Axis & Allies 1941 First Preview

@leebear

Yeah, well, there’s nothing rose in terms of accuracy. I’m waiting on people’s responses on the accuracy of War Room and Global War before thinking about purchasing them.

@l8MikeBl8:

I’m very new to the game axis and allies. Just bought it and want to play it. There is alot to the game and i have no friends that know nothing about this game, So i have no choice but to turn to the internet.

I was told this game is like risk on massive crack. So in risk you can attack anyone and negotiate secretly with people to win the game.

So can I for example, play as the Americans and attack the British, after a certain amount of time? and negotiate with the Germans?

How do you win? is it complete domination or do the allied or axis powers have to win together by taking axis land? Is their a choice to play global domination?

Thank you in advance.

Reading the rules will help you immensely!

Oh my, there’s some Necromancy going on here… this is a very old post… any issues I brought up here were resolved over a year ago.

Glad to have helped. Hope you love the game as much as I do …. :-D

I’m pretty sure it’s allies biased

All three games I played, there was trouble with the US going into the Pacific by the whomever was playing US just gave up and went to Europe.

If Japan goes all in on the Hawaii sea zone, the boats on the coast of W. USA are hosed the next turn. Even with an an aircraft carrier and fighter, they can’t win. Not only that, the US fleet can’t even run away! What the US does depends on how Japan plays and Japan can decide to keep the US out of the Pacific for 2 turns which in an eternity in this game.

Yeah, they could go blockade the states, but from where I’m sitting, as long as the US player plays it right then it’s the death of Japan. On US1, with a Japanese fleet of pressumably 1 BB, 1 CV with at least 1 fighter left and a transport in Hawaii (I think moving the british sub up to Hawaii on their turn is a good idea, maybe get a pot shot off and sink the BB or something with their ability, which even further reduces this fleet) you can hit that with 3 fighters, a bomber and a sub (if you really want you could try to retake the island and thus stop japan from bringing in that bomber on J2, but that seems to risky). Even if you fail to win, that attack has probably crippled the Fleet there, and when Japan comes a knocking with the rest of their fleet…so what? They take some more casualites and the entire pacific is wide open to a British navy with the ability to plop down a constant stream of units in two seperate locations close to home, and America will eventually sink that fleet sitting in San franciso Harbor.

Japan has to rely on some super lucky die rolls in those high stake naval battles, and maybe taking India or Australia early. But most likely, like their Russian enemy, they are in fact just screwed, ment to balance out the Russians being screwed…and I will have a blast leading every Banzai charge :). Man, I really need to get my hands on this game.

who would send entire ��� fleet to hawaii? it can get trashed there… i think 2 figs and bomber are better option. then you can use transport to save whatver you can from mainland (southeast asia, china, manchuria, whatever got attacked or needs attacking).

Oh yes I agree. The Japan player would be much better of simply stalling the allies with fighters in the Pacific, and using it’s naval edge to take out India and Australia as soon as possible. Being me I will of course invade Alaska, but that’s only just for fun.

Here’s a link to all of the photos of the game that I’ve taken except for a couple, which I’ll add soon. You’ve all of these already, but here they are all in one place.

If you’re lucky, I sometimes post the photos on Flikr before I post to the blog. This is especially true of the photos I take with my iPhone.
