If you land in Alaska, then yes. If you wait to get in position to hit Western Canada, then they only have 1 round.

Russia is more fun in the revised version. Buy 6 artillery turn 1, then a mix of infantry/artillery and the occasional tank. Russia mounts very effective counterattacks with the inf/art mix. The revised board adds two Russian territories (West Russia left and enter of Moscow and Buryiat SSR...

I'm surprised nobody else has posted on this strategy yet. I tried running Hollywood. This attempt proved more of a diversion, as the UK had flown 6 fighters into USA (3 West and East) by end of turn 3. However, having pulled back early (including returning German infantry/fleet to Norway) on...

Next time we play, I think I might allow you to "resurrect" 2 units on Underworld crypts to your earthly temples if you have the Death God in play (another reason to buy him) --- if you don't have the Death God in play, use the normal resurrection rules. Normal rules only let you resurrect 1...

You won't hold Alaska, LOL, though you will divert USA attention/IPCs your way. I have found a much better joint Axis strategy for "Kill America First" called "Operation: Hollywood" (by "original james" on the AH A&A board) that will give you a much stronger assault on T3, with collapse of...

No storage tray is provided. You're stuck with using ziploc baggies or salvaging a storage tray from another game. Risk Godstorm comes with a storage tray, as does A&A: Europe (the one I'm using). Pretty crappy for AH to charge $45 and not even give a lousy storage tray, IMO.

NC-17 is not for porn. NC-17 means the film is more extreme than an an "R" but it does not contain pornographic close-up penetration type scenes. Porn films are unrated or self-labeled as "X" or "XXX". To obtain any rating other than an "X/XXX" requires a distributor submit (and pay) the MPAA to...

Color Spray or Sleep, Magic Missile, Mage Armor and Shield are the only 1st level spells you need. You're much better off protecting yourself first, knocking out foes second, then resorting to magic missile if someone doesn't succumb to unconsciousness. If I could have only one spell, it would...

Somebody suggested buying all artillery for Russia on R1, and always buying a lot of artillery to go with your infantry. I tested this out and it worked well for Russia. Russia can't afford too many tanks, so the artillery (if you have a number roughly equal to your attacking infantry) is a good...

Tried GodStorm again 2nite (3 player game, as two player mode is broken). I had fun, but I kicked so much butt so early and so often and never lost a god (first time ever, plus first time I had all gods and more money than I could ever spend) that I think it colored my perception, LOL. Used...

As an alternative, if you move the North Sea sub to Sea Zone 9 instead of attacking the East Canada transport, you block the USA from attacking UK, and then only the Uk can get 1 tank from East Canada over to try to take UK back with Battleship bombard...

HolyWolfman on the Avalon Hill Godstorm board came up with these cool variants. Variant #1: For bidding...We wanted the "underdog" person to get a chance to "catch" up if they find themselves losing very badly! To simulate this we basically do this: Everyone rolls a 1d6 to bid (high die...

Had another idea (for both GS and 2210)... Instead of collecting income at the start of your turn, why not collect it at the end of your turn like in A&A? That rewards aggressive players while keeping anybody from being too screwed over from an epoch's territory loss.

I just tried a G1 Sea Lion (40 IPCs into LRA, 1 INF + 1 TNK loaded on 1 Transport, all planes and Germany fleet to London. North Atlantic sub kills East Canada transport. Mediterranean fleet kills UK battleship. If it works (around 76% chance), you've probably won the game. You won't hold Uk...

Thanks for all the great links you guys! I already mixed in painted 28mm zombie minis from my D&D collection into my Zombies game and made them "Uber-Zombies" that are only killed on a 6 and move twice as far for every point of zombie movement you roll. Mixing in other scale minins is fine.

Thanks, Bagpuss! Very helpful. I'm using them for my Zombies!!! board game.

Looking for high quality modern 28-30mm minis, like guys in trenchcoats, rednecks with shotguns, nerds, cheerleaders, jocks, military, SWAT, etc. Plastic or metal, the less assembly required the better. Thanks! I'm needing them to represent players for my Zombies!!! board game (instead of the...

EFFECTIVE GERMAN STRATEGY, ROUND BY ROUND: G1 = Buy 13 infantry. Transport 2 infantry to Norway. Take nothing out of Western Europe (on round 2 move WE tanks out). Move in WE 1 G infantry, 1 SE infantry. Take back lost territories in Europe, and Leningrad/Karelia, if possible. Attack Russian...
