Just reloaded A&A : Need a new CD start up key

You are correct Carolina :-)

I just wonder, why Germany doesn’t have enought control markers in my box to cover Soviet Union with Western Europe?
Is it okay?

@pfc_pander:

… I though you might be able to move your fighter during non-com to the sea zone that the carrier will be built in but wasn’t sure if that’s allowed.

…

1942 2nd edition and/or anniversary

It is allowed in both games.

Imperious Leader is right.  The rules of A&A have evolved over the years, but each game was designed to work with the rules that existed at the time.  You can always experiment with using the new rules on older games, but the result may not be balanced properly.

You probably want to browse around some of the games being played on the site (in the Games topic area).

Your question ahs no short answer, but I think you will see once you start to look around some strategy options for the Axis that are quite effective (this coming from a player with a better win record as the Axis than I have as the Allies)

thnx ncs:  i went to the 2nd site & i downloaded what i had to ( not very computer literate sorry).  so how do i start a game w/ others or join in 1?

First off, i agree with Big Blocky. He’s right. You don’t go very offensively as Russia, but pick up the odd dead zone if it is offered to you. You want a buffer between the German front line and Caucasus if you can get it - if only to slow down the tanks.
Also it is a major pain for the allies to take (and retake) Eastern Europe. Rather than just land troops on West Eu which is a turn for the US - this move requires 2 turns for the US. It also makes boats more vulnerable to German planes. What i mean is that it takes a while to do anything on the mainland outside of west EU. Also i generally leave Manchuria alone. Unless it’s an easy pick with few expected losses, you’re simply spreading out your forces.
If you want to see some good strat as Russia - check out the games section and look in on a game where Darth Maximus or Kobu (both) or Big Blocky are playing, and generally you’ll pick up some good early moves.

There is also a bug called “unit lock” some times when the game gets a high number of units on the board it freezes. You best bet, like TG said is to get the patch then save often.
