Frood, how do I miss you? Where's your calculator?!!!

Oh, I understand now. They couldn’t have even made the combat move. D’oh.

Kick ass. Thanks Krieghund.

Now only to do some math…I just spotted 3 bombers and 2 fighters within range aswell for the americans…Ouch

@General:

In every game of axis and allies AA I have played… Subs havebeen useless.  Nobody has ever bought any subs.  Destroyers are so esily obtained and massed with a fleet they provide cover from subs.  Germany was famed for its “wolfpack” but in AA germany doesnt even get to build a fleet unless the allies are losing hard.

Can anyone advocate the use of subs for any power in the game?

I can’t.

Sorry if I repeat someone but here goes:

Point of Submarines:

If you build a significant number of them before the enemy, and the enemy cannot keep up with destroyers, you can have a cheaper win.

Odds of Success:

Minimal at best.  Your opponent would have to be pretty dense to let you amass a huge fleet of submarines without having at least 50% that number in defensive destroyers/bonus hits on battleships to soak them.

Realistic Outcome:

Either no one has submarines, or everyone has submarines and no one has a surface fleet.  It just seems that’s where things pan out.  This is awesome since no one can really win the game without surface ships since both sides have an island capitol.

Just finished reading the rules to AA50 last night. Does anyone know why escort and cap were not included/considered in this version?

Second, jet fighters…. why should the attack factor be increased when their speed made them more difficult to shoot down?

Wow, demo, something like that is usually pretty much a game-ender, that’s for sure.

What devastation!  Thanks for sharing.

Cool program!  I’ll try it out the next time I’m with friends.

In classic, while playing the Axis I got three out of 3 hits with my AA gun on American bombers doing an SBR.  thats 216 to 1.  Pretty darn lucky.

@Driel310:

Start with playing with both. If you never play with tech you won’t know what it does to the game and I don’t believe you have a right to give an opinion on tech.

However when you played a few games and don’t like it, then throw tech away. NO’s are must IMHO since the axis won’t stand a chance without them.  :wink:

Totally agreed. You can mod HB if it’s too powerful anyway
