Japan’s rapid conquest after just 2 turns is scary. When I play Axis, Japan advances fast on China, but leaves Rus alone. I went back to prior games to see Japan’s progress. In my recent games, I move on India with large land force. You are advancing across Russia and thru China towards Russia. Rus can’t afford to send units eastward. With Brit about to lose Egypt, it can’t spend a lot to defend Rus. I need to consider all options. I will sleep on it. I like BM3 because Japan has to garrison every interior territory, which slows down its advance.

Ignore the marti dice, I thought that I was play testing locally.

I have several different strategies for Japan. This is a bit of a modification of one of my Japanese strategies that I’m trying. It does reduce USSR’s income nicely… :)

War is declared. UKP couldn’t stand by and let Japan sweep thru Rus and China. I realized that the N.O.s for UKP and ANZ were only for when they were at war, so may as well jump in and get the cash before you take Hong Kong anyway.

@FMErwinRommel Aggressive Brits! Japan has no qualms with the British empire!!

Ha, Japan would have taken Hong Kong before China was completely conquered. Asia for the Asians, blah, blah, blah.
I was excited when I saw the first round battle dice for Egypt. Bat Calc gave Italy 60% chance, not guaranteed by any means. I rolled better and you rolled worse than expected. But in a most unusual turnaround within a single battle, you rolled far above in round 2 and I rolled 0-7. Which more than offset the first round results. I was hoping to at least cost you a ftr or 2 and leave you vulnerable. At least the China/India offensive rolled well.

ANZ can be a big thorn in the side of Japan. UKPac & ANZ together made more than Japan this turn. That won’t last. But when the U.S. is added in, Japan will have to watch its back in the Pacific.
