Yeah I have figured that out :), it’s sometimes hard to understand everyones point of view, because nobody likes to write every single thing that everyone is doing on the board.
Axis and Allies is almost chess w/dices. You react to your opponents moves and there are many ways to do it in the beginning, closer to ending the game, your early moves should have propelled to that direction, so you don’t have that many choices left.
Good game and fun. Many choices to do, harder for allies I think than for axis. But Germany is maybe the most difficult country to play, then Russia and after that UK&Japan come side by side…
Back to this point. Do you really by rounds by attacking with the fleet or by sitting in baltic? Best opponent to whom you want to inflict hits is UK pieces and UK is the only one who can with stregth attack your baltic fleet and still it isn’t easy to win for them and leave not badly damaged.
Is 8ipc too big loss for germany to even buy 1-2 more subs on rounds 3-5? Boosting the baltic, this makes UK boost it’s navy or even prevents them from coming to sz6, sometimes the threat of baltic fleet is more powerful than sacrificing the fleet early on for strafe, as Luftwaffe can have better options to attack.
Let’s move the topic onwards, what about the german med fleet? Comments on how you use them on turns 1-4 and do you buy more transports to med? My last game usage as germans for med fleet was this.
-Attack UK destroyer, transports 1inf 1arm to anglo-egypt
2.
-Attack Anglo-egypt if UK retaliated and destroyed the first german wave. Transport 1inf 1art/1arm (moved from france or purchase, but usually 8inf first purchase so have to move 1arm)
3.
-Buy 1trans 1dest
-Fleet stays put and transport 2inf to Libya
4.
-Move to ukraine 4inf
I made my move from 4th turn by taking ukraine with 10+ inf and kept it. 5th turn saw boosting ukraine with lots of more inf and armor and planes, so that it was fortress hex where to move to caucasus or west russia. 6th turn caucasus taken with lots of inf and armor. Japan moved from india armor there and landed fighters. 7th turn end game, moscow taken, might have been 6th turn don’t remember. And if you were wondering what my baltic fleet did, it got attacked by UK on turn 4, but got repelled and 1AC and 2planes survived, UK lost 2trans 2dest 1plane, I rolled very well, from 7 rolls 6hits :lol:
The med fleet is very powerful when you boost the second transport there, when you can bring 4inf to ukraine/caucasus front. But only having BB & 2trans is weak, and this fleet gets attacked by UK planes and USA planes. That is the reason why I move lot’s of USA and UK planes to soviet soil, to destroy the Italian navy, because it’s the game breaker for germans to break through the russians.
