Hello fellow members of this community.

My name is Sergio Gonzalez and I live in Spain. I briefly lived in Canada for two years where I got into the Axis and Allies gaming.

I generally play G40 and not as often as I would like to. It is quite difficult to find commited players or even the time to play, but it is what it is.

I am working on printing one of the community files maps in vynil and a mixture of PVC and aluminium, hopefully I get that done soon and I can invite some friends over to get them into the game.

This latter part is proven to be difficult with the actual situation, but hopefully in the future I can spread a good disease…the disease of playing Axis and Allies as much as possible!!

Hi guys,

I have been reading a lot and watching videos on Germany strategy, so the opening options for me are very clear.

However, how do you decide between Sea Lion and Barbarossa? What do you see in the game that makes you go one way or the other?

I am currently playing a game and I honestly cannot decide what to do in my turn 2.

In my opener I took care of the whole British fleet and barely got hit, so I have all my ships left except one sub.

England stacked up on infantry and currently have 11 infantry plus the french and all the planes from the set up (did not scrambled once).

On the other hand Leningrad has only 8 infantry on it, but it would take me two turns to reach there (however being a minor industrial complex all the Russian player can do is put 3 more in there).

I also have all my planes available and in reach of London (total of 10 planes) and 3 transports. The only doubt I have is that I only have two artillery to bring in the transports (i moved most of it towards the Russian front).

I think I would have better options for Sea Lion if I go for it this turn, but, not having a lot of experience playing yet, I would like to know what you guys think.

Cheers!

@young-grasshopper Just got your Omaha and Utah decks online. Can’t wait to get them, I think they are a very nice addition to the game.

Thank you very much for all the content and ideas you are bringing to this game, it is really inspiring!!

Welcome!! I hear you when you say you will be mostly playing alone…my friends and wife do not have the patience either.

Do not worry about the rules, once you get a grasp of them it will become second nature, although you can have many doubts at the beginning.

If I can be of any help with any doubts you have, please let me know, I will be glad to help.

Cheers

Sergio

@gen-manstein thanks for the update. I think it makes sense.

I see that there are a lot of house rules out there that really bring new life to the game, love it.

@barnee will try that out, focusing on the fast movers for an attack on Russia on turn 3. Already got three transports in the board, so Lets get some tanks and mechanized! Thanks for your intake

@alwaysaxis everyone knows the Faroer Islands, cmon…B36 Thorsvan and such…

@gen-manstein it looks amazing. What measurements does the map have?

I have printed on vynil Ambizi´s version but it only slightly bigger than using the game boards. It has all the air and naval bases printed on, but still, lacks of space in certain areas, so I was considering printing another map with a bigger size.

I got a quotation for a 2,75 meters x 1,25 meters at 300 euros. I don´t see where I could put that or how I would get my wife’s approval for such transaction…

@barnee thanks man, really appreciate it.

Just to let you know that your idea worked as a charm. All the British fleet in the Mediterranean is gone (lost two fighers on the process though).

I also brought the battleship and a sub from SZ110 into the Gibraltar strait where the French navy was hiding. I believe that is a legal move since I control Normandy and it has a naval base.

Purchased tanks, artillery and another transport and now the Russian know what´s coming to them next turn!

Cheers
