Stalingradski

A barnburner! When you have a small one-on-one battle, you can do it this way… roll six (or whatever) of each dice, then line them up until someone hits… so, compare the first two rolls for each of us, the second two rolls for each of us, etc… it saves time).

I’ve made unit adjustments, and non-combat moves, as well as new unit placements. Japan collects 43 IPC’s.

A couple of questions and clarifications: I picked up 2 Infantry in Siam with a TT, dropping them off in Kwangsi, wanted to make sure I could move into SZ37 on non-com? Also moved 2 BB from SZ36 to SZ34, wanted to make sure I could move through SZ35 on non-com? And last, on factory placements, I had the thinking of the old way of placement, looking for optimal economical value of a territory. I just wanted to make sure that I could have placed a Minor IC in Kwangsi and not Kiangsu, disregarding the territory value?

Thank you Stalingradski for help on the above. And now onto the USA.

JRG1T2JAPend.AAM

Stalingradski

Yes - SZ37 is ok for you to move into, if you have eligible movement left.

Yes, battleships can move through SZ35 when you’re not at war (or even if you were - no surface ships there).

And on IC placements, a 2 or 3 IPC (or more + non-island) territory can take an IC. Majors are very limited now… Japan can only build a major on Korea, and everything else is limited to a minor. So, the Mancurian IC will always be limited to a production of 3 units.

U.S.!

Stalingradski

US 2 purchases Carrier, Transport, Sub, 2 Fighters, Infantry = 52 IPCs.

NCM, place, collect 52 IPCs.

The U.S. newspapers are wondering what happened to Hirohito, and who is this new General?

All materiel is flowing to the Pacific…
