Please declare a casualty,
The first round was an obvious choice, but if you clean me out in this battle, one could argue he would have saved a transport. Unlikely, but I want to make sure, thank you!
-
I didn’t know you could post to the forum in the middle of your turn. I’ll have a look.
-
Max defense (so transport first)
-
Thank you,
I’m glad you’ve discovered the mid-game posting.Now I wonder (because some very experienced and successful Triple A players are unaware) whether you know about the game notes feature in Triple A! I’ll explain a bit more after posting my turn.
And I feel bad, I am exploiting the very bad luck you had, but I’d better or you could make me pay, later. Classic is such a crazy shoot from the hip game compared to the later ones - a reminder that A&A should not be taken too seriously

The dice did deliver you a 33% result in the big air/fleet battle, so I won’t feel QUITE as bad, but the China J1 dice were just devastating.
So if you go to view -> show comment log, you will see that players can enter notes that are kept.
Since I learned last year in my re-entry to Classic about the whole limited units available thing.The_Good_Captain tells me the goal is to implement a feature into TripleA that will track the remaining units (not an issue at all if you’re playing on a board with no missing pieces!) in a year.
Until then, I think game notes is definitely the way to go.
If you buy an AA or IC, enter a comment that updates the count.
This way we can also watch out for bombers and carriers, especially, as well.Watch out, there’s only 1 IC left!

I used to be indignant, years ago, when some would refer (online) to Axis and Allies as a “beer and pretzels game”. Well I don’t remember what version they were referring to, but I see they have a good point if it’s Classic.
It’s great, compared to the much more complicated versions, Classic kind of forces you to just have fun. @The_Good_Captain

I dunno, lose the Russians and British infantry, thanks for asking

@gamerman01 Thanks! I didn’t know the piece limits for generic units apply to ALL powers (while in fact, it’s quite logical although didn’t think about it). This makes it quite interesting, you can buy ICs just to make sure your opponents can’t! 😂

I am glad you posted,
I really didn’t want to ambush you with this but I feel I already kind of have. Well, it’s double elimination…
I am REALLY enjoying this game, I’m so glad the guys got me to play 2 Classic games a year ago. I’m curious what your A&A background is. You definitely have skills and experience.

Furthermore, since we are not sitting together playing with physical pieces (unfortunately), I need to use the comment log to specify what fighters are on what carriers when allied carriers share a zone, which I will do with this US turn…

@VictoryFirst @gamerman01 outside of AA guns and industrial complexes, you can have an infinities amount of any unit type - you just can’t break them into more groups than there are pieces. For example: there are only three bombers available for each power. The USA can have 8 bombers on the board - they just can’t be in more than three groups at any given time. They cannot break into more than three groups to make attacks, etc.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Thank you, I enjoy this game too.
I’ve started playing A&A when I was 12 years old. My mother wanted to buy something from an online shop but the final price was just under the free shipping limit. So she offered me to buy something from that site so that there would be free shipping. I was fond of board games and I also had a growing interest in WW2 so a WW2 board game appealed me. After some searching I found this game called Axis and Allies 1941. Very cheap and it looked cool, so I put it in the shopping cart. After that, I came into contact with the game for the first time and immediately fell love.
At some point I bought Europe and Pacific 1940. I’ve played over a 100 solo games of Global. It was funny as I thought I had an unbeatable Allied strategy. Later I found out the Axis are considered to have a large advantage. I’ve never really played G40 on the forums so I have never figured out if my Allied strategy was actually unbeatable or just my Axis play being flawed (I think the latter one). It has been too long ago so now I don’t know anymore the exact details of the strategy, so I guess we’ll never know.
Joined this site in 2021 but have not played actively until this year. Finished high school last year and am currently taking a gap year so now I’ve lots of time to play.
You definitely have skills and experience.
Ha, I take that as a compliment from someone who is in the top of the G40 League standings! Although I don’t think I have that much experience compared to most people playing here. With the exception of Original Europe (and G40 but that was too long ago), I have never really stacked many games of any version. The_Good_Captain for example has played 50+ games of Anniversary 1941, 100+ games of Classic, 40+ games of 1914, compared to 5, 1 and 8 games for me respectively 😂
