okay so how would you teach me or how would we play? I am on the East coast of America if that helps with timing the game.

Okay I downloaded TripleA, now what?

1. is it free?

2. what are the system requirements?

3. Where do I go to get it?

I plan on being both UK and ANZAC in my first game of Global. I wanted to know basic purchases and moves for each faction. Thoughts?

I see alot of the guys on youtube that post global games of axis and allies play with the Alpha 3.5 rules. I have 2nd edition of global. Is there a significant difference between the two or could I use the videos from Alpha 3.5 rules and apply the same way as with 2nd edition?

This is the video I am talking about.

What are some possible moves or buys that germany could do in response to turtling?

One suggestion that I know of is to starve Russia of IPC by using mechs.

What esle could they do? I ask b/c I want to know how best respond to his purchases. I doubt Germany will buy air for Russia has 6 AAAs. However they could use them for the defense of Norway or Normandy.

Thoughts?

He Eggman, just to follow the Current situation look up the other thread I have about European Stalemate. And thanks for the Help!  :lol:

I never thought to go to Norway! There are no troops at all in Norway but all my transports are in SZ109, It would be by UK 6 that they would make it to SZ112 and Germany only has 1 inf in Kraliea but a big stack in Volvgrod. Could this just be a diversionary tatic? And should I build a Naval base in Iceland to help with the shucking? Should I bother with Normandy at all now? Or should I just wait until G5’s buys and combat is finished to determine what I will buy for UK and US? RU will have to survive round 5 and 6 and I don’t know man, everyone gets bad dice…  :|

Thanks. So what should I do with the French after Mainland France falls?

Okay, i pulled all my units back to Moscow and bought nothing but infantry (except for 2 AAAs). Do I just wait for the Western front to be opened and hold up until then? Is there any chance I can build a counter force and push back? it’s the beginning of G5 now, so maybe have a force up by R6 or R7?

Can you build a minor IC in French West Africa or is that an illegal move?

Italy is on its last legs in North Africa but with a substantial force in Torbuk. Germany did not Sealion and kept most of the UK Navy intact, which cost it it’s Naval power. On the other hand it focused all its forces on the eastern front with a Barbrossa (Germany took France and Normandy with Italy taking southern France). In Response Russia fell back all it’s units to moscow and purchased nothing but inf and a few AAA. with 44 inf, 6AAAs, 2ftrs, 1 tactical bomber and a few mechs, tanks and artys. America has 4 transports with mechs, inf and artys so a total of 8 plus two Uk transports with inf on each.

There are only 3 german inf, one Arty and one AAA in Normandy. All the loaded transports are in SZ 109. 2 battle ships and 2 cruisers are on sz110 and can provide amphibus bombardment. Germany only has 6 inf in France and a few planes in Holland/Belgium.

Its Germany’s turn on the 5th round so he could refocus his efforts west to get ready for the invasion but despite his large force in the east, he needs every unit to take on Moscow that he could get. Germany also plans (I know b/c the play told me, haha). That he will starve Russia of IPCs by not attacking and using mechs to claim territory until I can only produce 1 inf of each turn.

Should I open the second front in normandy this round or does it depend on G5’s purchases?

I think I should anyway because I can land 3 fighters to defend normandy and use the minor IC to pump out units next turn if I can hold it. roughly 12 ground units, 3 ftrs and sea bombardment, i think i have the odds. Also once Italy is out of North Africa should I build a minor IC in Egypt and open a 3rd front in the south to threaten Italy? Can Russia be saved in time?

Thoughts?

Okay so I can’t get Brazil but still what should my purchases be for US 1-3?

I don’t have the map in front of my but I think you are right. My Mistake!

So what I am guessing for Africa at least is to save Egypt at all costs. Send troops from South Africa north, troops in the East sent west and fall back from Cairo.

Basically what should the buys be for the first 3 turns? A bunch of destroys and transports with land units boarding up?

And I had a previous post about UK1 and someone said i could do a build up by Gilbralter. If conditions permit, could i send all the units I built for North America and send them to North Africa? It could take a few tries but it could potentially spell the end of Italy’s game, forcing them to turtle.

Or should I take Brazil within the first 3 turns, build a minor IC and send those units to North Africa as a conglamorant with those from the north?

So should I do the above with converging all troops for Egypt?

So that’s what I can do on the water but what about on the land in Africa? Should I pull back my troops from Cairo to Egypt and from transjordan to Egypt while slowing moving the one inf from west india to Africa?

What kind of troops should I produce in South Africa to send aid? (P.S. we have a house rule to allow mechs to move 2 without tank). Should I upgrade the minor IC to a major in South Africa?

A naval build up in Gibraltar? With I minor I assume? And Why Gibraltar?

I know there are alot of variables that can happen in the north sea and the Baltic when it comes to UK’s navy. My question however considers the game in the Mediterranean. I know for a fact I will go hard in SZ 97, but what else should I do? Should I pull back forces from Cario to Egypt and build a minor IC in Egypt?

Thoughts?
