Oh, and not that this is the place to post it, but just an idea for a game rule. I find that there is not a strong enough relationship between sea control and economic prosperity in the existing games, and, at the risk of sounding too much like A.T. Mahan, all great powers have been sea powers. So here’s my idea (which may have been done without my knowledge): an enemy fleet in the ajacent sea-zone of a territory with an industrial complex will be considered a naval blockade, with the blockaded player losing a certain amount of IPC’s for their following turn.

Master list for available games?
Hey guys,
I’m getting bored with the available maps and would be interested in finding some more, particularly the one I read about on a Napoleonic Wars map and a WWIII/Cold War. Is there some sort of master list with all of the different available games where I could just click and download the ones that interest me?
Thanks in advance. -

RE: Nazi Germany VS The Soviet Union
“yea AFTER Stalingrad…. nobody will debate that any hope remained AFTER Stalingrad. However in August 41 anything was possible”
I understand that, but the question is about Germany vs. Soviet Union. The fact remains that the VAST majority of the German divisions were fighting the Soviet Union and the battle of Stalingrad and the German decline after their defeat suggests that they would have lost the war against the Russians even if the Americans and British had nto been involved. Remember that the Germans were on the run long before D-Day, and that the Anglo-American front was seemingly only opened eventually when the British and Americans feared Soviet hegemony over Germany. On the other hand, there is something to be said about the salience of American Lend-Lease Aid.

RE: Nazi Germany VS The Soviet Union
After Stalingrad, the Russian tanks were more sophsticated than the German tanks and outnumbered them over 4:1, as well as over 2:1 manpower. That is shear overwhelming power - not to mention behind the sophisticated German panzer units, their army was still relying on quite primitive military elements like cavalry.

RE: Nazi Germany VS The Soviet Union
A walking evil brain.
But for everyone who thinks that Germany would have defeated a ‘lone Russia’ I would have to disagree. By the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, the turning point of the European theater, Russia was facing over 200 German divisions while the Anglo-Americans were only facing 6-7, includine ONE light panzer division under Rommel in North Africa. The fact that the Russians won the Battle of Stalingrad and turned the tide suggests that Germany would have been ultimately unsuccessful in a strictly German vs. Russia war. Lets face it, Russia has not been successfully invaded since the Mongols (actually not Russia at the time) because its just too big in geography and population.

RE: Nazi Germany VS The Soviet Union
Read an interesting theory today that actually seems plausible: that Heydrich’s espionage network planted forged documents that made there way up to Stalin about an attempted joint coup against Stalin between the Red Army leaders and the Nazi. The significance is that the Germans, knowing Stalin’s paranoia, were responsible for Stalin’s purges that crippled Red Army leadership on the eve of war.

Playing on XP?
Hi all,
I’m sure this question has been asked many, many times, but I was unable to find a thread. I just bought Axis and Allies again after losing my old disk several years ago. I used to play on an older computer, and now I am trying to play on a laptop that runs windows XP. Every time I start the game it closes as soon as the first round of a ‘combat move’ (‘AxisAllies.exe had encountered a problem and needs to close’). I know the game is around ten years old, so I was wondering if it’s not possible to run on Windows XP?P.S. I am not very skilled when it comes to computers, so please dumb-down the langauge.
