Game Length

I disagree with your analysis–from what it sounds like, UK1 was played quite well.  Ignoring Japan for a few rounds is not a problem.  As far as I can tell, the main factors contributing to Allied loss were
—not contesting Africa (big one!)
—losing the British fleet (carelessness + your luck)
—Panicking on the USA west coast–your landing in Canada could have been handled easily

Sounds like there was solid Russian play all the way through, and mostly sound Allied play, but with the aforementioned oversights.  If he had shut you out of Africa and not had to rebuild the USA fleet, I’ll bet Germany would have been about ready to collapse by the time Moscow fell.  Generally the Allies can win if Berlin falls even a round or two after Moscow.  I don’t think the idea of letting Japan go for a while and going full bore against Germany is wrong as a big picture approach, it just sounds like a couple of the details were botched.

hi,

if you are still interested i am willing to introduce you to triplea lobby play in real time?

You must land at least 1 unit to a land territory from a transport in the same sea zone as the Battleship in order to fire the single bombard attack.

Wow!
Were bombers flying around the world?
I’d love to play a game like that.

@icemanjsg:

doubt that i live in littlehampton, i would say the 80% of the people who live in this town fought in the first world war , thats right folks the FIRST one!

Well, you can’t just leave it at that. What’s the rest of the story?

Is it more popular to play with 5 players or just have one person be the axis and one the allies.  At the end of the game once one side is completely destroyed, do you play world domination.  My friends and I on Saturdays when we have hours to sit and play continue the game once one side is destroyed and play every man for himself, it definitely makes the game more interesting while you are mopping up the decimated side.

Yeah I was really confused too when I bought my copy of A&A revised because I didn’t see “revised” on the cover. You can tell it’s revised because it says “new destroyer and artillery pieces!” and it just says axis and allies, not some other variant like pacific/europe.

We never play with victory cities. If Moscow or Berlin are captured, we can see the way it goes, and then the part who has lost a capital city give up.
