Axis & Allies TIPS For Rookies [Part 1]

[zordathian]

I just binged your entire backlog having never played this game. This series is perfect for me thank you!

[petermenkveld]

I have spent many years being unhappy with the lack of analytical resources to give to people.

This man deeply gets it!

[gabrielheaulme]

It's a real pleasure to find a new video from you, thank you for your hard work, and please, keep on helping and entertaining us!
Cheers from France.

This series is the best primer for Axis and Allies I have seen to date. I would go as far to say that AnA players are not fully educated without having watched this three part series. Exceptional work.

[RealEeyore]

The mad lad is back! Great vid as always

Corporal Clegg - glad to have another video in your series - everything you produce is flat out awesome - love it!

[nolimit]

Dang bloody ole chap, When did you get over a Thousand subscribers, especially when you haven’t posted that much for over a year! And don’t think I haven’t forgotten that pasting you and Piloto gave my team the Last time awhile ago, YOU STILL OWE ME A GRUDGE MATCH AGAIN!!!

[James_Nicholls]

As someone who is still an A&A rookie, this video (series???) is an absolute gift, will be staying tuned. Godspeed!

[contango]

Good video Corporal Clegg. I'm disappointed in YouTube, it took a whole day to recommend this to me.

[phd_angel]

Awesome videos, Corporal Clegg. Thank you. You should be promoted to Captain by now!...

[declanrussell]

Im so glad you are back at it making videos mate. I know its hard to keep up with all the things in life and make content on top of that. You are a valuable member of the axis and allies community and I love your style of videos. Keep up the good work!

[Marinealver]

Maybe you can do a video on each faction as an overview and strategy guide.

[SemKeemink]

I thank you very much. These are the tips in try to learn my friends. But now that it is in video form I think they'll have an easier time to understand. Thanks again 👍🏻

I LOVED watching this video Clegg! Very well made, good examples, some history and true classy British humor. For
G40 (variants), tanks come in favour for certain nations when combined with mechanised infantry. Although this is not a beginners strategy I guess 😉

[Emanon...]

Great videos.
Just sent them to my buddies playing A&A for the first time!

[tommydenney]

I counted all the guns in g40, and while you think the axis have more, they don’t. They have better positioning, and after the first turn the axis may pull ahead, but on board at the start, the Allies have (slightly) more IPC value.

The more you know!

[mikedearing]

Economic parity sometimes happens, both teams having equal incomes, with equal dice and well matched strategies, the game can go on & on &... In this case, several turns worth of Japanese units are in Russia and the USA can be caught unprepared for invasion because they too, have several turns of infantry overseas and in Russia. Japan need only make a huge retreat to the Soviet far east, onto a boat and Alaska becomes the next tank factory, Japan should have near 30 units in Alaska as the new factory is built, 30 or more units awaiting transport from far east to Alaska. If the USA Atlantic shipping can be delayed, the western USA will become Japanese, a fair trade for most of ASIA

I'm a noob but watched a ton of games.

What often strikes me as the biggest mistake is * casually * buying the wrong stuff.

Especially fleet is overpriced, you need it to protect your transports or get an opponent to waste too many IPC on too much fleet. On the other hand, ships are cool and always tempting to get more off.

On the other side, I see players skimping on cost and buying onfantry when you can trade 4 of those for 3 artillery instead and have a much bigger threat. Just build infantry as much as you expect to lose plus a couple. In a game where destroyers or even planes are casually wasted for some minor benefit, the 1 extra IPC for artillery is just not done. I've almost exclusively seen people buy artillery to spend their last IPC. Technically, assuming you have enough infantry, it's the best value for money.

Tanks you buy for movement. Often they are bought when artillery are better, but sometimes the opposite. People just continue to buy troops to send slowly to the front (mostly Germany and Japan) not thinking of an objective. If you plan to take Moscow in three turns and it takes 5 turns to get there, switching to tanks make them actually arrive in time. Compared to fleet or planes, tanks are still pretty efficient.

Planes you use for trading territory, the added firepower you don't lose next round. In addition, they can attack fleets or be apart of them (with carriers) and have huge range and flexibility.

If you build fleet, the carriers are least wastefull if you defeat or chase of your opponent, as you'll still have use for the planes. Nice defense especially. Destroyers are the best fodder. subs are cheaper but can't be targetted by planes and are weaker on defense, so only build for the purposes of attacking a strong enemy fleet.
I like the idea of battleships, and repairing one hit for free. Perfect for a strafe attack. In an already big fleet they are a nice addition but in practice you'll seldom need to build them. Some may have a use for Cruisers (really loving the bombard), but imo not worth to buy.

What did u use on the planes it looks epic

[chrisx]

Where do you get the airplane stand (prop the plane up)? Thanks
