• 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.
    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)


  • 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.

    Why not sign up at AAMC? They have a dice server and in case anyone is interested they suport team games. We could post the turns here.

    BTW I’m the one Yanny is in line behind. :wink:

  • '19 Moderator

    Also, AAMC keeps track of you win/loss record and ranks it’s menbers. So… everyone can see that I for one do not win all my games.

  • How do you play at AAMC?
    Do I need the PC game to play there?

  • '19 Moderator

    No, everything you need is available there, and it’s free. All you have to have is an E-mail address. They suport the CD game if you like but they mostly play by Email.

    If anyone would like to try it out, go to the web site and register, then let me know and I’ll walk you through a trial game(you can null games so they don’t effect your win loss record)


  • The game we play will take months I hope

    you guys are willing to play that way. With

    school I will have to limit a game to two

    hours a week. Any problems with that? Get

    back to me.


  • I’m good for a long game, I’ll talk to you via email.

  • '19 Moderator

    Fine by me I already have 3 E-mail games going any way. :grin:
