Favorite Power?

Usually I like the US because they are safe from invasion, but the decisions you make will likely decide how the allies fare as a whole.  Plus, it’s great to see the face of the axis players as you start to invade southern Europe from Africa and the UK all the while building bombers to decimate the Japanese navy.  $80+ a turn is pretty awesome.

I voted ANZAC because I’ve found them to be FAR more useful in Global than in Pacific 1940.  They can do some pretty neat stuff, particularly if you can keep both of their NO’s open.  In the few games I’ve played, I’ve seen ANZAC tearing apart the Japanese Navy with packs of subs, SBRing a Japanese IC in occupied FIC, and island-hopping with the best of them.  I love how that little power can be such a pain in the @$$.  It feels like the US’s little brother in that theatre, and it certainly makes Big Brother proud.  :-P  Oh, wait…

While the UK gets the most action in both theaters, the Russians play a pivotal role in the early game.  Make a careless blunder or two, and the Axis could potentially stomp you.  I voted the U.S. though, as one person stated, because you almost dictate Allied strategy once you’re in the war.  UK Atlantic needs a covering fleet for its transports?  Africa needs liberating?  IJN looks too menacing anywhere in the Pacific?  The Americans can dedicate resources to all of the above.

Hi guys.  I am new here.  I have been playing A and A for nearly 15 years now and I just got the global game yesterday.  Can’t wait to play the global game with my 2 buddies.

I have always enjoyed playing UK the most, regardless of edition.  I really enjoy the strategic use of transports and the importance of heavy navy and limited North African land units.  UK always has many options and is always involved.

Welcome SR. Glad to see you have joined.

Always in the middle of the brawl, the German player can give punishing blows to the three major Allied powers and help Italy also.

More like Germany absorbs punishing blows from the 3 major Allies, but Italy helps Germany like a twisted little henchman.

I voted for China, the poor under-represneted under dog. I always vote for China, because, like Italy and ANZAC, they are needed to do certian thing correctly, that if they fail to do, may be disastrious for their allies. I also love to play as them when im teaching newbies how to play, that way they’re not under the gun of an veteran player

I love playing Japan, their thriving expansion is one of the hardest things to balance properly but if done effectively you will rival even the massive arsenal of democracy (USA) and take Asia for the Asians! (minus the Chinese of course)
