<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>1) Yes, its quite possible to conquer London, particularly against the AI. It's not easy, but I've done it a handful of times in single player and once or twice in multiplayer when the WAllies got cute. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<t> I asked this in the World at War forum but it doesn't look like it gets a lot of views. So I'll ask here as well. <br/>
<br/>
Just some questions I have.<br/>
<br/>

<t> Just some questions I have. <br/>
<br/>
1. Is it possible for the Axis to conquer London? How about landing and holding the US? If possible, are these goals even worth pursuing? <br/>
<br/>
2. Is Russia entering the war or the US entering the war on the allies side inevitable? I think I read ...

<t> I'm currently leaning towards Gary Grigsby's World at War: A World Divided. Mainly because it look likes something I am already familiar with (Axis and Allies) and a few of you have suggested it is a great place to start. Thank you all for your suggestions! They have been a big help and have ...

Uncommon Valor and it's cousin War in the Pacific look really interesting but they also look about 10 times more complex than anything I have ever played before. I don't know if they would be a good starting point :S

<t> I've looked at those games:<br/>

Commander - Europe at War Gold<br/>
Gary Grigsby's World at War: A World Divided <br/>

"are you interested in any particular time/place in history?"<br/>

WWII. But I am open to others. But WWII is definitely more where my interest lies. I should add that I like games where the outcome isn't totally predicted. I'm not sure how much I ...

<t> I'll answer your questions!<br/>
<br/>
"Do you prefer operational or tactical level control? (or something in between)"<br/>
<br/>
I prefer more macro level control. Something like Axis and Allies. <br/>
<br/>

"Do you prefer a game with a moderate level of complexity/time investment ...

<t> I love playing games like Risk and Axis and Allies. I also played heavily Master of Orion I & II, and all four Civilizations. I also played a healthy does of Heroes of Might and Magic III. <br/>
<br/>
However, I am looking to get into wargaming. Axis and Allies is probably my favourite game ...

Are there any mods that make the sides more equal, more akin to Axis and Allies?

<t> I have just started playing this game and I had a couple of newbie questions:<br/>
<br/>
1. I've read that the game is stacked in the Allies favor and thus an Axis victory is highly improbable. Is this true? Can you "conquer the world" playing as the Axis? <br/>
<br/>
2. Is there an option ...
