Version 1

also, if you are interested, I run a YouTube channel dedicated to the Milton Bradley version. Here is my first video covering some of the lesser known rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_u_mOFTcQA&t=666s

Another way to go is to invade Norway with everything you’ve got its an easy win, then on non-com move 2inf to Karelia and dump your fighters in moscow.  Place 3inf and 3arm in moscow as your purchases and wait for germany to invade Karelia which he will if he wants to win.  R2 counter attack with everything you’ve got, its risky but if done well and with UK’s support with reinforcements for defense Germany will be on the run from that moment on.  Why waste days building stacks of infantry and hope for “two’s” to win the day when the idea should be to attack, attack, attack.  If anything your constant attacks will force Germany to focus more on you and less on UK, which then leaves the UK to invade WE or EU if things go as planned.

Think of it this way, do you want to react to Germany’s moves or do you want him to react to your’s!  What is the worst that can happen…you lose  :-D

@Linkon:

Newbies will commonly separate armor (1 space back) from infantry due to the perception that inf is better on defence.

The reality of the game for veterans is that the biggest stack rules, so the better action is to place both together and everything else you got into the biggest stack you can make.  The armor still has the 2 move reach for rapid deployment on your next turn.

A similar thing happens with bombers and fighters, but not as much.

yes the bigger stack rules but you can always avoid them. depends on whether you’re fighting a war of attrition. japan should realize it’s going to lose (in beginning) most of its land territory because it needs to consolidate–as you allude to–all of its forces on one territory. otherwise they would lose the units AND the territory.

Welcome once again to my Faqs about How to Be… I see my other 2 ( Japan and Germany) were a hit. There is part 1 because this one is about how to beat Germany then one how to beat Japan. So here is the UK. US and USSR will take some time.
The UK has a big advantage on Germany because the UK can to a hard hit on Norway, Germany, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Algeria, and Libia. Also this will increase so much of Income it isnt funny.

Attack Norway. This will help in the long run. Attack Africa. This will stop the advancement of the Afrika Korps big time. This will also have an advantage on Southern Europe. Attack Southern Europe. Then you can start the “pinch” manuver. You have Norway and Southern Europe this will destroy Europe. Attack Western Europe. Read on to see what this will do. Attack Eastern Europe. This will do a 4-way pinch.
Leave Ukraine SSR to Russia. Attack Germany. You now win Germany with the help of Russia.

Go to gamespot.com and check out World At War. It looks like a slightly more complicated AaA.

Currently, Axis & allies, and the expansion, Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz, exist. I prefer to use Iron Blitz as it doesn’t tend to be as slow. Don’t bother trying to buy either game, they are very hard to find. I downloaded A&A off Kazaa, and IB off www.the-underdogs.org.

I noticed tunring off the Newspaper helped me too. Thats really unnessesary and it gets annoying. Also, turning on fast computer cuts down the RAM needed.

right click on the AA icon. go to compatibility mode. switch to 95, 98, etc. whichever works best.

I just started playing Iron blitz and it seems 98 worked on my 500 XP machine.
