Need help with files

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

I bought a game called Europe at War by Xeno years ago. I wonder if its the same. I remember it wasn’t very good and the only thing it really had in common with A&A was the pieces.

Follow the instructions on the order cards.  They tell you all you need to know.

This is because version 1.3.3 is not compatible with directx versions above 8.1.

I’d say your copy of the program is completely jacked. First of all, an ally cannot take control of a friendly nations capital. If said nations capital is occupied by enemy forces then the ally can take control of territories that were formerly that nation’s, but once the capital is liberated then that country is back in the game. Under no circumstances can a friendly nation take control of an ally’s capital. In the situation you are refering to the British would lose no money becuase Japan retook Moscow.

i dont know what your talkin about. i played as allies vs my friend who is very experienced and i won (wasnt easy tho)

u need to employ tactics man.

for example i made a raiding force, and built up like 6 bombers, and a strong navy, beat the japs out of phillipines and then built a factory there (dont worry if they did take it its not very useful to build there) and i kept strat bombing them (6 moves to japan and back to phillipines) and sending troops to sumatra, borneo, and the rest, until u have a decent invasion force, then its cake

jap player only got to 40 for one round in my game. be a coward in china, hold all your troops up in schechwan since rest of china is worthless and u cant attack to get korea or manchuria. build a good force of arty and infantry in india, hold back britains navy until its strong enough to severely damage the jap navy. use combat air patrols to protect your boats. watch for the strategically significant naval bases and airfields.

keep in mind tho no strategy is 100% in axis and allies. its like chess… on steroids… with luck involved!

Ahhh give him/her a break. It’s only their first time playing. I remember my first game (I was UK) where my first purchase phase consisted of 1 Battleship and saving the rest of the IPCs for… another next turn Battleship!! Then I built an IC in Iran. This was before I learned about the limited IC producing based on territorial IPC value.

Quintopia, I suggest that you build tanks and infantry at a 3 to 1 ratio. Oh, and build a fighter each other turn if you can.

If you want the carrier in the battle, move it now. If not, don’t move it now. If you want the carrier to end it’s non-combat movement in that space, your fighters will have to clear it of enemy units first…
