A&A Europe 1940 Game through build phase of R8 (pics)

@Koningstiger:

Land three American transports loaded with 3x infantry and 3x tanks in Africa and along with the assistance of the Brits and some token French forces, the Axis will never ever control all of Africa! An Allied player that allows this is defeinitely doing something wrong! ( I agree that Africa is a relative sideshow, but you simply cannot allow the Axis to take ALL the African IPCs!)

The Us can send three tanks to Brazil and pick up the three men there.

@RedHunter:

I have a hard time beliving that America can’t simply buy enough stuff to overpower German defenses in Europe. The issue is getting there because Germany should have a decent fleet contesting landings. The allied players were either 1. Playing stupidly repeatly or 2. Rolling really badly.  The allied should win 95% of the games all things being equal. This game is still heavly weighted in the favor of the allies.

95%? Okay, why not play me online? I’ll be axis

I don’t play online sorry. If they had a computer version with current rules and I had 5-8 hours to sit in front of a computer and play I would think about it.

Also the game is weighted in favor of the allies because the allies won world war 2.

They have a computer map where you can move units and you don’t have to sit at a computer 5-8 hrs a day. If you like, you can make just 1 move per day.

They deliberately make the game so the axis have more advantages than they did historically. That’s why the entire RN in the North Atlantic can be killed G1.

BTW, you should look into anniversary edition. Most agree that OOB, it is slanted toward the axis

Link me to the map and I will play you assuming that I don’t have to download anything.

Also look at how things are set up. Russia can’t attack till R4, America doesn’t go to war till U3…its meant to roughly(in a bad way) have a few turns be a year of real time. And had Germany done things differently they likely could have killed the RN in the North Atlantic. Remember that these figures don’t repersent single units but instead groups of units.

Well, unless you can use a real board, you do have to download ABattlemap. It’s like a virtual game board and it saves your games, tracks ipcs.

BTW, to save time, do you mind just playing Europe instead of Global?

Yes. I haven’t played Global yet. Give me the links and I will start playing you tomorrow when I am more awake. Please PM me all the info I will need to know to start playing you. Its midnight here now and I need to get some sleep.

Wouldn’t you have to unload at least one of the tanks to claim the infantry? That would then also mean that transports’s move is over since you unloaded. You wouldn’t be able to move that transport again until your next turn. Apart from that that’s a good points. I also go to Africa via Brazil. Again, an Allied player that allows the Axis to completely conquer Africa is doing sth wrong…
