Japans bomber cant reach unless Godzilla will protect it after it lands. Japan needs it to take out Hawaii fleet ( along with other items). So Japan needs it to address the imbalance she faces to start the game economically. That only means to kill so many units that for a period of time at least, Japan can float and accomplish her goals in Asia and take the properties that will give her economic parity. J1 is about killing the units before UK/USA gang up (USSR too).
@DoManMacgee said in All the Russian openings: For Begginers:
Karelia: FTR -> Ukraine, rest -> W. Russia
Archangel: All -> W. Russia
Moscow: Tanks + FTRs -> Ukraine, rest to W. Russia
Caucasus: All -> Ukraine
Exactly. and the sub does not stack with the UK fleet. Germany wont buy a Destroyer early in the game and that sub can do alot of damage…Latter
On G1 you need that plus what is the point? LH rules are often used and USSR takes out the Bomber. If Germany still has one, its gonna kill more enemy IPC on G1 and its needed and not to be used like that especially if you only have ONE.
On G1 i only buy fleet and if its not LH setup, then i buy a 2nd Bomber. Bombing sucks unless out of desperation or you can overload the AA gun with 3+ planes.
Don’t like taking UKR, Rather i hit and run. I value the 3 tanks et al with more value to USSR then killing a German Fighter/Bomber. Heck those tanks are 18, the two planes are 22. For USSR it is close to catastrophic only eclipsed by losing the two fighters ( which i have seen noob’s going after the German fleet on R1, or defending in Karelia). I dont like bombing either if you only got 1-2 Bombers. Bombers allow a player the “reach” necessary to keep the enemy honest. Also, the 4 hit unit seems to mean close to automatic hits and a proven killer of land, sea, and air…
Just to help you in case your descriptions are supposed to indicate the official color nomenclature, because in my field of expertise i had to locate this info in the past…
Japan is “Burnt Orange”
USSR should be “Earth Brown”
USA “Drab Olive”
UK Europe is Khaki
Dutch are Historically a bright orange description. I know it sounds weird, but their is supporting info on internet for this. Will look
French are French Blue, which is an official color description
Not sure but the guy said 42.2 is default game if players disagree on game. But if they agree, any AA game can be played but i don’t think Global is played until the final on Sunday. ON Friday The War Game: World War Two is often played or another.
Took Japan finally 
the cost was high though. Very good air strike indeed!
