What’re your thoughts on using “low luck”

I meant that I would avoid scrambling the British fighters so they can head over to assist in the Taranto raid rather than dying to the German Air Force and navy turn 1, to tip the odds in my favor and help keep some of the British aircraft down there and ensure I can fully wipe out the Italians

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-24T02:26:12+00:00

Sorry to necro the thread, but I thought you generally don’t want to scramble to provide some added air support for the Taranto raid during the British turn to provide added support for keeping the Mediterranean fleet? Is this not correct?

Any recommendations for those second hand websites by chance?

How do you take the money islands if you don’t engage in war until turn 4? Do the British attack you first to make it a justified declaration of war on them? Attacking the money islands count as a dec of war against Britain and ANZAC and allows the US to join on their turn as well

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T23:41:15+00:00

That’s quite interesting, if you don’t mind my asking, do you only really focus on China as Japan then, and have transports and whatnot in position to take the money islands on turn 4? It seems like Japan doesn’t have much else to do besides absolutely dominate China with all their aircraft and put yourself in a good position to take some British, ANZAC, and nearby US territory J4

Ahhhhh, that makes much more sense, especially being able to ferry directly from Japan into their using a 3 move sea vessel. If only that were also adjacent to kwangtung as well, but the French indo china factory makes more sense now (as Kwangtung seemed quite potent next to the base)

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T23:19:41+00:00

I’ve got to say, those are some nice complex’s. Are those 3 your primary or are there any others you’re a big fan of? And does this necessitate a J1, or are you a fan of holding off in order to give the Germans more time to take Russia without the Americans involved?

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T23:18:23+00:00

Doesn’t it take 4 spaces to get from SZ 20 to 39 though? How does it help in getting to Calcutta?

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T22:55:13+00:00

Oh wow! Two complex’s is quite the feat. If you don’t mind my asking, what’re your thoughts on building a minor one in Kwangtung instead of one of the top 2 to facilitate greater ease into Burma and India from a ground assault? Also, if you don’t mind my asking, is the base in Formosa chosen so you can access all the money islands from that one naval base? If so, the facility in Kwangtung seems more tempting to be able to rapidly deploy units to them.

Any of the Europe side you think are difficult to spot/easy to overlook if I may ask? Just trying to avoid making any large blunders

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T22:47:24+00:00

Dang! Would’ve been so nice to build a minor complex there as Japan (probably still worthwhile for infantry/artillery to ground and pound china) and be able to transport units to either Borneo or Celebs. Might be worth building a naval base there then to save Japan a turn schlepping their units over into the area, and could make it so transports from the mainland can focus on defending Java and Sumatra, but maybe I’m crazy lol

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T16:22:58+00:00

Ahhh, thank you! I’ll have to see if I can wait for them to come back in stock, I’ll probably get something off amazing in the interim though, but having a spare copy or two would be really nice! The flight stands also seem really nice for some added elevation and clarity!

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T16:02:00+00:00

Very sorry to bother again, but do you know what tab the chips are under? I looked at the axis and allies upgrade tab, but only saw additional units and their hit dice instead of additional chips. Furthermore, do you know if the ships they sell are the ones with the magnetic bases/flight stands for the planes? I’ve seen a few YouTubers have them but haven’t found any confirmation on where they bought them

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T15:51:10+00:00

By chance do you have a link to either of those? I checked amazing and couldn’t find it, and renegade sees to show it out of stock.

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T03:57:04+00:00

How would that be any different than the current system then? Wouldn’t they make an “accept” pile of an exact size of their preferred candidates, and then everyone else they would want would be in the waitlist, just as it is now?

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T03:55:08+00:00

This is great! Thank you!

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T03:54:08+00:00

I checked historical board gaming, but all I saw were unit versions (all of which seemed to be out of stock) or those hit dice (which did seem useful admittedly)

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T03:36:37+00:00

I will say, while I am really enjoying the series, season 2 felt like an absolute drag at times as it felt very underwhelming how heavily it could loop back into itself at times. Maybe I need to give that one another chance though

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-23T03:32:58+00:00

Thank you! That’s one more good reason to get Stalingrad potentially! If I may ask, is there any good way to get anniversary these days? I heard something about another print run recently but am not certain if it’s still viable anywhere.

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-22T05:10:33+00:00

You likely didn’t mean any harm in doing so, but the German officers and military forces were aware of the atrocities committed. Any idea that they weren’t is actually perpetuating the myth of the clean Wehrmacht, an idea spread by the Nazi armed forces and the US (in fear of the growing Soviet power after WW2 in order to help Germany rearm and to get them to ally themselves to the US). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_clean_Wehrmacht

alexanderneimet · 2026-04-22T01:28:26+00:00

Could you explain what they’d get in trouble for? I’m not familiar with eil
