I see you took a defensive posture

Yes, thought I could stack Yunnan with Chinese and Indian units and cause Japan trouble, but when I looked again at the numbers it seemed like it would be worth it for Japan to destroy them and then dominate that corner of Asia. Whenever I’m Japan, my opponent cause my constant trouble with UK DOW or big stacks in Yunnan, I haven’t been able to work it out though.

@flyingbadger this is only my second time playing axis in path to victory. Last game I just totally gave up China but then my income suffered.

In my very limited experience, holding Yunnan seems very important. It seems a very good position, if China can recapure it they get extra IPCs and if they hold it at the start then they can build artillery, which means they can threaten on offense. Otherwise it seems that Japan is better to just do enough to prevent China becoming a problem, especially with so many other objectives to acheive. Obviously I could be completely wrong. Certainly if Japan can threaten Russia’s rear by pushing through China it really changes the Eastern front for Germany.

you must have miss calculated. I have over 80% odds in Smolensk. If you land your planes in Smolensk instead of Moscow my odds drop to 40%. But you also have other options to get your units back to Moscow. Pls reconsider Russia’s NCMs

[max334]

oh, my bad. I totally forgot about the land scramble. I see that you can scramble those three planes. But remember, if I attack I have the option of retreating, but you probably already considered all that

[FlyingBadger]

I hadn’t considered that… thanks for the opportunity to review and lesson to learn, I’ll take a look.

[FlyingBadger]

Is the thinking:

• Attack Bryansk with Italian 1 armour and 1 bomber against 1 infantry and 3 plane scramble to clear infantry from Bryansk
• Attack Smolensk with Germany with 1 armour looping through Bryansk, retreat after 1 round to Bryansk

Not sure what I’ll do in Russia, my mind has gone to the Pacific for now. But feel free to edit your defenses if you see something better

I’ve been so far on my heels with China and causing such little trouble it worked in my favour!

No problem.

The Russians are conducting a special military operation in Korea and Manchuria, nothing you need to worry about.

@flyingbadger of course… by all means… let me move some of my units further south to give you guys more room
