Congrats Geo!

Good game guys and well played guys.

Ok, good game! You had a very strong start, never felt that pressure early on from Germany before. But in the end I think you overextended yourself a bit too much :) Well played!

ya its a pain when your pressed for time and you want to make sure that its no the usual error where we need room.
I cant play all my turns in 1 setting so I have to make people wait until I get more time witch is most likely the next day or so.
I do love this game. is there anything that can be done? I am getting comets that some players are not playing as often because of it.

I need to check the rule again but basically it allows the fighters to escort bombers or defend during strategic bombing.  Sounds like an interesting one to try …

I will set up a game later and let you know…

Cheers,

Yes that sea battle was hugely important for your momentum. I misscalculated it a bit.

I have now started a new game when I’m playing tha allies again. Good luck!

it is still not working

I’m looking for opponents to the above mentioned game. I prefer playing the axis, but could switch from time to time.

Cheers

Ok, maybe a newbie question here. But I get a “The server axisandallies.org failed to respond with a valid HTTP response” message when I try to play PBEM in triple and do a “test post”. Anyone familiar with this and know how to connect? I play on mac. I have turned off my firewall, so that shouldn’t be it.

1942 spring

How does it work? And is anyone interested in playing? I’m kinda new to the game, but start to get the hang of it.

@JEB:

Yes, it seems that attacking and taking egypt on the first round would solve the problem. I’m kinda new to the game, and the reason I haven’t attacked egypt on round 1 was that I read the “Don’s axis and allies essays” and he promptly advocated NOT to attack egypt on the first round but wait until the 2nd instead. He seemed like a knowledgeable guy, so I wonder how he would have dealt with this. Because he didn’t advocate buying a carrier either, but just one transport and rest inf.

I also have read Don’s Axis and Allies essays more 10 years ago, and they are great for Classic, but you’re playing Spring 1942 and a lot has changed between both games :)

Germany losing the Med fleet on UK1 isn’t critical:

The 2 units that would go to Africa can instead be sent to Russia Sending more than 4 German units to Africa than the starting ones is usually a waste of resources. Those 4 units cost 12-16 IPC and Germany will only get 4-5 IPCs per turn from Africa in return. Japan can also threaten Africa more effectively if it sends transports to French Indochina. Overall the important objective is to increase the total Axis IPC income to 84+. And most of the richer territories are on Europe/Asia.
