  • Still surprise me most everytime Japan buys 2 IC´s R1

    Well i have done (usually do) a lot of “different” first round purchases.

    Im seeing a lot of new people here so you prob don´t know who i am or if im shit or not  :wink:

    But things that do work:

    4 figs G1.

    alt, 3 figs ,1 bmb with bids.

    or 2 figs , 1 bmb, 1 arm.

    depends a little bit.

    Also i have succesfully deployed the IC in WEU.

    Rationale is if your doing the “hold the line” tactics with Germany, while coming in with the save with japan.

    Mixes very well with the AF strat, and rationale is the same.  When Allied Fleet build up is to much to handle, retreat figs from sea, and let the carriers die.

    And it gives you a huge striking distance for the navy,

    Allthought a IC in WEU should be used in combination with a bif for a Sub in SZ7? (with the other sub in atlantic)

    For a strike on uk fleet on g1.

    Also:

    IC on Australia on UK1, combined either with a US build of warships on USA1, or a IC in sinkiang.

    This works best with a 6 inf stack in bury and 2 arms of to Yakut, and a UK strike on FIC on UK1.

    Australia plus z55 is not surprising to me. Australia plus IC sin but not z55 fleet is pretty surprising


  • Has anyone tried all Art for R1?

    I was thinking the other day that might be interesting to see played.

    I always, ALWAYS wanted to try a 6 Artillery build for Russia.


  • I will test it with you if u want


  • My style is more ‘tight’ than ‘wild’, but I’ve done:
    R1: 1art 4tnk (all in Moscow and Caucasus empty, if Ukraine doesn’t fall to keep Caucasus defensible)
    G1: 4inf 7art, also 8inf 4art and the usual 9inf 2art 1tnk

    Guess more frequent ‘reactive’ buys don’t count, like:
    UK1: 5inf 3tnk (when a large landing threatens)
    UK1: 3ftr +US1: 2bmb 4inf (when Germans fleet comes out)
    J1: 2 factories (when scattered UK ships are hard to beat fast)
