@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?

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

First, go to hasbro’s web site and print a copy of the rules.
Then work on your grammer and spelling. I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t spell very well and my grammer is far from perfect, however if you want to ask a question the people who read it have to be able to understand.

I agree I really can’t suggest any advice
if I can’t understand what you are saying.
