Srategic to take Moscow in Axis and Allies Europe (1999)

Those are some good supplemental advantages there. i have to admit that has me thinking about employing some of those in my next game and thinking up some for AAP as well.

@Aretaku:

I’m also thinking that an easy way to leave the British Bonus Infantry rule alone while keeping the game balanced would be to connect Iran to India, and allow for amphib assaults of Egypt via the Red Sea. That way Japan actually has the option of entering the theatre without having to go all the way around the freaking world.  :-P

Yes, connecting the Red Sea interboard space to Egypt and India to Iran makes sense.

@Gewehr:

I love europe advanced. I created a NATO vs USSR version out of this map and it was real interesting. Also I made a D-Day and 1942 version from it too. Now that I think about it, I should make a 1939 one!

Few questions about this: The Sahara province, can it be used, or what? Also whats the C planes? Are they like the patrols in AAP? Does anyone have an official rules for this, or is it perty much played out like the other AAE?

If you add a 1939 version, you would need to think about whether you are adding Poland or just France, in which case 1940 would be more appropriate.

As for the Sahare, that should be viewed as impassable, which is what it is, even today.  I am not sure what you mean about “C Planes”.  As for the rules, they are on the website along with the map, and are to be used in combination with the official out-of-box rules.

thanks for the answer.

LOL… nice

Partisan Resistance
When the Wehrmacht rolled into the Soviet Union in World War II, it got more than it bargained for. Soviet citizens fought fiercely against German occupiers, engaging in raids, sabotage, and intelligence gathering.
You may end the battle after first round of combat when you attack, and stay in the same territory as the enemy. These units are locked in combat and can not move out of this territory before the opposing force is destroyed.

This last NA would let a minor Russian infantry-corps attack a larger German panzer army, and if some russians survive, they can stay in this territory and lock the panzer-army in combat. There are historical reasons to back this rule up. Since most Russian territories had forests, swamps, mud, dirt-roads only, and a long cold winter, it was easy to bug down the German advance. Russian units would hide in the forest, let the German panzers through, and then close the gap and do ambush-attacks. Also the russian winter would kill more germans than the bullets. Half of the attackers would freeze to death, or be sick from frostbites and cold desies, just like Napoleons Grande Armee 100 years earlyer.

Do you think this is a better NA than Rasputista or should I replace it with any other NA of Russia?

Rasputista
With heavy rains the landscape changed in a blurry mess of mud where vehicles and men got stuck and were unable to advance.
Once during the game in your collect income phase, you can declare a Rasputista. Until the start of your next turn, no combat movement for land units is allowed in any red territory.

Europe is a smaller scaled land based game. Lots of small provinces. Pacific’s scale is considerably bigger and deals primarily with naval and air power.

I personally enjoy Pacific a lot. It has more strategy than Europe in my opinion. Both are great though.

that is the worst strategy i’ve ever seen
russia will be dead and gone by about turn four if the us buys 11 infantry on it’s first turn
