Axis and Allies strategy part4

[MrDooney6]

That was a bad move. Russia could then blitz Germany and take two territories.

[Holasrmateo]

You didn't buy anything you moron.

[nakawick]

The UK bomber would get your new bomber on the ground, better put it in southern europe.

[TheAmericaninexile]

DUDE! Is this a joke? You might be the worst AA player I've ever seen. OR... you play against the worst players ever.

[MrBigmushrooms]

germany's attack moves are brilliant but the purchase is bs

[mrKreuzfeld]

if anyone leaves AA + inf + ftrs in w europe like this for me, I say "Great" and send in 2 inf + 1 art +1tank +2ftrs +1 bomber and accepts my 63 % chanse of killing luftwaffe round 1!!

[cod4ltt1213]

THIS KID WOULD GET BLOWN TO SHIT!!! Great Britains buy Carrier and 4 infanty heads to norway stealing 3 ipcs that are unreclaimable by german forces

America Focuses on Japan stoping the Northern Attack its over axis falls Allies win (AT A QUICKER RATE THEN THE WAR!!!) HE IS NOOOOO HITLER

[mrKreuzfeld]

@cod4ltt1213 against good players, us should never focus on japan, they should always support the KGF, because it is the stratigy that always wins, no matter what the axis does.

[cod4ltt1213]

FIRST Tech Upgrades are OPTIONAL!

Second I have found great results with a German aircraft carrier for 16 and the rest go tword infanty which when they met the frontline would be met by tanks from the rear!

Third Great Britain would use their 2 fighters and bomer tword your naval units in seazone 5 but the move on the Battleship in seazone 13 was good but the fighters should land BACK IN GERMANY to go onto your carrier!!!!

THIS KID IS PLAYING AS IF THE WAR HASNT STARTED YET!

[PMMagro]

Hitlers strategy to start lookig for "sperweapons" instead of wiining on the battlefield?

Weird in my book. Try first on the ground...

[PMMagro]

Going for "super weapons" before the war is lost? ?? At leas try for Moscow, Leningrad or Stalingrad first...

[highperformer]

thanks for posting. the biggest mistake is stick to fixed strategies. Be elastic. Adapt purchases and attacks to the situation. Concentrate units when attacking. Attack where defender is weak and defend where defender is strong.

[Requiredghr18]

I wish i could find people in the Salt Lake area who play this

[MIDVALCRE]

the ONLY area I agree with here is if you blow it ALL on tech for long range aircraft and then go for an operation SeaLion on G1. Of course, if you dont get the tech OR the Operation Sea Lion fails, you lose. Which is what is going to happen in this video anyway but at least trying Op Sea Lion gives you that chance to win at all. BTW: Who EVER sees the Ukraine unattacked on R1? Even a H&R takes a few pieces away.

[mormril]

Five tech rolls!? Germany is being faced with threats on all sides. He has America/Uk's navy that are both going to be coming soon. He has Africa which is a good goal for quick expansion etc and he has tons of potential targets. If anything, I think the Axis should go for a Cruiser (12) and a transport (7) and buy 7 infantry with the rest. The Germans need to go wipe out the Uk's fleet as much as possible to delay their attacks. The rest of the things should focus on Africa and Russia.

[i013490]

Hahahaha, this guy is a joker!, "I suggest 5 tech rolls and a bomber??!"

[baseballace99]

There is no need to buy advanced weaponary rolls until you overrun russia. Buy 8 tanks and buy tanks every time until the british and americans threaten to land in the west. Then you buy a bunch of infantry to hold the lines.

[438426x1]

you cant use rockets more than once per country (so u can do it to both britain and russia, but not twice to russia)

[fourslimon20]

you cant buy two technologie at the same time thats mean you dont even know rules

[Imjetta7]

What it comes down to is that this is his stragtegy so if you don't like it then that's fine this is just what he would do

[acemcjace169]

What are tech rolls? Are they not included newest edition?

[skinflutey]

I would buy 8 tanks with Germany and focus on getting Russia out of the war as quick as possible. Plus tech roles should not be purchased by Germany until Russia is defeated or close to.

[baseballace99]

@skinflutey that;s what i do everytime and i always win wth the axis.

[axsundiver]

Holy shit! That guy is married!

[nstwelvegauge]

You take all available aircraft (assuming you play with suicide runs) and attack the UK with them. Then you unload the transport from the Baltic Sea into the UK

[skinflutey]

no team should buy tech upgrades in the first round.

[trench05]

@skinflutey i like rockets as a tech roll for germany early, since they are in such close proximity to enemy IC's. If you get rockets than you are indirectly taking enemy units off the battlefield, and since the nazi's have the early advantage (ipc and starting units) this helps to maximize it.

