Axis and Allies 1941 Combat Piece Totals
I am still waiting to play this version of Axis and Allies. Getting everyone together is proving to be a real dilemma. However, in the mean time I have time to strategize and I have been looking at the game from every conceivable angle.
As you can see from the chart there are some major disparities’ between several of the opponents when it comes to battle pieces. Take for instance the totals for the Soviet Union. Compare these to Germany’s. Coupled with the facts that the Soviet Union only collects 7 IPC per turn, and it does not own a bomber. If that wasn’t enough its capital sits smack up against a pretty strong force on Germany’s side, I don’t expect the Soviet Union will last more than a couple of turns.
The United Kingdom and Japan both process large starting navies. Japan has a slight advantage over the UK in their infantry and the number of fighters they process, but Japan only starts with 9 IPC compared to UK’s 12. Japan has one industrial complex. UK has three, whereas two of those are located in the Far East.
The US is pretty well prepared, but goes last and will most probably have to make some type counter attack on its first turn. The US must transport all of the wares, whatever theater they decide to participate in. The US has the largest IPC count, they start with 15 IPC and can pick-up two additional IPC without too much trouble, however they may need to replace units they might have lost in the preceding turns of its opponents.
