A strategy to get right in Japan’s face is to build an industry and naval base in Alaska. A strong fleet positioned in SZ1 is an immediate threat to SZ6 and can receive reinforcements directly. To create a highway to be able to help ANZAC and get to the DEI quickly, build a naval base in Johnston Island. Establish Allied control of Dutch New Guinea and build a naval base there. This extends the highway to India and allows (potentially unopposed) amphibious landings in China. It should also tie up Japan in the DEI and make it commit units to defend the Philippines. If Japan can’t commit enough units against China or India the latter will start winning on that front in which case Japanese defeat is inevitable.
When does the US recieve the extra 40 IPC?
-
Is it before they buy new troops on the first round after they have been declared war upon? Or is it at he end of that turn?
For instance if Japan declares war on round 1, will the US start their round 1 with 17 or 57 IPCs? -
At the collect income phase at the end of US1, so they will always have 17 to spend at the beginning of their 1st go.