[skinflutey]

@trench05 yes but you might not get them but if you buy a tank you get the tank you buy a risky roll you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting it.

[cris01us]

Page 9 my friend... you can only do one weapons development per turn. So unless your playing house rules this can't be done. Rockets are the better idea of the bat anyway, given the overall situation.  You have only one bomber and need to keep it alive, and buying another is a waste this early.

[calvinhobbesliker2]

I would just attack Gemany with the bomber from the UK and kill the lone German bomber which is undefended

[SethLoganatbgg]

From the American to the German commander: NUTS!

[mathiasp8888]

I would so much like to play against you and that "alternative" strategy.

[Bullridingpro10]

why not just blitz the two open Russian country's, use your battleship and sub along side with the fighter to attack the battle ship, load then unload an armor and an infantry into Anglo-Egypt. BAM you have a complete offense with an open blitzing road for UK's territory. this guy good ideas but not using the armor to its full potential.

[calvinhobbesliker2]

@Bullridingpro10 The transport can't invade without the battleship killing the destroyer first. The tank is better used in Russia, not Africa, and blitzing into archangel loses a tank just to gain 2 ipc's

[zemchy]

i allwase just bomb the f out of everybody when im UK cus they can get the most bombers

[TheSultan79]

i would purchase a factory with germany and place it in eastern europe

[redsoul888]

Ok, if you're not dumb then I don't know what the hell you are. Don't encourage tec-roles unless you're lucky with them. When I played it once, Russia took over 4 German territories but Germany still manage to have a bigger victory in the end. My strategy for Germany is that you need to break out fast. I mean, you have to deal a powerful punch to at least 1-2 territories that can pose a threat. I'm not saying it'll all the time but I find it useful. FYI DON'T ATTACK AFRICA OR BRITAIN.

[Flyinghotpocket]

honestly thats very differant approach. i as germany either do a conquest for africa (not hard but take 3 or 4 turns) or i go the carrair route, and smoke the shit outta great britain with transports and planes. taking pressure off japan, thus allowing them to send reinforcements to germany.

[worldwarlooming]

russia can blitz 1 tank into balkans, taking it, ukraine, and your aa gun.

[zoetvanham]

I agree, this guy is just setting up potential opponents for a fast fail. After the stupid openingmove of Russia leaving Caucasus poorly defended, he could have taken it with support of the Italian navy + reinforcements, most of the airforce, with as result minimal losses, a deadly delay for Russia to build in Caucasus, a blitzing tank up to Archangel, and all troops in EastEurope + landed luftwaffe waiting in Ukraine to retake Caucasus on turn 2.

[Eron2828]

All this strategy is supposed to help neutralize the luck of the dice.

Then you put everything on getting tech rolls?

[fourslimon20]

this is the most stupid move i have ever seem in axis ,

[jimmid67]

1st turn infantry and maybe 2 arty on your second turn buy armor 3rd turn all infantry and a fighter 4th turn armor take russian territory every turn

[1337samu]

following the rulebook you could only roll for ONE technology, not TWO

isn't it?

[MegaAbomb]

This is horrible advice, BUY TANK! Russia will eventually hit your capital as Germany. Pull your troops close to the capital and less Soviet Union take some land. Now that their forces are spread thin, use your concentrated power to smash through, Fight through the middle east to open a two front war for the soviets,

[putman9]

Not seen such opening purchases for Germany before. I usually just buy all infantry, maybe a few tanks and rest infantry. The more so as Russian player usually keeps buying infantry as well. The reasoning is that the only way you can really lose is if you run out of men, (as the late Austrian corporal found out, despite his own successful tech rolls...)

[ListWritingMachine]

in this Germany are impossible

[ListWritingMachine]

to beat i mean

[vonkug]

Guide to Germany:

1) Build tanks.

2) Build tanks.

3) Build fighters.

4) Build tanks

[mrworldwar2buff]

And leave Germany unprotected? Pull out of the Ukraine and the Balkans? You just wasted an entire assault since Russia can just walk in and kill that one measly infantry in Belorussia. I also think these are pranks.

[mrworldwar2buff]

The fighter planes have to land somewhere, so the battleship attack was a blunder. And the landings in Egypt will just divert valuable troops from the Eastern front. And you could just blitz a tank through Kareila and take Archangel.

[mrworldwar2buff]

FIVE TECH ROLLS? Epic fail, dude.

[EconosPhylos]

The purchase means that Germany lost. No need to watch the rest. I'm starting to think these are just prank vids.

