Hi, my name is Constanze and i am from Germany (please excuse my mistakes).

For my specialist work at school, I am investigating the question of whether parlour games can convey history using the example of A&A Europe.

My question is this:
When you play the game, how do you feel?

In my experience:
As a player for the Germans, I am very overstrained especially at the beginning. One doesn’t know where to begin. But you also have a sense of power. One is strong. The empire grows in the beginning. As an ally, it’s similar. One is confronted everywhere with a superiority and is overstrained to resist it.

Second question:
Do you think it makes strategic sense to invade the Soviet Union at the beginning of the game (as a German) and to do a D-Day Reloaded as an American/British?

It would be really great if you could answer me so that I can incorporate this subjective feeling for play.

Kind regards

Hello my name is Constanze and I come from Germany (please excuse my mistakes).
I am writing my thesis on Axis and allies Europe from 1999 and I need the testimonies of some experienced players.
What do you think the German should do to take Moscow?
I don’t want detailed statements about what I should buy and when and how I should place it, but rather the basic way. Should one rather try to conquer Stalingrad via the Ukraine and the Caucasus and thus form a noose around Moscow? Or would you rather fixate on leningrad and try to land in the north via the sea and thus close the pincers?

It would be really important that many people respond to this, because the more statements I have, the better I can support or even refute my thesis on the strategic approach to the conquest of Moscow.

Kind regards
