German opening move part 1

When I made my observation I didn’t use the auxilary conditions (tactics and strategy cards) I thought this could sway the game in the same way the NO and Tech do in revised and AA50.

When I first started thinking the game was slanted to the Axis I played the Allies every time vs. players who have never heard of A&A.

I’m not saying I’m god’s gift to the A&A world but since I have been playing for over 10 years I thought I would have a leg up on a newby.

I also made it a point to only play 2 player games.  I thought that since the allies would be able to coordinate better this would also help.

I think a better way to balance the game would be to make it 15 rounds instead of 10.

The best part of A&A D-Day is that it goes by very quickly.  You could probably play a game in under an hour.  Each round goes by faster and faster and events happen.  For example the allied airborne drops are first turn only, allied bombers get shot down, allied fighters get shot down, Axis blockhouses that fire at sea zones get destroyed and lastly reinforcments run out.  By the 10th round you could have removed a half dozen cards out of the deck.

@DarthMaximus:

I can email it to ya if you’re interested.

Nah, don’t worry about it….

What’s Germany doing on the U.S. West Coast? I’ve never seen a game where that could happen, although East Coast is possible, just not easy to hold for long.

If your British ally forgot to buy a carrier, then you have to do it yourself.

but I still think you should go after india first

Any more questions at all? Does anyone wnat to help play test. You need ot have an Instant Messenger system though preferably AOL Instant Messenger but MSN will also do.

Pulling out of Eastern Europe is a deathtrap! But seriously, you’re screwed if you did and screwed if you don’t since you’re know forced to defend two separate territories along with the unbearable 3 IPC loss. But anyways, Western Europe is probably the most feasible and the most advantageous of all the territories to take with USA and UK. But if you can position your transports correctly, you can strikes all German territories at once depending what is the most heavily under-defended.

Yeah, no kidding. plus there are all sorts of misnomers about transports and airplanes.
