Planes cannot capture territory (only ground troops).  AND planes cannot land in territories that were just captured.

Nothing exciting...

Good call, yes I can see that working well!

I find Heroes and Snipers (of any nation) pair really well togther too.  Often your opponent will use a vehicle to move point-blank and flush out snipers.  But with a Hero in your pocket you can deploy and move into an adjacent hex to take out the vehicle.

The paras are another obvious pairing and you've got some of them in your build too. 

The achilles heel of all Japanese builds is always enemy Armour...

As an aside, what is your opinion of the Vet Fals?  10 points is pretty steep.  I think the SE Paras are still better at 9 points w/ Hard Charger.

You did it fine, I didn't have a lot choices...more guns was not the answer 

[must]

At 200 points you should be able to field 2 Heroes right?  As Japan's only Close Assault 8 unit, you must take as many Honor-bound Heroes as you are allowed.

No SNLF Fanatics?  Cant go wrong with a few 5/5 Hard Chargers uniys...

CoolStuffInc is cheaper, though I've purchased from both:

Time for me to take my lumps...Pass

Agreed.  The correctly-costed one doesnt have the ribbon.

Unfortunately there are several errors/typos in the new cards. 

It looks like the 7pt one has the ribbon?

You should be able to pick up some Panzer IV's cheap enough, and they can counter any Allied armour.  Though your PAK 40s rock armour too!

Why?  His King Tiger should have been able to take out your remaining tanks by turn 7, dont you think?

I placed my mortars and ammo dump in completely safe cover, dropped my captain in a town near his starting area, paratroopers by the objective behind cover, used an airstrike on his ammo dump and MG team (killing both and losing the P-38) and his sniper was left disrupted. my mortars (thanks to nearby commander) indirectly fired at 2 of his MG teams, killing them after failed cover rolls (that made 4 fails thus far, as almost all his pieces had cover). I retardedly forgot he put his 88 on overwatch and lost a Rhino during an attempt at a shortcut... using the assault phase to move, my paras took the center objective. My P-40 was disrupted by an MG, the King Tiger damages my Chaffee on the objective. End of turn 1.

My Resourceful Hero arrived to help my Captain hold the town and they both survived 4 point blank MG shots (the cap was disrupted though, and both made all 4 cover rolls in town). His King Tiger started going for the objective and got chased around by the Chaffees' attempts a rear attacks. The Snipers used their special attacks on each of my Chaffees and disrupted the undamaged one instantly, giving the King Tiger less headaches. My mortars and infantry continued to remove his as they advance for the objective out of cover, with all but my sniper getting a kill. My Chaffees and Rhino manage to waste shots and eventually disrupt the King Tiger. The King Tiger takes out my damaged Chaffee on the objective, everything else fails. End of turn 2.

Final turn... he gives me initiative, my Rhino rolls onto the objective, he moves, I kill off some more infantry, and he realizes he has no hope of contesting the objective and forfeits with a King Tiger, a sniper, and an MG Team remaining. I only lost a Rhino, a Chaffee, and a P-38.

Hey, what happened on turns 3 thru 6?

I still have Panzer General for the PlayStation.  It works on my PS2, so I can still play it   Awesome game!

I hope you will join us for some online play here.
