Good catch, BadSpeller. I missed the “on an island” part of the question, seeing only “within one space”. The planes don’t necessarily have to land on an island. They could land in any land territory that’s been friendly since the beginning of the turn, or on a friendly carrier, as long as either one is within range.

There are tons of people for the J1 attack. However we have played our last 6 games with Japan attacking on the 4th round. Even though the UK gets extra money from the islands it doesn’t compare to the USA’s bonus money. last 6 games Japan has taken India in round 5 every time.
Now we have played multiple games with the J1 attack and are about 50/50 on who wins.

Ok, so you have 6 ground units plus planes going up against atleast 10, more like closer to 15, plus an aa gun, and maybe some of UKs planes. Rock on, that is a good trade for the allies to make.

Let me put a little disclaimer on my ‘advice’:

If, at any time, your UK planes can die by landing in a territory and not take down atleast 2 japan planes for each one you loose, or a japan transport, DO NOT LAND THEM there. Also, if you can hold India with the planes, but not without the planes, LAND THEM IN INDIA. I assume a certain level of common sense to be applied.

@MaherC:

@zarnak

So you guys are taking a game that most people already believe is Allied favored, and making it even more so?

I pity your Jap player

In my second game Japan overran India by turn four. China lived to turn 7. That’s with the first turn income NO boost. Japan owned the Dutch East Indies for a good while. It’s income matched US/ANZAC put together and it was a nail biter for a good while with Australia repulsing attacks. He finally made a tactical error with his navy that allowed the economic seesaw to finally move towards the allies. With the DEI, China, and India Japan has an income in the mid-70s.

Besides- if China is at war with Japan since 1937 and gets 6 bonus IPC for having the Burma road open - and it’s open to start. Why not? And the scramble rule as is is not popular either.

Interesting to see how it affects the Atlantic war; I’ve always believed there should be a “killing zone” in mid-ocean which is out of range for land-based aircraft, but will the sea be wide enough?

@Kilukru:

Just noticed, the image of the battlestrip in the rulebook(p.7) is correct.

My new guess is this : all the poorly made stuff is because they rushed the game out to hit X-mas time and dinnt have the time to produce everything they wanted.

My guess is that they only care about their card game.
