Exactly. This is always my first turn buy as well, and it is for about 90% of my opponents, too - and if the Allies haven’t destroyed both transports by turn 3 or 4, they are in trouble.

Usually I purchase an extra sub, not a transport. Of course, I would also have to do this with a bid.

TG is closer to the mark - you should send 2 inf a turn as long as you can… which will only be 2 or 3 turns.

Thanks. :)

if the americans are smart thayl take there ships in pearl harbor and ship them to fight germany.

I read somewhere that until VE-Day, the US was spending 90% of its war production fighting Germany & only 10%(!) vs. Japan. In a lot of ways, this is because Germany was a more high-tech and economically powerful country. With just this amount of material, the US production capacity was so great that they could attack vast island fortresses w/ a preponderance of well-trained men & planes.

Whoa, I do know that the US navy is the Pacific was very, very big.

Always save every turn. If you get bugged, just go to your old saved file and use the edit units function to correct it.

The point being if you are sending troops [Manchuria -> Yakut] and [Burma -> Sinkang] there is no reason to move into Mongolia.

Perfectly said.

Well, thats why I only do this plan if I see no activity in Asian on turn 1.

To counter this? Indian and Sinkang IC…

I expected more, I expected better coming from a European (Hans).

It will take time to erase the Cold War prejudices of the past.

sure, no prob.

Thanks. Im getting a few friends together to play A&A this weekend, and I want to make it more interesting, but without throwing any balance issues out of whack.

Interesting idea with the Pacific theatre. That’s probably the easiest way to lure the U.S. into a delay tactic. Probably still requires taking out Pearl Harbor first.

And, yeah, I know, I’m a pretty strict player. I play ONLY the odds on rolls (something my opponent hasn’t quite got the patience for yet; I’ve broken his thrusts at Eastern Europe and Germany countless times this way) and all. I just think there must be a way to position units so that the true intentions are hidden from the Allies, and he must respond. In general, I think this is the key for the Axis… having units (armor!) in position to shift anywhere across Asia, threatening everything at once… but wondering if there were other places that anyone could think of.

Yes, if you download it somewhere it runs very slow after a wile, the same thing happend to me, buy it instead online or somthing, its prety hard to find it in the stores now.

This would be better for the"Find Players" Section of this forum.

@TG:

having said that TG, you must concede that your sister’s “ill-fated” grasp at France must have exceeded your expectations. I think that move may be a telling blow for the rest of the game.

The sheer ignorance and luck in that move has left me dumbfounded! :)
Now if you know me and read my strategies on America, I’m all in favor of an aggressive American approach (Conveyor belt vs. ATB). But what TM was suggesting was suicide! Suicide that might’ve won a World War… what are the odds? :roll:

Also i think that you can over-extend yourself as Japan depending on how Russia and UK are playing and still get away with it.

I agree. But I think there’s something to be said for “biting off more than you can chew,” especially on J1. Remember your risky move into Sinkiang? :wink:

ahhh that was a lucky bit of rolling in sinkiang :)

Well I do admit it sometimes tough to land fighters from different territories after a major battle. The Battle of the Atlantic with the Luftwaffe is a perfect example of this. I this case, rather the assign movement points to each plane, I’ll probably let them land at optimal range.

Yup,
If (RR)UK hits KWA then it’s Dumbsville! Moving to protect AES with a strong force is a good move. Can not build as much but better protection!
