Axis & Allies 1942 Online- Germany Guide [Complete Game]

hello and welcome to efficient strategy gaming today we're gonna be playing axis and allies 1942 online uh and we're gonna play single player mode this game is uh ten dollars on steam this weekend because of a discount so go and check it out let's create a single player game of course we're going to be playing as germany and there are a few other options here we're just going to do the standard victory conditions and the standard rule set here the other option that you can turn on allows for more of a tournament style [Music] play i'm going to show you kind of my strategy this game really brings it back to where i started uh war gaming turn one in my opinion germany lacks a lot of infantry it has a lot of good offensive weapons but it doesn't have the ability to take a lot of hits so what i'm to do here is purchase a ton of infantry because that's what i feel uh germany needs so in that phase there so you start off with the purchase phase now combat move you can't just move anything that you want you have to move uh combatants only looks like there's a russian sub over here got two subs over here i wonder if i can't get my subs looks like i can commit them over here to the battle of the atlantic here that's only one sub okay there's the second one okay so we got four subs attacking here and i believe this is a battleship so that's gonna be able to absorb two hits the transport is going to be able to absorb one in the sub can absorb one or even dodge combat [Music] and your first major problem here is the eastern front it's 1942 barbarossa has already commenced and uh you already have crimea so you have these three panes right here that you kind of need to defend against uh in russia as you can see here has a lot of good counter-attack capabilities so what i'm going to propose to do is take out leningrad first so let's go ahead and do that let's see if i can't get this tank onto the transport with this infantry and then we'll have them attack leningrad perfect let's get to the planes here i would really like to get some superiority out here on our western flank let's get that aircraft over there what are we up against we're up against one infantry over here so we should be able to attack with all three of these infantry and that should give us leningrad so we have a tank good chance of scoring a hit infantry attack at one we're using a six-sided dice to do all the combat rolls [Music] so this tile right here is interesting it's interesting to me that we have nothing in the ukraine here as well and the other thing that you could do is um you can actually attack into from italy here into the caucasus uh via the dardanelles which i didn't think was possible but let me demonstrate that here for you so if i put these guys onto the transport [Music] it's telling me that the transport can go into the black sea and deposit troops over here in the caucasus so that is kind of weird and i'm not able to go into egypt here because we do not have superiority yet so let's attack move with the battleship against it looks like it's a cruiser there and then we'll be able to get our transport into egypt so let's think about this here for a second [Music] infantry defend at two tanks three i think artillery is two and the aircraft is four this guy cannot get down there we're going to be fairly hindered in terms of our capabilities down here because we're only going to be attacking with essentially four units i don't think stretching these guys over to the caucuses is gonna help because they're really gonna have very little backup we could get two tanks and some planes [Music] hmm so let's uh take this order off so you do that like so uh and let's get the battleship out here i'm i'm not sure that the battleship can take this c zone and then help an amphibious assault so what we're gonna do is have the battleship attack with the transport uh just for some extra security i guess actually that's not going to work either because i want these units moved back across so maybe the transport is just going to chill so let's not attack into egypt yet these two guys are going to go down there and drive these guys over to poland we're going to have 10 infantry units here next turn so be nice if we could wait till to push them up maybe have the russians push into us a little bit that would be nice the opening move is typically going to be your best move the thing that you don't want to do is move outrun your infantry because your infantry are cheap and good to take hits it's not good if you attack with tanks alone because all the hits assigned will be to your more expensive equipment and you could say that for fighters as well you know if we really push this this guy can't get down there and neither can that guy we really push this when we have these guys land in leningrad i'm just not excited about attacking here with their five infantry we're gonna have to score a lot of hits just too many hits let's move our forces into a defensive position in leningrad give these guys a base of attack up here [Music] [Music] okay so just like i propose in my barbarossa videos we're going to secure our left flank at leningrad just want to show you the rest of the map here and then after we've secured the left flank we're going