What to do with Japan

[Jennifer]

If America’s going full in Pacific, you’re doomed anyway.  May as well make life as easy for Germany as you can and slow the Americans with all your builds.  It shouldn’t take TOO much to weaken Russia and allow the Germans to get 8 VCs…you just have to make it possible before round 12, otherwise, ti’s too late.

hm I think speed is the main point for any axis strategy.
In this case with the Major IC in Korea, should Germany attack Russia on Turn 1? Because normally I attack on turn 2 when I have my troops together on the eastern front.

I think not, because a G1 attack is pretty much (read: basically always) a bad idea.

Whatever you manage to put into those first border territories will die immediately, Germany is making less money (no peace NO), Russia is making more money, Russia can go into the Middle East, and UK has no Sealion threat at all, and can plow into Italy and France starting round 1.

You’re right in that a G2 attack is a much better idea.
