@Axel:
I think the imbalance of the current bids for both games are speaking for itself, too!
A&A had a standard bid of 24 IPC’s for the Axis, I presume…
24 IPC’s?!? that’s 8 infantries… damn, that’s a lot!!!
A&AR has a bid of 6 IPC’s and not every player even bids 6!talk about the way the new game is balanced :-)
I still dont think a bid is needed at all in revised.
So you trick your oponenet into taking a “free” territory, and then you hammer them, costing them lost of IPC’s in lost units?
Thats about all russa can do except in cases where the almighty dice are in your favor. In that case, you might get to do more.

Evedently nobody here is a H*R fan. Oh well :-o
Whats the deal. These boards have been almost silent the last couple of days.
@Craig:
Umm you bought revised from Hasbro? That might be the problem right there since AH now owns the game.
Hasbro owns the AH name and also owns WotC, who was given the task of doing the A&A revision. Look at the box. You will see a small WotC symbol on it. There are also Hasbro symbols in the rule book.

I stand corrected. I had no Idea that Hasbro owned WotC.

I would agree with you there, but the way it stands now its not realy an option unless everybody is doing the unothodox.
I think alot of people get stuck trying to play this game the way history played out. It might be good to keep a small fleet around to slow down any Pacific Island hopping but realy Japan is posisitioned so that it very rarely falls. Thats the nice thing about an isolated island nation.

I voted no but that was a mistake. I do own it.
I say we petition Larry Harris to change the name of Africa to Arrica. :-D
Ok I need to clarify. I wasn’t all that offended, (its hard to offend me on an message board about a game) I was being a smart butt. But I for the life of me could not understand what arrica was. Thanks for the explanation. I was not able to put the clues together like the rest of you were.
Umm because I obviously don’t have your genious level inteligence so It was not obvious to me. I would like the freedom to ask questions with out smart alleck remarks from the peanut gallery. My question still has not been answered. Is it america?
Yep I would have. Why? Because the odds are in your favor and because, dang it, its fun. Who cares if you lose the battle or the war?
What the snot is arrica?
Japan just has more options and is much more agressive than Germany. Germany never really leaves Europe, but Japan builds an empire like nobodies busness
