@Cornwallis

Thank you for clarifying.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris

My next game as the Allies I’ll have a 14 IPC bid. Hopefully even without an artillery in the Far East the fighter and infantry purchase will work.

@AndrewAAGamer

Agreed. Perhaps you can add that to your warfare principles. From personal experience (I don’t play with bids so can’t comment on the beefed up version) I can say that if the Soviets intervene heavily in China, Japan is definitely at risk of losing their ground on the continent (doubly so if the UK intervenes early).

I’ll definitely try this strategy.

@Cornwallis

I can agree that the US splitting their forces doesn’t really work. Not sure who the overall question was for, or if it was for the whole group.

@jacobgeo24

No worries. I look forward to your gsme reports.

@Aymes

Assuming you’re serious:

Well, it’s an AI’s (one who frequently gets a lot of the finer details of more obscure stuff like Axis and Allies wrong) word against, you know, the actual rules.

In other words, yeah, the manual’s right.

@Panther @Krieghund I’m correct, right?

@gazza

You do need to make a new post in the “Platy Boardgames” subsection.