[BrotherLonnie]

I agree. The moment you make a purchase like this, you have permanently given up the initiative, and Germany can never, EVER afford to do that; it is a precarious situation as it is for Germany.  Russia now dictates the battlefield and can even afford to make an unorthodox purchase without any fear from Germany. If you are going to make tech rolls, do it gradually and keep pumping out infantry.

[wolfattack402000]

Anyone aware of ANY possibitlity of a CD version of this game? I am NOT referring to the Atari A&A which I have no success with in my computer. I really liked the old A&A cd game. It seems that after the 1.3.3 patch, it was abandoned my Hasbro. Avalon Hill, I believe, owns the rights now and I would really love it if they came out with a better, updated, computer version.

[hugetird]

u can play online on the aa site

[DELOS]

Oh man!! I miss play Axis and Allies, face to face or PBEM.

But the German Strategic buying 05 dices is not the best... The best estrategic con German is buy 04 arm and 04 inf and 01 fighter. Or If you are risk, buy 02 aircraft carrier + 01 transport and put 01 in the north and other in mediterraean sea.. to the 3rd round you could add the 02 fleets and rules on the sea.

[mick15203]

Total waste of Germany's resources.

[TheSultan79]

people where i am from think i am so damn rich and wealthy and they want to murder my whole family for that fortune

[TheSultan79]

how come he does not have the american strategies

[Aphex217Twin]

you should leave one infantry in ukraine so russia can't blitz to the balkins with a tank, and steal your aa gun

[paulyta1122]

you didnt put anyone in norway. the uk has transports to reach and what if russia had bought nothing but tanks

[bluudevil]

Keep in mind, you can really only figure out the best strategy if you are exposed to other strategies. Don't flame the guy for putting up his strategy. One reason Germany lost is because it lost air power, so, I always buy 1 fighter each turn. With the odd sub and transport here and there, I can usually keep UK unable to mount a transport fleet for 3 or 4 turns. My mantra for attacking or defending Russia is "guys & tanks, guys & tanks".

[suckd2]

totally agree. except my Russia strategy is only manpower. it has yet to fail me.

[p1q0]

Too much tech too early.

[Agomongo1235]

but when is going to com out anyways?

[THEF22RAPTORACE]

it should be next month.

[Agomongo1235]

wich is better A & A 1942 or A & A revised plz reply

[THEF22RAPTORACE]

A&A 1942 hasn't been released yet.

[kaylamber1]

your such a dumbass, you can only choose one development each turn!!! lol

[XxShadowSlayer5xX]

lol why hold up in E.Europe, secure your borders with russia, i do some of the stuff that you do but i mostly purchase ground

[arbynchief5]

dude, ur plans are wack, germany would die really fast

[arbynchief5]

lmao prbbly

[ligers4ever]

So you didn't buy a single land unit as Germany to deploy. I'll play you for money anytime you want.

[arbynchief5]

lol same here

[mumakmaster]

bomber in england can hit the bomber you bought in germany

[bigtiti12]

i always attack Ukraine with Russia...

you make some tips for the new AAA?

[mumakmaster]

your'e not allowed to try for more than 1 technology

[TheSultan79]

i would use bombers with germany to weaken the russian income

[Teranex]

Its partly really boring with allways the same starting setting.

[IchBinDieKaiser]

I would first purchase 3 tech rolls for rockets. Then I would use the remains 25 to purchase 3 tanks and 3 infantry and deploy them in Germany at the end of the turn.

[ackleysinned]

wow reread the rulebook nooob!!!

[TheRealThang88]

I think this is a pretty sound strategy except that gernaby is open to invasion and moving the fleet inbetween is a waste. i would also invade the cacusus because it inst that well defended and russia has really no troops left

[badass447]

thanks for pointing out everything I saw wrong with this guys strategy! He seems smart yet makes really dumb decisions

[zmullen15]

once you build up your infantry for the first two turns, discretely picking away at russia's front and sneaking into europe, then you can start buying a bomber hear in there, peppered in with fighters and tanks. Using a lot of infantry while you attack is a great strategy because it absorbs the hits for your higher IPC parts such as tanks and fighters which both attack at a 3.

[zmullen15]

the attacking strategies are sound...however the purchases are a little sketch for this early in the game..no matter what kind of player you are (beg. to adv.) fortifying your front lines as Germany is crucial to extend the longevity of your game. You will notice that by purchasing 8 infantry on your first turn as Germany will not only extend your game, but significantly increase your offense, supporting the tanks and fighters, using infantry as meat shields.

[narnianhero]

I think the strategy is fairly sound. I'd choose a little different approach in purchases (not so much into rocket tech), but as for attacks I think those are good ideas. The bomber should go to Southern Europe, BTW.