to sweep down [Music] and then take out the rest of the soviets can this guy make it up there yes then do so and the tanks can rush a province and end up you know can rush through an empty province so that's why this tank here can move over here these guys aren't going to be able to attack we could take out bismarck as well let's do it see what happens attacking strong in the atlantic here so these guys are in germany they can make it up there too okay let's do it see here what is this anti-aircraft okay that stays where it is all right i think we're ready to pass the turn just double checking that i did all the moves that i wanted to do okay round combat and we're exclusively on my turn no one else can act they can only act in defense okay so we're attacking with superior numbers here [Music] and there's a hit no response perfect all right we're gonna have those uh the infantry i just purchased defend berlin and everyone else is gonna be up here and we're gonna sweep across with our left flank being secured next battle okay this is this is gonna be a big one this is gonna be tough so these guys could submerge but i'm not sure that they can attack at that point surprise strike attacking submarines roll now dice okay defending submarines roll and i turned off the dice animation [Music] got one hit no hits oh oh okay so i have to assign a hit okay well let's assign it to the battleship since the battleship can take two hits they're done whoa that was a cruiser oh it was it was a cruiser okay that's okay cruiser's more expensive that was a mistake should have taken out one of those subs but you could see the kda there we came out ahead on ipc's ipc's in this game that's money industrial production complex complex i think that's what it is i think we're done but we're doing one here okay okay this one is a battleship okay that was easy and you could see the the two hit markers there [Music] all right perfect [Music] okay non-combat move more concerned about how many infantry are in each area just move all at once i don't want to leave these two infantry alone we really want to gather our strength over here in libya i guess everyone could move backwards to algeria if i think they're really that strong they have four units there i'm gonna have one two three infantry it should be okay [Music] that looks like that's gonna happen can this guy move back though no okay we might lose that transport that's okay [Music] and is this anti-aircraft artillery is it artillery or anti-aircraft it says flack okay this is what 10.5 centimeter okay that's what the artillery artillery looks like for germany only tanks would move to here so i think that would be okay if we just left those two guys in poland let's move this guy so that he can reinforce uh libya there okay we have to choose where the fighter is gonna fly back to they could both go back to norway or he can get to finland okay have him go all the way over there over the north pole shortcut and then i think those subs are stuck where they're at so i think this signifies basically the happy time when the subs were doing really well and i think 42 is the end of the happy time it's the turning point of the or i okay let's pepper these guys into a defensive position he could stay there this guy can just stay there bombers do not defend well i'll have him go there i guess it's a pretty good position nothing else to move okay in the face [Music] aircraft crashing automatically land the aircraft i better not lose that guy okay it flew him back it's a right click to get these boys down [Music] okay as long as we don't lose any expensive equipment we should be okay because we have plenty of fighters a decent amount of tanks should be enough tanks if we just replenish our losses and not take any hits to anything expensive that's going to be best for us okay russia did not attack us they did not move off the line it's interesting and this is the first time i'm playing against this ai i did play a little bit just to do a check see if everything was working okay so now pretty much the russians don't have the potential to put more ships into the atlantic probably benefit us if they did we could go over here and raid the coast of oh i get to purchase okay let's do purchase first we're gonna be losing a lot of men guys artillery for the cost is pretty good probably for every five infantry you should have one artillery and we are a little artillery light not worried about sea units not worry about air units one more tank i think would serve in four more artillery yeah maybe that let's back it off let's let's get to artillery okay so two of these guys are gonna have to be deployed in italy that shouldn't be too bad okay we'll end the phase it's looking okay [Music] combat move eight infantry over here and all these airplanes can help out as well i don't see any uh transports over here and uh oh they took out my transport there okay that was predictable [Music] no supplying north africa anymore all right so he's gonna have to go into there okay there's got to be a way moving these stacks all at the same time okay you just keep on click right clicking don't click off got it okay there is one tank here i mean we can encircle uh moscow that is something that we could do these infantry can only move up once so we're