Japan 1 strat when faced with above…
Buy: 3 TRN, 2 INF
1. IGNORE Bury. Leave that for J2
2. Hit China HARD… Manch and Kwang INF, AF from Japan
3. Hit India… FIC INF, Asian AF, 1 FIG from East Indies fleet.
4. Pearl… Carolines fleet, incl FIG, sub, Bomber
5. Borneo Fleet… East Indies Fleet and 1 FIG.
NCM:
TRN 2 INF to Manch (via SZ61)
Move SZ60 BB to SZ61
Land all possible AF in Manch
Place:
3 TRN in SZ61 (You now have a fleet of 4 TRN and 1 BB there… suicide for small number of AF to try to attack)
Once you destroy the Borneo fleet, UK is down to 3 naval units, all in different SZ’s. US is down to their BB and TRN off Western. UK has lost India, and Japan will hold China, which makes a US IC in Sinkiang a bit more risky. US has 1 less FIG that can reach Asia, now only has Hawaii FIG that can reach Bury.
On J2, Amphib into Bury HARD (FIGs, support shot, AF) unless Russia pulls back. If they do, take Bury with minimal forces, and drop the rest of your transportable units into Manch (for movement to China, then to attack Sinkiang) and to FIC to sustain your drive through India to Persia and to threaten Caucuses from the south. Hunt down and kill remaining UK TRN in the Pacific, and any other units you can get (the TRNs are the risk, kill them and all you have to do is protect fleet, not territory).
You should ahve great success with that. You may get “stalled” at Sinkiang for a few rounds if the US builds their IC, Russia supplies land units, and USA builds FIGs there. BUT, the northern route should open up as Russia pulls back OR once you blast those initial 6 INF in Bury (and kill a USA FIG that got stranded there), and the southern route is wide open all the way to Africa and Caucuses.
Also, Germany should be rockin in Africa since UK did not re-take Egypt in UK1 and went for Borneo instead.
By the end of J3, Germany should hold 90% of Africa, Japan should be in Persia, India, China, Bury, SFE and Yak… UK fleet dead, and US bottled up on the West Coast. Then over the next few turns bring Germany’s Africa forces to Persia to team up with Japan, flank the US IC via Kazakh and Novo, and kill it. Re-take the islands you lost after the Allied Pacific units that are not along the North America coast are dead, as time and available units permits. And grab Australia and New Zealand after that…
