Yesssssssssss!!! Finallyyyyyyy!!!

I’m lying, but I’ll quote Indiana Jones anyway:

“I’ve been looking for this all my life.”

Great series of videos!

I’ve just posted two videos that review the statistics around very common openers for both Germany and Japan in Axis and Allies Classic (MB 2nd Edition):

Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG55y5vyyqQ&t=101s

Japan (and why you shouldn’t attack that fleet around Hawaii): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ48LJurAhU&t=8s

Punchline: TripleA is the most efficient online platform on which to play Axis and Allies. This allows players to play more games with the added benefit of playing a variety of opponents. More games against different opponents means a far more diverse range of experience which makes the AnA player more lethal in all his future games…including those played face to face.

Check out my latest video in my “In Defense of” series where I argue for the use of calculators in EVERY game of AnA allowed:

Punchline:

Precedents: Most war strategy games (even those more complex than AnA) operate under simpler dice probabilities or have calculators built in (analogized as a ‘general’s staff’) The probability of success/failure in a battle exists whether you chose to know it or not. Not using a calculator is to chose to be ignorant (granted, for the ‘fun’ of the game). Calculators make you a much better player much faster (reasons given in the video).

Just me and a bud. Played 1 turn. Don’t have video. Sorry