surrounded basically by all these combatants if we attack here we can eat a piece of them but then we're going to be surrounded by all this counter-attack potential and actually since they didn't move up we can rush our tanks into west russia let's get these boys going dude i'm excited that they didn't spread out their their units in the middle here we have eight infantry supporting us let's see if these guys will make it over oh those planes are so good in this situation it would be better if you had an artillery supporting because they can attack with the infantry with a two the two roll is so much better than a one roll that the infantry attack on and i think we just want to make sure we have enough offensive weapons that's all the offensive weapons that i have so that's gonna have to do there's not gonna be much else i can do about that they really can't reinforce here in egypt [Music] i could attack this turn but i think i'd rather have the benefit the americans have a fighter over here maybe i should attack this is risky it's always north africa is always risky business okay so one of the infantry attacks at a two as well if they attack with artillery so this could go against us it could go with us we'll see we're gonna have to score early hits down here to secure egypt kind of feels like you don't have a lot of units but that's all that i can get into the fight i guess i probably should have started moving these guys up oh god okay it's the sea battle first see what happens here i just need to score one hit on him get it all right that was easy easy enough they lost 12 ipc's right there it's awesome okay what are we going up against that transport or were they transporting the destroyer cruiser okay destroyer and a transport it should be able to take a hit okay that should be it nice dude i'm getting good luck getting real good rolls here wow this is the way it's gonna need to go if we're gonna win animations look cool okay so they actually hit what okay it's aircraft dang this hurts so that's before anything happens so that guy's off the board none of the infantry hit seven of these guys hit okay that's that's what we needed and the attacker can continue to attack which is nice so if i don't kill them all this turn i can capture this uh aaa gun of course the hits are going to go on the infantry as we talked about so they only have one more tank oh it doesn't look like you captured baa in this game [Music] goodness okay let's see the difference in ipc's here should be alive i wasn't that much i wish that had gone better that was a fairy victory for me for sure because they're gonna be able to counter attack here and wipe yeah that might be it boys [Music] okay here we go hopefully this will look up for us battle of the atlantic is going quite well though oh we got a hit on one of those guys that's awesome and he these two guys are attacking together nothing nothing we're so gone guys this is not good okay [Music] so i'm taking out the infantry that doesn't have the attack roll of two two hits one hit oh no okay it's not good [Music] okay so it's the fighter that's more expensive against the uh my tank which is less expensive no they all killed each other there's nothing left this is crazy there's a i have one infantry left in north africa okay so that was considered a defeat because there's no one backing it up non-combat move okay so he's gonna move up there's just nothing in here i can literally just move anyone around unfortunately this guy could get in there damn it so he could get in there and defend but if i get tanks down here it's on they really can't do anything so this guy can move up [Music] huh the transport over here is gone they must have destroyed it let's get one guy over here well they don't have transports yet and i we're winning that battle over here there's two transports there but it's gonna take them some time they're gonna have to get past the subs so let's cancel that move [Music] and i have no way of getting down here anymore [Music] okay so if they go into bella russia only the tanks can attack them okay gonna be supporting down here let's keep these guys where they're at [Music] just in case russia counter attacks me can they not land in this area we're gonna get murdered next turn dude yeah we're really gonna it's not gonna be good [Music] i'm not understanding what they want me to do here you've not read all your map notes algeria finland that's fine they could stay there [Music] all right let's get the tanks into [Music] germany oh we can actually go up here okay let's go up north i forgot that that was also one of the benefits of going into corellia was the fact that you have a factory here so that you're able to deploy units but it looks like we can only deploy two those two are gonna have to be infantry for sure okay that actually worked out well because i deployed all my units in germany or corellia [Music] okay the brit the british moved up into the ukraine they attacked me for one ipc loss [Music] really kind of scared of what russia is gonna do oh no wow us is really building up some units so we'll repair that industrial complex there we lost one fighter fighters are pretty expensive okay that looks better so that's five to one artillery to infantry god this is fun this brings me back i'm really