@gebs99:

Ive always played been Rusia, next time im planning on been Germany. i was thinking that it would be a better strategy agaisnt Rusia to go all out for the Cucasus.

IMHO if you have to advance evenly through Russian or else your forward units get cut off and encircled

as to the reason of my extended absence I found this game cybernations.net (rather fun) but it was basically eating up all my online gaming time (if you’ve played it, you’ll know being government in an alliance takes some effort the actual game only takes like 5 minutes a day) :P now that i’ve lost a lot of interest in it and no longer involved in my alliance i’m picking this back up. also is it me or are the boards awfully slow?

Would you be interested in a pbem triplea game via email?

(the best Congress is a Congress out-of-session)!

Amen!

the AI in these games are retarded. I wanted to get a feel for what the game was like and decided to be France. I kicked Germany out of the West and then pushed  into the mainland. then Italy surrounded Austria and I took the capital and the same happened in Turkey. the good old one two punch. but it was more like ME, Italy and Russia(who feel to Turkey) against the Central Powers. America and Britain never landed troops. I think there is something messed up with the navy units. also they AI has no concept of defending ones capital.

@Linkon:

The common Axis strategy is KRF.

Spend where you can win.

Spend where you can easily divide and conquer your opponent.

Yes i know that thank you. actually i said the russian’s over extend and now i am hitting them hard.

I would recommend alternative axis strategies after Russia’s income is < $12 for 3 rounds straight.  This allows Ger and Jpn to each fly SBR’s and spend ~$10/round to maintain their respective Russian Fronts.   The surplus $$ can be spent for other parts of the board.

Your team should be well in control of the game at that point, so the other pursuits do not put Ger at risk.  However, the Allied players will be on to the fact that you are just “toying” with them.  Their reaction will be unpredictable.

I remember back in college…

The library closed, so I strolled back to my dorm.  I passed by the W campus laundromat and noticed a few lights were still on in the attached lounge.  One of my classmates was playing A&A with a group.  One of his friends worked P/T around campus and used his keys to let the group in.  I could see something went way wrong with the Allies.  Ger had by then already built a factory in Cauc.  and had 2 BB’s and a trn in the body of water next to the Rus capital.  Axis flags were all over the Pacific and Africa was the new front.  I watched the game for a while.  Ger got BB #3 there and the Allies then conceded.  It was well after 1 AM, and only axis players appeared to be having willing to go on.  Easy for them since they were the only players having fun.

The aftermath.  I am one of 2 from that group who graduated.  The others transferred out or flunked early due to the severity of their gaming habit.  The other guy was like me in prioritizing schoolwork, thus joining them for limited hours each month.

PBEM is a good way of controling your hours.

I’d accept that, Switch.  I would also legalize the use of ALL narcotics by anyone over 18 years old.  The stupid will weed themselves out of the gene pool that way.  Darwin’s theory can be proven!

in 1992,

I have even cheated Death before.

remember my main rule .

Yes this is true… From Locke’s “2 Treatises on Civil Government”.

If I understand right Jefferson changed it because Locke was strictly referring to property and not to the broadened definition that Jefferson Believed the New American Republic was fighting for (what would eventually become our Bill of Rights), which included Property…

@balungaloaf:

and gewehr……it used to snow every year before thanksgiving when i was growing up in the nineties.  we have just had some breaks for a while.

And Thats exactly why I hat the “good old days”……I wish it stayed like it’s bin with snow only in feb and jan

um… im bored waiting for my opponents to go, so I thought id add my 2 cents.

As the allies, I would rather have 16 guys in EEU, WEU, LEN, or NOR than 0 guys and 6-8 dead Germans.

that is all,

this sounds cool http://www.elephantpolo.com/

everything should be updated now.

Its a block version of Third Reich but a bit easier.

Big problem is the defender gets to fire first, loses are removed, then attacker fires… if say UK and USA attack the same German territory the defending Germans roll both times against them.

This is a ridiculous rule IMO.

The good thing about it is the fog of war and its more efficient method is stacking.

Many of the rules are verbatim ripped from 3R but thats a good thing anyway for the most part.

you can use the map for AA pieces.

I have the rules for BB ( barrys bastardization) which is the conversion of EE to AA.

I posted mine earlier but here it is…

Whoops, I wasn’t being specific enough. I mean what were your specific answers to the multiple choice questions, not the end result.

Reason and a connection with and a compassion for all things living should dictate your moral obligations toward life rather than fear of your diety’s retribution or selfish desire. It’s simply easier and more rewarding to be nice to people. Being an a**hole takes effort.

WTf that’s almost exactly what I think yet I got Aquinas and John Stuart Mill? O_O

True, the Allies can’t do “anything” or make outragegous attacks or make strange buys, but you can get away with a lot of bad habits if there is no bid to worry about.

For the record, letting the allies keep W. Europe is worse then E. Europe but both should be avoided at all costs.

=)

Oh yea, and never let America take Norway.  Better to let England have it.  Odds of them affording an IC and putting out 3 armor a round there is much smaller. =)
