Great AAR!

Trapp: I did not ask what I should do in a specific situation. I did not ask to be patronised either. I _did_ ask for costructive strategic ideas, and frankly: if the best one you have is to keep your opponent on his/her toes and to search the forum, then I am amazed that you even bothered to post in this thread.

I'm curious about what favourite strategies you (we) use. Personally, I'm pretty conservative, and haven't really found any viable axis strategies, except for seelöwe/Barbarossa, but that feels more like a choice than a strategy. I read on the forum about the LC gambit (wich is very doable in WiF as well), and started playing around with ideas. The most horrifying one was downright cheating! Simply DoW Italy just as they are about to enter the war, and before that transport two units to the emty cities, and Italy is crippled! :eek: I won't use that one anymore, since I tried it combined with a LC gambit, and Russia had just made it to the outskirts of Berlin when a Canadian army captured Hitler. No US presence in that Campaign! But have you guys found any cool angles/themes/strategies? Especially for the Axis, since I feel that even thay are more challenging to play (or should be) They are a bit straightforward in their options...

I must admit that I got a bit inspired by your AAR, and decided to try a game against the computer. Unfortionately i did't take Paris until turn 12! Back to the drawing board...

Tough start... it'll be interesting to see how this AAR unfolds.

Thanks for the replies, I'll definetely try it my next game. Cheers!

Hi! I'm new to the forum, and I've played the game some six or seven times, increasing the difficulty every time, switching sides and I'm now up to the hardest level with +2 in experience advantage for the opponent. My problem is this: I spoke to a friend of mine, and he claimed that Enland was _easy_ to take... Well, tht's hardly been my experience, perhaps I´m missing something. So, could some of the experienced players please provide me with hints on how to deal with the stiff upper lip? I'm so intrigued that I've actually abandoned my game as the allies (which is a sure win anyway) to start a new one as axis...