glad they made this game because it just feels like the board game without a lot of the intensive like having to sit there and micro everything yeah they wiped me here okay it's a tough one but we'll take it we could move up to here we lost all of our tanks shoot they've got so many units here if we moved up we'd be counter-attacked just not in a position to do that right now when they got three up here in archangel okay they won't be able to attack me combat move combat move there's five uh units protecting there they've got a american fighter over here yeah i pretty much think we've ran out of steam here it'd be nice to go for this because we can actually take out the fighter but then all my units will be seven will be caught right there yikes now that i'm thinking about it maybe it's good to go one-to-one artillery with infantry like they have here this is a very offensive thing to do i just don't see an opening to attack without a massive counter attack and then we'll lose all of our expensive weapons but we kind of already have okay so they're setting up to to get over for d-day that's for sure let's keep this guy in libya we're going to lose some ground there [Music] i just am really concerned about taking out russia quickly here as you can tell so let's gamble oh this guy can go all the way out here huh and then we could also attack with all of our planes i mean maybe there's an opening to eat and maybe not actually suffer too many losses we'll see actually let's have this guy [Music] do an industrial complex attack right there can't forget about my subs okay that looks like a battleship for sure that's a destroyer that's not going to be good we could get over here looks like we're gonna use our wolf back tactics so we could take out their transport i don't know maybe that's what they want me to do and then we could try to take out that contingent over there let's go for it it'll protect our our western flanks for sure okay i'm pretty sure that's see how this goes here okay strategic bomber attack five wow maybe i should have done that from the beginning all right here we go no ones no twos got some hits on though okay so they're toast and what's funny is i actually needed to attack with this many uh things to ensure success okay okay since we only lost one infantry they might be able to hold out i'm not sure oh three to thirteen that's very nice okay so we have all these guys over here the fighters were gonna have to back off they could be attacked by this contingent here but the infantry defend quite quite well so we'll see what happens okay this is gonna be an interesting one battleship b battleship the two subs [Music] surprise attack first strike subs have first strike we got one oh it's just a cruiser god i can't tell the difference between the cruisers and the battleships that's not good okay so they got all those guys over to north africa and they're stranded there non-combat move okay these guys can't move but that's a pretty decent position wow we need transports over here to protect this real estate we could have just kited them we still can kite them i want to see what they do here [Music] these guys are pretty secure oh i guess they can move into there okay i'm gonna have to switch this up there any way to switch all of them up okay and they they have to move they can't stay in the ukraine you do have to defy divide your forces up here because if they take ukraine or if they don't take ukraine you want to be able to resupply them next turn so you need to move into poland here but likewise there's several you want to be able to resupply all three the next turn so always think ahead of course uh this guy could move back into egypt and it's actually too no he can't because it's not a combat round okay it's gonna stay there hopefully they don't attack here see what happens not read your map notes i guess the main thing that i'm doing wrong here is maybe too many infantry purchases you see how many you go through though right and we have plenty of offensive weapons we lost a lot of tanks that last time [Music] okay i wonder how many they got three for me oh boy we go all the way through i didn't think you were gonna no oh and they flew that in there that's interesting ah russia what you're kidding they took that wow this is very vulnerable though we should be able to take that back that's interesting they're going to lose all their offensive weapons but i don't like the fact that i lost a bomber in three fighters right there [Music] let's get one transport oh man we lost a bomber we don't really need another bomber what we really need is more tanks and i need as many tanks as you can give me [Music] so we're gonna take this okay these guys can take four hits they don't have a they have a pretty good defense though so i'll leave three infantry units back to decide what they're gonna do to reinforce or do whatever they're gonna do this guy's just gonna get pinched um this kind of has to be decided i was not expecting to do that this turn like is this guy just he can't do anything i'm sure if he's there he'll attack with everyone else right okay we'll see what happens there that's gonna be interesting i think i have four subs over here subs coordinated with battleship god that would be a really hard task it's hard for the