Axis & Allies Revised (Dead)

[DeathNote]

Bomber could help with killing the BB. The rest pretty much looks ok. I won't stress the minor details and let you work it out.

Good luck!

Buids as probably 13 infantry

This would leave you with 4 IPCs left over, so if you'd like you can add an artillery or another infantry to that buy.

Use 2 Ukrainian fighters + 2 Belorussia fighters to take down the SZ 14 fleets (landing probably in S.Europe if allowed)

The Belorussia fighters must land in Southern Europe or Libya, since they only have 1 movement point left after moving 3 spaces to attack. The Ukraine fighters only move 2 spaces to attack, so they can then move up to 2 spaces to land - i.e. they can reach Algeria, Libya, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Germany, Balkans, or Ukraine. If the bomber (6 move) joins, it moves 3 spaces to attack and then can move up to 3 spaces to land - i.e. it can reach any territory you own except Karelia.

Take Archangel with 2 armies + 1 fighter from Belorussia

I'm afraid this is illegal, as Belorussia does not border Archangel. You can, however, use 2 infantry from Karelia + 1 fighter from Belorussia (for instance). The fighter can then land in Karelia, Eastern Europe, or back in Belorussia.


I will point out this leaves one fighter in Belorussia unused; you might as well use it. Even if you want to leave it in Belorussia, it's a plane, so it can easily join the Norway or Archangel combat and then return to Belorussia to land.

Building 13 Infantry + 1 Artillery

Combats

Invade Norway via amphibious assault with 2 armies in Germany, and 2 armies, 1 tank from Karelia

Use 2 Ukrainian fighters + 2 Belorussia fighters + 1 Belorussia bomber to take down the SZ 14 fleets (landing probably in S.Europe if allowed)

Take Archangel with 2 armies (From Karelia, typoed there) + 2 fighters from Belorussia

Libyan units to take over Anglo-Egypt, then blitz the tank to French Africa.

Conducting combat shortly.

Battle in Norway:

German Infantries:

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3, 6, 6) = 18

German Tanks:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

British Infantry (support) + Artillery (both hit on a 2):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 2) = 5

British Tanks:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[DiplomatDC]

<3 them rolls. 2 Infantries as casualties.

Shoulda used them planes for offense, damn. Sorry about that. Odds are against me now so retreat all units to Karelia.

Battle in SZ 14:

German Fighters:

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 1, 1, 6) = 11

German Bomber:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Russian Battleship:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[DiplomatDC]

Battleship down. 1 Fighter causalty. The fighter from Belorussia goes to Balkans, the others go to Germany. Bomber goes to Belorussia.

[DiplomatDC]

Archangel combat:
German Infantry:

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 2) = 7

German Fighters:

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3) = 6

Russian Infantry:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[DiplomatDC]

Archangel taken over. Fighters to Belorussia.

Thereby ends combat.

Non-combat I'm thinking moving Ukraine units to Belorussia and Balkans, while moving Belorussia units to reinforce Karelia. Ukraine's really a lost cause anyway. Also Germany units + S.Europe units to W.Europe?

[Thurhame]

Shoulda used them planes for offense, damn. Sorry about that. Odds are against me now so retreat all units to Karelia.

Since you used an amphibious assault for this combat, your land units cannot retreat. You must finish the battle.

Battleship down. 1 Fighter causalty. The fighter from Belorussia goes to Balkans, the others go to Germany. Bomber goes to Belorussia.

The fighter from Belorussia cannot reach Balkans. It only has 1 move left, so it must land in Southern Europe or Libya.

[Thurhame]

By the way, infantry defend on a 2 regardless of whether they have artillery support or not.

[DeathNote]

For your non-combat, moving everything out of Ukraine is obvious. Leave Balkans empty and stash them all in Eastern Europe.

There is no threat of him reaching Southern Europe yet so move those infantry to bolster France (Western Europe). Germany will receive a major reinforcement so put that infantry in eastern Europe.

Depending on what happens in Norway, I would say bolster Karelia a little from Belorussia as Belo still has a turn of relative safety.

You just need to consolidate your armies to prevent as much territory loss as possible while preparing a counter. Your tanks are very important and should have at least 3 infantry per tank. Next turn we can consider buying tanks to help strengthen your counter attack potential but it will really depend on how aggressive they are.

[DiplomatDC]

Land that fighter in S.Europe.

Finishing Norway combat:

2 infantry (Germany):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 6) = 11

1 infantry (Germany):

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

1 artillery, 1 infantry (UK):

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3) = 9

1 tank (UK):

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[DiplomatDC]

If you don't mind, that was a typo, the second string was for the tank. Presumably infantry casualty for the UK, I take a casualty as well

1 infantry (Germany)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

1 tank (Germany)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

1 artillery (UK)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

1 tank (UK)

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[DiplomatDC]

Tank vs Tank?
Germany

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

UK

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[DiplomatDC]

Annnd Norway is deserted. Oh well.
Non-combats to come a while later

[DiplomatDC]

Non Combat Proposal

From Ukraine:
Move 1 infantry to Balkans, 1 infantry to Belorussia, 1 infantry stays in Ukraine, all others to E.Europe

From Southern Europe:
All units to W.Europe

From Germany:
Move 1 infantry, 1 tank to W.Europe

Sound good?

[DeathNote]

I understand your tactic of using 1 infantry in hopes of scoring a hit but the odds are against you killing anyone with just 1 infantry. Don't leave any forces in Ukraine and it usually isn't worth keeping units there unless you have 3 infantry or more because they will be guaranteed at least 1 hit with higher odds of surviving a first turn wipe.

Southern Europe is a good move.

Germany move is fair. No reason not too.

[Thurhame]

Have you played Risk before? Your mindset so far seems similar to a Risk mindset.

This game is very different from Risk: In Risk, a unit is worth pretty much the same anywhere. However, in this game a lone unit is worth far, far less than a unit that's part of an army.

[DiplomatDC]

I'm more worried about tank blitzes if I leave Ukriane completely empty, then again, not exactly a good move for the Russian either. I'll move the last infantry to E.Europe then? (I'll check in 7 hours to await reply and confirm)

[DeathNote]

Yeah Tank blitz would mean Russia giving up whatever tanks went in. You could easily kill them.

[DiplomatDC]

Confirming I'm moving my army to E.Europe.

[DiplomatDC]

Place all my units in Germany, I suppose? DN will that be alright?

[DeathNote]

Yes Germany is the most central and you can distribute them from there.

[Thurhame]

Germany has a production value of 10, so you can only place up to ten units there. The other four must be placed elsewhere (i.e. Southern Europe).

[DeathNote]

He is obviously going to do that so you can just proceed assuming he will.
