its difficult to advance the stack in the face of so many japanese planes–China survives but it doesnt thrive.
And, if you spent the bid on that, you cant spend it on the fighter + sub for UK to mess with the opener on that board. With the fighter in scotland, the Germans lose the BB. The sub in the med puts the taranto odds over the top and more UK stuff survives such that Italy loses most of its best pieces on the first turn. 2-3 subs in the med and it just gets goofy.
I do drop a few troops from the russians walking home among the last chinese troops holding out. Eventually, its a lost cause and China’s income is 2-3. Except in BM.
-
In one video, I proposed a negative bid: the loss of units. Japanese planes specifically.
-
@crockett36 Sure, splotch 1 SB and the 1 TB that can reach Yunnan on turn 1. I’m in.
-
@crockett36 It just doesnt affect the collapse of Russia very much.

AetV just wiped the floor with me with a KJF. I hadn’t played axis in a while.