[Rastenwolf]

You can buy research dice for only one development per turn. In the Axis & Allies Operations Manual, on page 9, it says clearly: you can choose only one development each turn.

[busarider29]

I don't agree with leaving Germany empty at the end of the turn and placing only the one newly purchased bomber there. The first attack I would make on Germany would be to bring the Bomber over from Great Britain and take out that lone bomber sitting in Germany, especially if Germany got the tech roll on heavies. The odds are heavily favored for Great Britain that she would win that battle. Germany cannot afford to lose precious IPC's like that with the easy loss of her newly purchased bomber.

[dapossums]

i never buy dice because i just wail on russia n take alot of territory in it befor britins strong enough to invade

[Panzerjock]

With only a bomber defending Germany and no ships in the Baltic Sea, Germany is wide open to a naval invasion from britan. This would casue germany to lose all its savings and not be able to build in germany until the next turn when germany is forced to reconqure its homeland and weaken itself in the russian front. This strategy sucks.

[narnianhero]

The British fleet needs at least two turns from its current position to attack Germany since the adjacent sea zone is three spaces away.

[justjustinme]

it was just for that turn. It was impossible for Britain to conquer Germany at the time. Although, as others pointed out, Britian can use their bomber to take out Germany's Bomber on Germany.

[broadsword303]

Withdrawing from so many eastern territories and losing those points is a losing strategy.

[Miketar2424]

I ALWAYS buy tech. I roll for jets first for the sake of historical accuracy (Germans invented the jet). Then I get rockets. I buy as many rolls as it takes to do this. After that, If I still have subs left I roll for super subs. I buy all rolls and spend any etra on 1 inf etc. Germany has plenty of units on the board so ho cares if Russia kills some, you get to roll your dice!

[Jdunford2306]

bad idea... if the axis are too ever win you must take as much area as you can immediately you should invite russia to attack you. buying all tanks and a transport is my normal open with germany... too support both africa and the invasion into russia from the baltic... and the tech rule is one tech research per turn not sure what you were doing with 2 for bombers and 3 for rocket... with an opening round like this germany is most certain going to get crushed within three turns!

[ludwig425]

Bomber and 5 rolls? That's retarded. Buying tech as Axis is a bad idea, especially on the first turn. You are bascially begging the USA to roll for heavies too, and once the USA gets them, its game over for Axis. In general, its both fairer and more fun to play without tech rolls.

A good German strategy involves putting as much pressure on Russia as possible, so you need to buy only land units until Russia is destroyed. Don't listen to this guy--his strategies wont work against decent opps

[ludwig425]

Successful Axis strategies are normally focused on destroying Russia and involve buying lots of land units. Good German players usually abstain from buying navy, air or tech until Russia is destroyed.

[1nedward]

An interesting strategy however I think that after the 1st or 2nd turn you need a lot of replacement units for the carnage that starts off the first turns of the game. Buying just a bomber is probably a mistake because after your ground forces have suffered casualties Germany is left open to attack. they could just send a fighter to attack the bomber left in Germany.

[lPictureDatl]

I would like to disagree with the assumption that the UK fleet could not be attacked, I found that if you attack it with that Submarine in the Atlantic along with the Fighter in Norway and Bomber in Germany you will most likely win with the lose of the Submarine, you can then land the Fighter and Bomber on Norway, this means you have no threat of invasion from Britain this turn and you can focus all you're money on completely killing Russia fast with 8 tanks a turn (beats 8 men a turn...)

[FreezerburntFilms]

Youre a fucking dumbass your russian strategy blows same with germany your using late game moves on the opening turn y dont u go jerk it to a classic star trek episode and leave A&A to the real men

[ps4games]

that is a good point xxxx85. He does use a lot of bla bla bla in this video. He is not playing the game, he's instructing scenarios.

just my thought.

[dr0war]

holy sh#t man how do you play this game, do you just make it up!? a few rules actually make sense, but most of it is just bs. lastly, just role the dice, are you so weak you cant even lift up a few ounces!?

[Miketar2424]

I would not agree with the refusal to purchase a single land unit with Germany. They need a constant line of troops marching to the eastern front to hold back the great bear of Russia that is sending 24+ IPC worth of pure land units your way every turn. At the very least, match what Russia spent on troops and then buy a couple of dice if you like to gamble. Better still buy a fighter or ships to deal with the other two countries knocking on your back door.

[xxxx85]

Uhm... According to the rules "You can choose only one development each turn.".. I guess you play by some other rules since you say "now you can direct which tech-rolls bla bla bla..".