battleship to see the subs and if you're in radio silence be extremely hard okay let's see if i gauge this properly okay let's press the attack the battleship took one and all my subs are in here i think one of those roles had to do with the destroyer i think they get a first attack against the subs but i'm not sure come on baby no okay we're pressing got one just pecking away got two all right let's see what they take from us nothing whoa we are completely winning the battle of the atlantic we're crushing it with four subs and one battleship that's incredible okay so i could feel pretty good about that those aren't transports ninety percent sure can't tell let's go to the next attack okay did i bring enough divisions here let's see what happens nine to five we don't have a lot of offense we only have one oh boy whiff one hit oh my goodness this is gonna be bad [Music] okay maybe not one hit on the infantry okay let's get rid of them one more hit come on no oh my goodness that really made us pay tanks in a defensive position are still good huh okay there we got it and of course he's gonna make us pay okay let's see if this even made sense uh 15 to 26 that actually was good that was not bad okay one more attack oh what that was the worst [Music] okay chip and chip and chip it away [Music] and [Music] okay barely clinging on to our offensive weapons here the uh fighter in the tank let's see if we can save him next turn on the counter attack yeah that was dead even that was not good if you're germany you need to see like they're paying two to your one or three to one that's what you need to have so i doubt i'm gonna win this this guy poor guy they actually cannot get into ukraine or bella russia i could get this guy in a position no we have a transport okay so i could get him into a position and maybe attack over there i don't think he's gonna be able to from bulgaria i mean he could just go wherever all right again got five infantry one fighter okay no transports over here yet so i think we're okay not sure these guys need uh help in corellia for sure and i'd like some more offense up in [Music] corellia could probably stay there god if he does that it's gonna take so long so we go up the baltic states take the shortcut to moscow one two at least our forces will be grouped which is always important i guess we go for these guys these guys can't really move so there's gonna be divisions that are deployed there next turn i'm sure it's gonna be interesting i guess he could move out there and we'll start the defense of the west coast i know you guys are screaming at the screen right now that i have no one in normandy so okay the one transport will be right there the five tank division so i think they can only take one tank oh we just conquered that so we can't get there okay let's try that hopefully japan's doing something to help me okay here's the dangerous one okay what did he do what did you do apparently not much they did not attack oh they took back the caucuses yeah they attacked ow that sucks hmm well we definitely need more tanks we'll have two fighters left wow [Music] okay nothing to build an industry though so that's nice kind of all over the place here so what are they giving me i could attack this and then he could potentially counter attack these guys need to reinforce first most likely oh they have three fighters here all by themself that is a huge no-no ai do you know how many ipc's that is that's insane it's gonna move everything up to here should be fine it's going to be a tough attack i don't have offensive weapons just go with the gut i want this bomber gone oh wow they have so much it looks like this is gonna happen no matter what so we'll just leave that there we could do an attack here with the two tanks that would be risky business you can only put one tank on the transport so this is not gonna work oh i guess he could take egypt though can you take egypt nice okay let's end phase one hit okay dude oh my goodness 30 to nothing ipc's oh my goodness that's the new strat right there get on the usa west coast sit there with four subs in the battleship it'll be fine it's okay okay so i brought so much stuff because these guys are gonna be hard to take out okay they're gone but how much damage are they gonna deal [Music] that was magic 30 to three okay now now we're farming this is awesome and this is gonna be another huge hit i think bombers are like what twelve ten they're ten ipc's so we'll see what happens yikes is what i was afraid of nice okay that's done okay could have gone a lot worse 6 to 21. it's pretty good okay so we made some major headway there these guys can attack in there fairly confidently [Music] if they return to a friendly area these guys can attack into there fairly confidently as well [Music] they got a transport shoot [Music] we come across with a couple of infantry should have planned ahead those guys can't move because they attacked they're just going to be stuck there so it could be it could go really against you as well [Music] and i guess that's it everyone's gonna move and then we're gonna deploy they need tanks up here planes can catch up pretty fast see if we can't um try to restock italy next turn i'm not sure if we can [Music] okay here's where the reckoning comes okay they went up to norway