I have the milton bradley edition. Do you play that or hasbro version. Dont have this type is it the same or different and how?Is it better or not? What type is more popular? :-? “Never surrender” “Let the panzers pass by then engage the infantry!” 8)

Well as Britain I bomb Germany constantly to lower their IPCs.
But I see what you mean, whichever game I play like this Germany gets really strong, but once Japan falls, America and Britain have it in the bag.

@Yanny:

Heres how I would do it.

Russia: Buy 3 Tanks 3 Fighters

I think he meant 3 arm & 3 inf(24 IPCs as compared to his 41 IPCs purchase above.)

He just got a lil excited.
He’s an A&A Addict, y’know! :P

But that’s 8)

Russia’s role is containing the Japanese on the ground… and if the Japanese player knows what it’s doing, E. Russia should be encircled by now. I say let the Americans handle the sea.

@Anonymous:

That is my fault the Germany fleet is built in the Mediterran.

I have recently used this strategy without Russia Restricted and it doesn’t work. Does any body know how I can change it so that it will.

delay your Japan moves by a turn. I.E. J1 purchase your trn and inf, start the japanese push, and then for J2, play it as you might have played J1.
not tried, just seemed logical.

Yeah, I would suggest taking Hawaii, Alaska, and maybe even WUSA (i’ve seen this happen). Disruption tactics are a must when dealing with USA in order to help in a Germans. What you want to do is frighten the USA in at least keeping a garrison in their home country. This gives Germans more time to prepare for a possible WE invasion. If USA doesn’t fall for the bait, then congrats, you now have a steady source of income. :)

Ha, in A&A, I took over Russia with Germany on the second turn! Ending up EV winning on the 4th, since the Japanese (AI controlled) player couldn’t figure how to attack on the first turn.
