Guys I am black on this particular game. I have a strong frontline but Im not sure whether to attempt to take the rest of Asia first or try to establish a foothold in South America and take my opponents continent bonus away. Plus that would also enable a fairly easy path into North America. The continent bonus for Asia is 7 though. I don't know. Its getting real.

red has already won

edit: though that little asian expedition by red is amateur. waste of resources. that could cost them the game.

I'd cut across less fortified (Western) Europe and get at North America, take away that bonus and then cut down immediately to South America before Red can solidify the northern entrance on that continent

You might lose Africa doing that but you have Australia and you've interrupted all the other players bonuses

I like the European path. I think I may bite off the entire continent whilst keeping my southern flank fortified , and then leave significant presence in Iceland whilst massing on my eastern front and taking all of Asia.

Thats what I told them. Had they fortified Alaska it would have made life difficult for me to take North America that path, but they keep wasting resources trying to keep me at bay in my Asia northward push, when my armies vastly outnumber them there.

Btw, those frontline countries with one piece on them are those star pieces that represent 10 armies. Just to clarify.

the only way they'll learn is to get crushed because of it

ahhhhhhh!

Love A&A but I have the same issue. Had 3 buddies who played back home but nobody in Alberta I have met has even heard of it. Come over later and have a game.

I googled A&A and its basically the late game stages of Civ

you would love Civ 5, i guarantee it

yep

get a few friends with laptops and play it. it's about as nerdy as it gets sitting in front of computers but civ 4 or civ 5 >>> any board strategy game in complexity.

It leaked today so I watched Manchester By the Sea. It's one of the best 2016 films I've seen.
