L23 BM4 Gamerman (Allies+10) vs Roboto (Axis)


  • A G4 DOW?! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. Cool


  • That’s what I’m talkin’ about. You want 10 units on Berlin and maximum short term threat on Russia, you buy tanks


  • Yeah, I just ran the battle calc on some mixtures, and basically a mix of mech and tanks is the best, for offense. For defense, if you don’t count transport or factory limitations, of course mech is superior every time

    Overall my Axis game is a lot weaker than my Allies game.

    Withing the Axis game, Japan usually is by far my strongest. In most of my games, Italy is doing okay too (considering it’s Italy…).

    But my biggest weakness is conquering Russia. I somehow never manage to do it. That’s why I tried to go almost all-in on land units this game.

    I really appreciate the dialogue.
    I have only taken the Axis 4 times since February 2016! 1 of them is in progress. 2-1 on the others, the 1 I lost was largely because I lost way too many planes on G1. Oysteilo gave a couple back and it still wasn’t enough.
    I only take Axis against weaker players so I can learn them while still winning.
    Don’t tell anybody.
    Russia and India got big buffs in BM. I like that they don’t get steamrolled, but they might have received just a little too much in NO’s.


  • Too bad I don’t keep stats on Axis v Allies like I used to (for all players). Maybe the Axis should be getting the bid???!!!

  • I loathe buying a complex with the UK, but I had 13 and not any other good buying options. Hopefully I can keep the great gray machine from penetrating right through and taking control of it.

    I don’t like how it will keep me from buying at least 9 IPC’s of units in London from now on, but obviously the location is fantastic if you don’t lose it.


  • I also almost never buy anything for Egypt. It’s fun to play a veteran who I’ve never played before.