they decided to do that gotcha it's probably not a very good move on their part and then really it's going to be up to what russia does here they got negative four good for them they're just gonna murk me here they did okay so that was all pretty cheap stuff over here we have six to repair oh four okay how many fighters do i in my fielding for let's go for the cheap tanks and let's see the 15 infantry up here 15. ten got some offensive weapons they can blast through okay we're gonna have to attack from two fronts here could actually surround moscow but they could take us out pretty easily if we did that and they're coming from this area as well but finland divides us so that's fine um we will need two infantry in the north so that'll go into leningrad germany is going to need at least three infantry to defend over here and i guess that's all we could purchase anyways okay combat move and when i what i want to do here is group all my land units together [Music] hopefully we get a really good result here not sure if we will oh my goodness they just threw down two battleships oh my goodness we're gonna get just destroyed over there the two fighters could go after this oh man they got a lot okay i want good results over here i want to turn one kill [Music] they took out my transport well that's unfortunate we could attack here we'd be at a major disadvantage so let's let's hold up in egypt got one last roll the dice here [Music] they're gonna be able to reinforce i think i needed to take out moscow on this turn all right yes oh there are cruisers they weren't battleships i cannot figure that out okay undefeated 32 to nothing it's getting worse usa oh man that's the best thing that's the only thing that's keeping me in this game is the battle the atlantic is going well the us can't even secure their east coast that's amazing but i can't move my forces out out of there to do anything about it [Music] okay come on yeah we got a one okay three more [Music] wow i stand by the fact that i brought all those men that is annoying did we even come out on ipc's yeah we did okay so yeah i would definitely say attack in force [Music] setting a little trap for them if they go into belgium we'll see what they decide to do i don't think that the air can really attack into here because they won't be able to take the territory i think they'll be able to attack but not take the territory if they win the attack oh man i think i screwed up the uh i screwed up this up here [Music] can they get across no they don't have a they don't have a navy oh they took him whoa that's crazy we could take that back are they doing that okay they got 14 15 16 and fighter [Music] oh man it's gonna be tough oh man when you're in this part of the game in your bit you're buying that much infantry you are desperate my friend what they could go in there but not there okay one oh that's all those sneaky little guys okay so i should have gone into bella russia with these guys they could have helped at the attack god we're screwed there's no way i'm gonna be able to attack here there's three this is just gonna have to get incredibly lucky for us and i don't think it's going to this screwed me up i didn't count correctly [Music] there there all right this will be interesting to say the least they just plopped three transports in there okay and three destroyers all right this hasn't gone well for the destroyers we cannot retreat it said that is insane okay whatever 45 45 that's the only thing that's good right that's going well i don't know if this is gonna go well we're gonna have to think about not attacking if this doesn't go too well with 13 to go against seven out of seven three that's not good enough it's gonna be bad dude this could be real bad okay i guess we press on [Music] five out of seven okay now we're talking if i get lucky here we should be okay [Music] oh this is for moscow [Music] oh this is that wasn't good enough i'm sorry to say this is not good enough [Music] okay we gotta take out three here [Music] we got two and they got one okay now we get the overkill all right moscow has fallen we still almost went two to one okay that's weird i think they're gonna be able to take that next turn but at least archangel can now supply moscow yeah that should be correct and then we should be able to resupply into moscow after this turn [Music] okay so he's complanked and he gets one of my guys of course not good oh no [Music] okay that's what we needed to do and we did it we got a bunch of tanks in uh normandy here d-day averted better than two to one i'll take it england is just kind of stacking all their stuff here kind of like they did in world war ii non-combat move these guys can't move right okay i guess that's okay [Music] let's go to into bella russia these guys can't move just checking out what they have in england okay they're going to be able to counter-attack and kill that that sucks those guys aren't gonna move they can't move not a lot to do here of course two are always going to go into leningrad i think the leningrad move is so necessary [Music] see how badly they they get me here play mackerel oh japan's connected to us holy mackerel yeah what up i thought i was gonna have to take england too that's all you have to do oh taking hold moscow for a turn right we did
