Unit differences from AA Revised

Play the game over at gleemax. Its free and you wont have to figure out too much because the program does everything for you except buy, move and place new units.

Ah thank you very much.  I know it may have been a dumb question, but it helps my strategies.  “it is better to be a fool that is right, than to be a wise man that is wrong”, some guy who makes oxymorons.

I finaly went back to the store. They offered to exchange the box but first they opened the new one to check if it was ok.
That one was also missing pieces. They opened an other one, same thing. I guess all the ones they had were like that.

They offered to reimburse me but I asked if it would be ok if I kept the pieces from 2 box and they agreed !  :-D

go to xenogames.com, the pieces are not that great looking, but they will do, they do not come with artillery, but they do have color coded AA guns which can be substitued for artillery, and they come with guns. the pieces come on a ‘‘tree’’ with i think, 8 infantry, 3 tanks, 3 ftrs, 2 bombers?, 3 BB, 2 Carriers, 6 destroyers, 2 factorys, 3 subs, and 1 sub pen. sorry if im not correct on the figures

I never bother to calculate odds during a game, I like to keep my game smooth and the rounds fairly quick. I’m not sure about the statistics, but it seems to me that when I buy about even stacks of infantry and artillery (any extra cash going towards infantry) about every other round, creating hard hitting forces that outnumber the russians defenders. On the even round I like to build 5 or 6 tanks with infantry to catch up to the infantry and artillery from the previous turn. This provides me with a very tough offensive force with plenty of defensive power for holding territories. I don’t know if this stands up to more advanced strats, but it seems to work well for me, if I make the right opening moves; but then again, everything depends on the opening moves.

some people say that its good for the allies to invade france w/ 1 tank and bombard the coast w/ 7 destroyers and kill tons of german infantry. the germans are stupid to do this; leave 1 infantry in belgium and 1 in france, and leave all the rest in eastern france, as not to be bombarded. counterattack what they put into either france or holland with as little as possible, preferably using some fighters with your infantry to pack a punch

@Anonymous:

also to note, if you attack a territory and win, u may NOT move there on non-combat. remember, all combat, non-combat, unit development, and the rest occur at the same time. so u cant land a plane in a place where there is a battle taking place.

for some reason i thought this was only true for aircraft (i.e. runways take a turn to build . . . ).

Well with Germany, I wold go with Subs.
For USA/UK probably a destroyer or battleship.
But really, this all depends on what’s on the board. If there’s a of air power on the other side, then chances are I won’t build subs. If I already have a small navy (say a convoy of transports), I would probably go with a BB. And if I know the other side is using subs, then I probably buy destroyers. It all depends on how you look at it.
