I’m also eating my words about 3 turns, I’m deciding I’ll give reviving Japan a go to see if it can be done, I think Germany is ok for now. (Watch me lose Berlin ;) )
Why wouldn’t you just try to win the game and get your 8 cities in Europe, and prove your point? Or do you think you need to revive Japan to do that because it’s going to take many rounds?

It’s going to take as much time as it takes to slow march from Rostov to Egypt I believe. At that point, either London will fall or Egypt will. Japan is going to try to stabilize its front in an effort to draw resources away from Europe. I just did 30 damage to London’s facilities, so he will have to determine what to repair if anything. Garrisoning Egypt and London is going to prove difficult I believe, I suspect his fleet will have to leave in two turns, once he runs out of French blockers. Then the window to attack London will present itself. Basically, you will see the versatility of the bombers when they can strike both locations from where they are based. (I realize he can strike W.Germany with a lot, but if he fails to kill all of my bombers and Britain loses its fleets air cover that should speed my timetable.
Either way, the point I would like to convey is this: I feel like I can be sloppy and inefficient to a degree because of the strength of a bomber strategy and still possibly win. If my first test game looks this bad, it should give you something to consider for when it doesn’t.
Imagine if I played Japan conventionally, and made an effort in Africa with Italy. Can you see an issue? Germany next turn will produce nearly as much as the US (with you might agree minimal help from the other axis beyond Italy’s starting pieces and turn 1 production). Italy’s production is likely to increase in Russia’s Eastern front. Australia is in danger of collapse if Japan sees an opportunity as all of their resources are elsewhere (we’ll see what he does before I decide where to go). London is now feeling the effects of a bombing campaign while I stage for a final assault that can occur at 2 locations. From Novgorod, my Eastern air force is now able to hit the allied navy, and the bomber force will be reunited (please note, I only have 15 bombers this game, I stopped building them early when the fall of Moscow was apparent) I usually have 5 more, and can still produce some once I am confident the Russian task force is large enough to complete its goal. What happens to Germany’s production if I fart around and go after China with Germany? Either way, I do need to reduce India’s production, and I am poised to do that this next turn. (depends on Japan’s land units surviving).
Now granted, there are 3 choices for playing Russia. Conservative retreat to Moscow and hold, Conservative delay factories falling (this game), and aggressive delay German advance. We have tested this against those three already. Now I am using the public to flesh out any tweaks, and to see if a good counter presents itself. We are still working on one as well, but I’m not confident it will work.
I certainly hope you will have time for a game with me Gamerman01 when this game concludes. Remember, my opponent was forewarned about my strategy and my goals which is seldom advisable. His bomber response is going to run into an issue, the Europe landscape favors the axis in terms of landing sites. We have done an all bomber 2 carrier build a year ago and had reassuring results back in an alpha 2 game. But doesn’t that prove my point, the best answer to the Bomber “imbalance” may prove to be “bombers”…Point made.
-
What I have found is this, the bombers greatly speed the implosion of Russia, both defenses (factory hold, or Moscow hold) result in Berlin pausing, producing fodder and then proceeding. We have found few opportunities for Moscow to advance more than 1 space from its Capital because of Italy’s can opening effect and Germany’s fast movers and air power. I can bomb Russia from as far back as Eastern Poland, thus buying the time to build fodder out of the Russian factories while the Russian stack barely grows.
So the bombers increase initial conquest time, but for a limited duration 5-7 turns, at which point conventional tactics resume with Germany’s increased production. Now the allies are in danger of being out produced and out maneuvered. This means Germany can take its time and fart around if needed.
The large bomber force also greatly increases the amount of IPCs that must be “sunk” into building a “conventional” navy’s defense and this necessarily draws away from that navy’s landing power if this approach is used. The bomber is a cheap “naval” piece that can hit land and bomb as well, performing 3 roles that when serially performed lead to the collapse of the allies. The weakness to this plan is that it must be done serially, while I threaten many fronts, at best only 2 per turn can be successfully assaulted. This takes time, but you systematically complete these tasks to the allies demise.
-
And finally, America is not the only nation at this point that can just produce all bombers….So can Berlin. That phase will begin as Rostov’s force approaches its target. Each bomber built will match the USA builds and force UK to defend 2 locations per bomber…
-
Plus Auswanderersland is my version of Khan Noonien Singh. “He tasks me”, “He tasks me”. (sorry for the Star Trek reference)
He thinks I have at best 4 turns with Germany to make something happen, and he thinks Japan is done. So I am trying to see who is right, and which one of us should be labeled “disciple”. Don’t worry, we are old buddies going back 23 years to our high school axis days and teasing each other is necessary. ;)

Because of the interest in the time that Germany has to conquer, I challenged JJ to revive Japan to see if he could hold the line.

As far as playing you, I am mildly interested, but trying to focus my A&A time on league games
I don’t doubt that buying bombers is very effective for Germany, and I wouldn’t enjoy facing them
The large increase in territories over previous versions of A&A makes movement even more valuable than it was before. Also, before Anniversary, bombers cost 15 and now they are only 12, as you have also pointed out. The +2 bombing damage is also nasty. And the tactic of mostly bombers is sneaky because most players are used to not worrying too much about all air because traditionally, all air strikes against ground (and air) forces is a bad trade. Traditionally. When incomes were around 20-30, fighters cost 12, and bombers cost 15. And you could get increased production and produce men for 2 IPC’s each. You know, for those of us who have been playing for 20+ years, the things we learned from Classic still stick with us, I think, and sometimes to our detriment.Now you have 12 IPC bombers that can often fly 7 spaces instead of 6. You have transports that are auto-kill, so you’re not losing 15 IPC bombers to ace rolls, with the defender’s transports sometimes even surviving.
Perhaps you have found an exploit to Larry’s rule changes (I think on multiple occasions our revered game designer has failed to accurately anticipate all the ramifications of his changes - Global 1940 is Exhibit A) and bombers are too cheap.After all, when you play tech there are also 2 technologies that boost their capabilities even further. (Thank goodness Larry finally saw the light and reduced LRA to +1, as I used to house rule it in AA50)
Sorry, this is in a game thread - I’ll quit now.

Looks like I will lose my men in Malaysia, oh well. I figured they would hold against the three mech and anzac air, guess it was not meant to be, I typically keep one unit in a transport as a back up, but I was stretched. 3fighters on 4 troops was going to be tight, but now its yours unless luck changes. Anyway, the Europe board is the focus at this point.
-
Also, is there a way to look up what damage remains?
I know I did 5 damage to the air and naval base and it looks like they were not repaired, it says 16 were repaired, I assume that was all on London’s, meaning 4 damage remain?
This will help me determine how many bombers to send, I am guessing I’ll just match your fighters, and see what lives to bomb….I assume you are willing to scramble in a fair fight. If not, I’ll take the chances on the aaguns and just rehit each base for 1 more damage and send overkill 5 bombers to do 16 damage.
I need to know if the air base was repair, if it wasn’t you won’t be able to scramble, right?
-
If you have the new version of Triple A (I think you guys started this game after that), you can change the color of the damage numbers (but not the size, I don’t think) so it’s easier to see. Choose red or something. View menu.
To see the damage numbers by the IC’s, you need to zoom to 100% and hope that another unit is not covering it up.
I have complained about this to the developer of Triple A multiple times
