Axis & Allies: Some basic tips on strategy and tactics
Strategy at A&A isn't all that hard. But I still see plenty of players making some absurd decisions in the game, and I shiver, particularly when they are my allies. Here's the advice I'm always giving over and over:

1. Econ up first, then tech up. I have to see situations where it's best to only build one HQ. (Maybe on a tiny map with 8 players...) But even if you're planning to rush, 2 HQs seems so much wiser. I get annoyed when I see my ally build one HQ, a motor pool and an engineer brigade before making any troops. Sheesh. And unless your opponent REALLY SUCKS, you're not going to beat him quickly with a simple rush.

2. Grab and control cities. I see many players ignoring the cities during the game. Cities provide income, which enable you to produce more troops. Your team should grab as many as you can.

Use the recon infantry for your first division. It's faster and gets you to the town faster. Move in column formation since you're looking to avoid combat and get there quickly.

When capturing a risky city, place your infantry on the far side of the town, but still in the environs. The enemy will enter, but not be able to capture it until they eliminate your unit. Meanwhile you can micro your unit to avoid combat until reinforcements can arrive. This will not save the city from a large force, but it prevents a single regiment from capturing the city from you.

3. Use terrain bonuses(!) Heavy terrain provides enormous benefits to infantry. Keep your infantry IN the woods and cities as much as possible. And keep your vehicles OUT of them. Vehicles in urban areas take much more damage.

If you are fighting enemy and they are located in heavy terrain, immediately run to the better terrain; don't fight in the open! When attacking cities, don't engage the enemy until you are IN the city. If necessary, run past him to get into the city so you get better defensive bonuses.

If you are in key terrain, be willing to entrench your infantry to help control it. Entrenched infantry in heavy terrain is almost impossible to kill. Once it's entrenched, don't move it to go after stray units or you lose the bonuses. Use other units for maneuver.
Entrenched infantry is BETTER than a pile of bunkers for defending a strongpoint. Instead, use those bunkers to augment your entrenched troops, not replace them.

4. Control key terrain. Key terrain is defined as terrain that gives an advantage to the side which controls it. Because of the map configuration, this will usually be an area near the center of the map that controls the flow of the game. It could be a city or a chokepoint. Controlling an area like that gives you the ability to strike at the enemy in multiple locations, while preventing them from hitting your weakpoints. This can snowball, enabling you to spend more money on offense.

5. Keep your army fighting. Unless they are specifically holding a position, keep your troops fighting and gaining experience. Those troops are costing you money in terms of upkeep, so keep them in the fight. Fight, retreat, heal. Fight, retreat, heal. But...

6. Preserve your units. Success in A&A can be most easily predicted by your ability to kill off enemy regiments while keeping yours alive. Unlike other RTS games, units are not fodder to be used up. They gain experience and get with time, but cost money to recruit anew. Focus on killing off enemy regiments rather than causing superficial damage to lots of units, and don't lose your own. So retreat damaged units and heal them up, and avoid engaging in battles where you are at disadvantage.

Quite a few interesting comments on this blog but not much on internet marketing or promotion. Any thoughts? I know websites need traffic and getting it can be difficult. I also know that seo training information is necessary to succeed in any online business.

Have your fellow blogsters try The Online Promoters as they have helped me in the past. Thank you.
 
Sure, it sounds easy to make money on the internet but everyone knows that 98% of all online businesses fail to produce any type on income at all. For an easy way to succeed, I would recommend www.dreamry.com as they have their head together and won't cost you an arm and a leg!

Hi matey

I'm sure it was your blog I was reading a while ago where someone was after the name of the online marketing/promotional website that gives you free links back to yours and increases your website/blog traffic.

I asked the techi guy at work and he managed to find it - or one that is definitely similar.........and works!! The program is called the Link Referral Program 2007 and is free to sign up. Basically you agree to place a button on your webpage and you visit other websites to generate traffic for your own.

I signed up a couple of weeks ago because I have a website the garment district online store. In no time my traffic exploded and my affiliate sales have gone through the roof!!

The knock-on effect of this is my website has increased to the top page of Google and I'm getting more sales than ever before!! Don't miss out - Linkreferral.com -

Always pleased to help, the anonymous tipster!!




Remember to share marketing and promotional tips with your blog pals!!

Thanks for the tips and insights. I run site and blog for computer home business feel free to drop by and comment or swap links.
 
A pal of mine had a website featuring seo and he was desparate for more website traffic. He scoured the internet and tried all the pay-for software programs including Trafficseeker, Addweb, IBP and many, many, more. All they succeeded in doing was crippling his site's page ranking and cosequently he plunged down the google search engine ranking. He then discovered a new way of getting genuine visiting traffic back to his webitse.

The system has been such a success that he has upgraded his account and now refers others up to the program.

If you are looking for free website promotion, free traffic, free marketing, free advertising then look no further Linkreferral is here!!

My friends and I have scheduled a game bet basketball of Axis & Allies to play in a few weeks time and I'm looking for any advanced tips and strategies to assure sweeping victory for my forces. I've only played it a few times in my life and I've lost more times than I've won so any tips that expert gamers could give me would be great. I'll be playing the original, global map version, not the Pacific or European spin-off versions. I'll also probably be playing as Germany, sportsbook too. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! Focus all over your effort on taking Moscow in the first two turns. You're screwed if it doesn't work, but you'll cruise if it does. The alternative is to hold the line in the east and conquer the European sea spaces and run over Africa. Russia: Make a wall of infantry to keep Germany out and send some armor out to the East to drive Japan out of the continent. march madness Maintaining the wall is first priority, though. Japan: Shore up the stuff you've got in Asia a bit, but mostly focus on building carriers and ships and fighters and moving streams of them eastward. I prefer to go through Alaska, but I can see going straight through the Pacific working. US: Keep building and focus on dominating the sea space around Japan.
