@Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)
Can allies win?

I would like to know who in the wide, wide world of A&A players would let their opponent amass that many troops. 250 infantry!! 60 tanks!! There’s no way that would be going on in any game of mine.

I put some on some other topics on the forum.
With Russia I usually buy eight Inf first
round. Then I set a trap for the axis player.
With Germany it all depends on the allied
player. Not just what Russia does but why
he does what he did with Russia and how
might the other allied units be involved in
the plan. I might plan a long war if I have
confidence in my opponent or I may have
already found your weakness. Judging by
the intelligence on this forum I would
consider most of you guys upper level
competition. Regardless of the level I
presume I never overlook my opponent or
underestimate him. I figure when I set up
a game with one of you it will take some time
so let me know who wants to set up a game
and we can attempt to set a game up.
We have to be realistic about the time a game
takes and it might be better to play on a
weekend but that depends on the other person.

That is combined units Axis and Allies

Is it just me or did you just post a message that didn’t say a dang thing. I realize that it all depends on things but try to be a bit more exact like:
5 inf to EE, buy tranny first, ect …
Hell in that case I could just say the key to winning the game is to do something good and when the other player makes a bad move be sure to do a second good move bla bla bla but I think we all got that same plan. What I am looking for are some details.

I guess my plans are to complicated to write
an email about. I would have to write a
paper. So ask me a specific question and I
will give you an answer.

Where do you buy and use ICs?(all sides)
DO you ever buy AA guns?(all sides)
Do you ever buy tech rolls?(if so, when/who andwhy/why not?)(all sides) -
From one Anon to another….
It appears to me…Anon…or King Tiger, sorry…that you should cut your losses on this conversation as I don’t think there is anything you can say that will change the minds of the readers on this forum which is, I believe, to say that you sounded awefully arrogant in your initial post.
Perhaps you are a skilled tactician / A&A gamer and have had much success. If it were me though, I would NEVER have said, “I have never lost” …even if it was true. It’s been my experience in life that nobody likes hangin out with a “know it all”.
Now, if you were to play me, you would win as I…ahem…usually lose, which is why I like to read some of the comments on the forum. Sometimes bad decisions…sometimes bad luck…sometimes a combination of the two.
I would think that putting ones money where ones mouth is would be in order here. Perhaps if you beat, and beat, and beat some of the players on this forum, you MIGHT restore some of the credibility that you instantly lost in your initial commentary. I still don’t think that the “I have never lost” comment would fly though.
Good luck in making new friends on the forum…which you seem to have a handle on already.

Mylo
P.S. One thing that just occured to me, if I NEVER lost, I would quickly become bored and would have moved on to a more challenging game…WAY before 8 years. Do you ever get bored of playing A&A ??
-
I like his idea. I challenge you to a game!
-
I enjoy reading the forums for information about A&A and to hope and learn new ideas from other players, and/or help others on some advice that may help them in the game. But it gets silly to read some players’ boosting their ego about how of an “invincible player” they are and not writing in anything useful. Except to challenge and demeaner everyone’s expertise, and skill of the game. There are good players and not so good players, lets help each other instead of everybody “flexing their muscle” at one another.
Can’t everybody just get along?? -

So here they are, some questions. Now please write me a paper or three.

DO you ever buy AA guns?(all sides)
Do you ever buy tech rolls?(if so, when/who andwhy/why not?)(all sides) -
Okay,
First off I really didn’t plan on using my
first response to boost my ego. My thought
was that maybe if you learned something so
well it could be that successful for you in
life. What I mean is could understanding the
limits of this game give insight to being as
good as possible. It is something that we
all strive for in life (getting good). So
that is why I play the game. It might help
to know who I am talking to though.
Getting to the AA guns and the other issues
I usually only purchase AA guns with Russia
or Japan. As far as industrial complexes go
I never buy them. I think they can make a
player loose command and control. Tech rolls
are also not a good idea. The reason I don’t
do any of these is because you increase your
odds of lossing. To be a solid player in this
game you must be able to read tempo, and
be able to fight any style, pace, or obstacle
an opponent may be able to come up with.
As noted before I suggested that many players
on this site have made good progress by
suggesting to other players that the allies
should go all out Germany. One flaw with this
strategy…… You commit yourself to one
style of play. That style of play is FAST
Paced. You are simply trying to overwhelm
your opponent. Lets look at the supper bowl
for example. The rams were fast paced, high
octane and whipped people. They almost
appeared unbeatable. Then they played a team
that adapted it’s style. The patriots did
the unexpected they used 7 defensive backs
instead of the standard 3 or 4. So what I am
trying to say is think outside the box. There
are many ways to win a game but what is the
most universal? What is the most successful?
Yes I can be beaten but I use all of the
elements that are present in the game. That
is why I have success.
-
Wow, that was a lot of posts! but dont worry, Yanny has come to the Rescue! Next time you do that, please delete all of the words, makes it easier for the moderator to delete the post.
And btw, I had the patriots + 14 :smile:
Also, can you please not type in double lines like you do? It gets kinda annoying after awhile.
So, when is our game!
-
Exactly, anyone can beat seemingly unbeatable stratagies by changing the way they play. There is always more than one option in this game, one just needs to find the approch which his opponent has not thought of or deemed improbable.

Yanny,
What is your email?
Sorry but you will have to get in line I have
a few people knocking on the door. I
promissed one guy on this forum and a few
others first. I would like to get input on
some rules that you and everyone else would
like to play by. I couldn’t tell you when we
could set a game up college takes up most of
my time and work. OOps I typed double space
again I am use to it in school. Well just
send me the email you want me to contact you
thru.
-
Theres a link to my email, most everyone’s email, below their post.
Yanbun100@Hotmail.com if you were having trouble with this link. And I’d love to hear any special rules you play by. School also takes up a lot of my time, and I have loaned my computer game Cd, so how about playing by email?
Anyone here wanna game master us? You would perform all the rolls and such.

ill gamemaster, but im not sure what it means
-
I’ll game master if Mr. Ghoul can’t
-
Game master means we send you what we’re doing for the turn, you roll the dice and make sure everything is in order. Btw, this is for a game by email.
-
What does everyone else think about this
game master? Why do we need a third party?
-
This is all refering to a game by email and not using the computer game.
