Movies to watch while playing AA

Thanks for clearing that up Krieghund, you saved a huge debate!

Why not ALPHA +1 for AA50 ? Japan is very strong and NOs needs change…

Woo hoo!

Finally got one right (before Krieghund!!!).

i was going to make a similar russian national advantage for A&A 50 for russia

Scorched Earth:
The Russian player may decide to, in combonation with normal defense, assign units to scorch earth. The defending units roll to hit normaly, at their attack value instead of defense, allocating hits against the territory itself. For each successful hit reduce the IPC value of the territory by 1 during the next collect income phase.

Example, germany attacks Ukrane with 6 tanks, there are only three defending russian infantry, they stand little chance, so two are assigned to scorch earth……the other defends normaly. They roll a 2 for defense and a 1 and a 5 for scorched earth. The germans lose a tank, and during their collect income phase the Germans only get one for Ukrane instead of two

Crazy idea…but interesting

where’s ‘out here’?

We play with four,
hoping to add another.  We also speed up the game by going all Axis then all Allies.  We are going to add timers, to keep the game moving, we include a 6.5 hour time limit on our games, with pizza and beer, or in my case a shot of whiskey can not be with held.

Axis, for the simple reason I like being evil.

Okay maybe not for that single reason.  Here are a few others.

1.  I love being the underdogs.  Always.  Whenever one side gets snubbed, or is at a gross advantage, that’s the side I’m going to pick.  People love lovable losers.  Me, I love lovable winners.

2.  It’s a chance to rewrite history.  We all know how fascinating alternate history theories can be.

3.  By nature I’m a proactive person.  I don’t like reacting to other people’s decisions.  Unless you’re the lead sled dog, the view from the front doesn’t change.  And I always enjoyed the view.

4.  Control Markers.  I love placing them on the board.  It’s not acceptable if the game ends and my control markers haven’t littered the world.  What can I say; I’m an expansionist.  That’s how I gauge progress.

5.  Initiative.  To me the Axis are who you should choose if you’re adventurous and believe bold strokes should determine the outcome of a war.  None of that attrition garbage, I fight wars of annihilation and total envelopment.

6.  I love seeing the Allied players whine and carry that doggy bowl expression on their face as they brace themselves for inevitable Axis tsunami.  It’s gorgeous.

7.  Did I say I like being evil?  The Axis should have won WWII and I’m out there to prove it.

8.  The Axis have the best toys.  Look at what units they start out with.  Seriously, does anyone want to be Russia in 1941?

9.  The pressure.  Having only two nations (sorry Italy), there’s so much more load to bear on the Axis’s shoulders.  Make one mistake and your side is toast.  I thrive under pressure.

10.  Hitler made me do it.

@U-505:

Actually, I am the first and only person ever in the history of the game to CHOOSE not to kill the Chinese fighter. Don’t try to deny me. I have proof. :-D

And for the record, what exactly do the designers have against the Flying Tigers that they would put them in such a threatened position in every game they make?

Welcome to the “I-don’t-destroy-the-chinese-figther-in-game-turn-1-club”.

This figther is no risk cause it can’t leave china.
