Invade the u.k.???

ABW,

When you look at my Karma section below it says Applaud and smite.  So if I said something you like, agreed with or what ever that you found possitive you would press the applaud button and my + Karma would go up 1.  If I pissed you off you could press the smite button and my - Karma would go up one.

They are all anonymous so you never know who to thank or who to smite.

Taking on UK can be done only on a surprise basis–your enemies must have no idea you are planning to go vs. UK until it’s too late for them to do anything about it. Even so, it’s risky…it’s rare that vs. expert players you’d even have a chance. But since you did it once… :wink:

Do as waraxis says and play all-out economic war vs. UK. Take India, take Australia; Germany should deploy heavily in Africa, take as much territory as possible, then attempt to link up w/ Japan through the Suez. You will be in the impossible compromise situation of having to save your FTRs & BMR for the attack, while at the same time keeping Allied ships away from North Sea. This is important as well because if the Allies start loading INF into USSR it will be impossible for you to survive. With a good 1/2->2/3 of the Japanese fleet in the Med, you will buy yourself a little time to build some TRs as Germany–build 'em all in 1 turn! The round of the assault, attack with all available Japanese forces to soften up the UK & take over the North Sea SZ. Then, on Germany’s turn, launch the main invasion.

Since UK is poor anyway, you will not net very many IPCs from plunder, but you have siezed an Allied capital that will be almost as difficult for them to liberate as it was for you to conquer.

Now just conquer USSR and you win! :o

As you can see, this is an extremely difficult maneuver to pull off, and one the Allies have to be practically helping you to do! But who knows? With the element of surprise–and if USA deploys in the Pacific…you never know…

My advice–kill USSR. If you can do that, THEN try to take UK. Or even USA, since they are sometimes easier to kill at that point in the game!

Well… I was never a big fan of invading Span. I rather take Western Europe by overwhelming force or help the Russians out.

AAW is axis and allies world

Hi yall! About that scinario I posted its what you try to play. its like a new way to play the game. A differant objective and stuff. and tell Djensen I spelled it wrong cause I hate english and I dont check my spelling and Anymonous I am 13!
Well off of the lame stuff this is my stratagy. Usually on my 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd turns I power up the U.K. with fighters, Bombers, transports and infantry incase the enemy starts beating me bigtime I use them as a target so I can iflict damage w/ my powerful stuff. And also I buy lots of tanks to do the final touch. Then If I win in noth arfica I build an I.C. and build a big army. Then when I am powerful enough I attack Western Europe w/ my guys from U.K. and Southern europe w/ my guys from North Africa. Then when they are weak the Soviets march in and take Ukraine S.S.R.
and Eastern Europe. If you can see ways I can adjust my stratagy to make it more powerful please leave a comment.

Like japan against russia in normal A&A.
Or Germany against anyone but russia.
:smile:

I agree, as well. It’s just I wonder at the investment: If you’re thinking pure Sea Zone defense, you’d think 3 SUB would be a better investment than 2 FTR: in an attack, the 3 SUBs would score about 1 hit consistently, same as 2 FTRs. But SUBs can defend in Sea Zones (at least against ships), where FTR’s (without a CV) cannot. SUBs are more survivable than FTRs because they have their submerge/withdraw abilities. SUB hits (unlike FTR hits) cannot be countered. And 3 SUBs represent 1 extra casualty you can take should the battle go poorly.

I guess the reason German SUBs never seem to appear in signifigant numbers is the threat of USSR. It’s easy to justify the money spent on FTRs because when you’re not using them to fight sea battles, you can use them against Russia. SUBs are virtually useless against the mainly landlocked USSR and so nobody ever purchases many of them…what a shame.

I AM NOT SAYING ROLL ALL DICE FIRST TURN.
I am just saying that even though there is a risk in buying tech, don’t ignore it!
I usually roll tech when I don’t need an extra tank or inf next turn as Japan, US, or UK. Not all turns, not everything on one turn; one or two dice here and there throught out the course of the game.
