[variance]

A sub and a couple infantry would have come in handy.  I’ll remember that for next time.

[variance]

changed NCMs to prevent slingshot  :-P

[variance]

changed placement to prevent a 1-2 punch on west germany.  There I think that’s good.

I think next time I would build 10 artillery, 1 sub, 3 inf, 3 mech, 3 armor and save some $ instead of going with all tanks G2.  Less threat but more options.

[Witt]

Was unaware it was my go, sorry!
Can do Russia, but do not rush to do Japan. I am off to work in 30 mins. Will do big Allied go in the morning when Maddy is at school and my wife at work.

Sure.  I might be out of touch for a day or 2.  Flying home for the holidays tonight.

[Witt]

Well, I have some thinking to do.
Have never seen  an India crush. Well done.
Wonder if it was sending the TT to Africa and the DD with it a protection that has caused it.
Can China save or help?

[variance]

It was stacking Burma.  Nothing can really prevent an India crush; all you can really do against it is build infantry and either sit there or pull out to West India.  If you stack India you will die anyway, but you might get to shoot down a few planes.  If you evacuate to West India you can trade India back and forth with Japan a few times, which gives them more money (each time they take it they get UK Pacific’s income, plus they collect for it and the NO), but they don’t get to mobilize units there so it slows them down.  The good thing about India crush from the allies point of view is it can cost Japan a lot in other areas like the convoy raid you have going.

[Witt]

I do not play much and heard about it here on the forum, so was interesting to see it happen(albeit against me).
My hope was that I could hurt you elsewhere.
I did think you could sink my US fleet and take India. I moved the US fleet there  thinking I would lose it.  Would that have been a mistake for you? Trying to do too much I meant.
Will look in the morning, but am surprised you left me alive. I suppose I can only move two SZs and you can move and hunt me down regardless.
I also wanted to drop two units in Siberia, but the AI would not let me.
I thought the two maps were considered separately and war on one side did not effect the other. Is that only for Russia? Will check the rules

[variance]

It wouldn’t let you put troops on Soviet territory because as of USA’s turn, Russia was still neutral.  I actually considered attacking India and z6 at the same time, but I calculated that I would lose a lot of air units doing that.  The consolation prize is I got to sink the ANZAC fleet.

One trick I like (but I didn’t do it this time) is to build a airbase in Shan state and land all my planes there the same turn as I crush India, and move the carriers back to.  Next turn airstrike anything in z6 with those carriers plus I can mobilize new ones in z6 as potential landing spot.
