Hi all, thanks for all the replies…I played again this monday and got rolled again on turn 5…

I was attacked on turn 2. I pulled every possible infantry back i could. He moved is stack of 11 infantry to east poland turn 1 bought 5 tanks. He lost 1 fighter in the atlantic sinking all my ships but left 110 alone.

My new? is I have heard people saying the u.s. can land in w. germany to disrupt…we are talking about turn 5 correct? because u.s. cant attack germany until turn 4 right?, or at least launch from washington towards germany on turn 4. what I do with the u.s. is turn 4 put fleet with 8-10 loaded transports to gibraltar. turn 5 i can hit pretty much anything i want, italy,normandy,denmark,holland,w.germ,norway… I usually go for w. germany.

Germany’s build on turn 5 is all inf that are placed on germ and w.germ to repel the us attack. I usually cant get a uk fleet going until the us is parked by england to protect them.

Back to moscow…It fell again turn 5, I had 12 allied planes defending and i hit with 2 aa shots which was nice…He took russia with 2 bombers,2 fighters and 6 tanks left…

then immediately turned it all around back to germany…meantime he is now getting 80 plus ipc’s a turn. not much I can do even if i take w.germany with the u.s.

Also i cant build any navy with the u.k. because he leaves all his luftwaffe in w .germany until turn 4, then he moves them over to attack russia turn 5…

Also i would say i lose about 6-8 original russian infantry who cant retreat back fast enough from the tanks…

So basically to make along story short here is what happens everytime…

I am russia…My strategy is all infantry for the first 4 turns and pull back all 18 troops from amur towards moscow. I bring EVERY allied fighter i can bring to defend russia
So by turn 5 russia looks like this…about 45 infantry,2 mechs,2tanks,5art,2 tacticals, 1 russian 1 england,and about 7 fighters, 1 russian,1 french,4 englands, 1 anzac… so im rolling 54 2’s…4 3’s, and 7 4’s…plus i buy 1 aa gun to have 9 shots…

My opponent builds all tanks for turns 1 and 2, turn 3 i believe 5 fighters,turn 4, 4 bombers which can hit russia from germany.
So he attacks on turn 2 and moves the whole pile together and moves east each turn and on turn 5 attacks russia with about 17 inf,22 tanks,4 mechs,6 art,like 4 tacticals,8 fighters,6 bombers…

he still takes france turn 1,yugoslavia and bulgaria rise up along with finland…

so i have around 65 units and he has about 67…he might get 1 maybe 2 aa hits and sometimes he loses a plane when he attacks british fleet, but i lose everytime turn 5 and there is nothing else i possibly can bring to defend…

round 1 i lose all my fodder and he loses half of his infantry but all of his 3’s and 4’s rolling just cant be stopped…

What would you guys do against an all out blitz on russia??? what else can i do to stop it?

thanks

So a damaged carrier cant have any planes on it? that would explain it then…

Hi all, I am having 1 problem with triple a. When I move my carriers with planes on them they never let me land them on the carrier after combat…even if i only move 1 space then attack. I always have to find an island or let them die…Why cant i click on the carrier to land them there???

thanks

Thanks, thats what i needed to confirm…

I’m sure there are alot of scramble ?'s out there but i was told at a axis tournament where i live that i cant scramble from england….

I believe you can scramble from any air base that is an island or on a coast, correct? I know england isnt considered an island maybe thats why…

help…

Hey all,

I have been playing global weekly now for the last 4 months with a friend and when we try to play in 4:45 minutes we can only average turn 6-7 maybe…

Do we get like 20 minutes for the axis and 20 for the allies per round? how does time work.

Even if we were allowed 30 minutes per side the game will never get past turn 5…

thanks
