Hi everyone I am new to this forum, but i have been playing Axis and Allies for years. I have probably played at least 30 games of AAR in the past year. Here...

Wow, you said a mouth, errr, screenful…. I'll reply with some notes on a per-point basis. 1) Yep, seems like given "normal" total domination victory ...
In response to G1 carrier and "What to do about Africa?" from other posts. ... G1 I bought a transport, two tanks and a mess of infantry. 4 airplanes (landed...
Thanks for the info. I feel as if AAR is very addicting. I greatly enjoy the new one over the previous addition. What do you think of this for an allied...

Hey, Well, for me, I like 2 different Russian openings. If I want to get agressive with the Russians, I attack Belorussia, West Russia, and Ukraine. These...
... Hi, I am a beginning AAR player, I enjoy it a lot. What is the idea of taking Belorussia? Is this basically a way to withdraw the folks from Karelia and...
Attacking beloRussia prevents a German counterstroke into West Russia with 6 infantry plus the planes and tanks. It has to be taken out. With Belorussia taken...
Well, for me, I have a general goal to kill enemy units whenever it's in my advantage to do so. If I'm going to leave the Ukraine alone, there's only 4...
While I am no newbie to the game. I have played the last 2 games as the Allies. There are no bids at all. I have lost the last 2 as the Allies despite what i...
As you observed and as your friend plays to, the game is often a race to see if Japan can become unstoppable before Germany cracks. Your friend makes Germany...
You bring up a lot of good stuff, I agree with your summarys of the tasks of each power. I like your summary of Russia's role as well. It's an interesting...
Nick I like what you said, but my only problem is if i just go into Norway with the Brits, then he will link up his fleets and control Africa. I think the...
Just out of curiousity, everyone keeps talking about Fortress Europe and Germany's "rope-a-dope". Exactly how many turns are these games taking. In my group, 5...
I like what you have to say Dan Lei. One of my two favorite Russian openings involve thinning out Germany by attacking 3 German territories, West Russia,...
There are a few interesting things I wanted to ask everyone about. 1. Germany rope-a-dope. Why? The average game I play is from 5 rounds (normal) to 7 rounds...
What I seem to notice is that with an extreme German Turtle defense,tHe British can't attack the German fleet till the 3rd turn followed by the Americans and...
I have a question then. If the Germans are mostly bottled up or just "sitting there" why can't it work like this- England and the US continually land in...
Greetings, I have to disagree. While I can see benefit from conducting bad battles, Germany can really fort up Western, and you can take horrible losses with...
Another topic for thought- General consensus is that if Germany goes for the "Turtle Defense" the remainder of the game is spent waiting for Japan to consume...
Interesting, interesting. No one has ever employed "Turtle Defense" for the Germans in our games. If things get locked up in Europe the game is decided in the...
Thanks for the reply! There is a lot to think about in there. I have a single, small exception to one of your statements. It is about amphib landings. You are...

All- When replying, how about deleting all the original message but the parts you want to reference? Makes for easier reading and wow, these emails can get big...
Lei, I agree with what you say below, but only as options rather than as a plan. Sometimes it is better to trade, sometimes not. Actually, my entire "plan" (if...
"If Germany has no other territories but those three, Germany, Western, Southern, Eastern and the Balkans, it will end its turn with 35 ipcs." Am I missing...
... The full quote is: "A solid force of tanks, planes and fodder infantry in the territory of Eastern Europe allows a defensive Germany to threaten and end...
