• I don’t think attacking Borneo is a good move for UK to do in UK1…
    it leaves India for the taking AND it lets G hold Egypt…
    (mostly one of those should be worth the effort)

    I wonder though, if attacking FIC would be a good move when UK plans to build an IC in India on UK1?

    this is:

    • UK pays for the IC
    • FIC falls smoothly? IC placed in India
    • FIC is still standing? I dunno. IC in South-Africa then?

    would this be a better way of pursuing the goal of an IC in India?


  • An India IC is almost always a bad move for UK.  It takes too much pressure off Germany and puts a serious crimp on Russia.

    Slow Japan down, and Russia keeps 1 and 2 IPC territories for a few extra rounds.  But taking pressure off Germany risks Russia’s 2 and 4 IPC territories…  Bad trade.


  • I was not saying an IC in India IS A GOOD MOVE!

    I was wondering if it was a better way of pursuing the goal of an IC in India?
    (some people just can’t play a game without an IC in India!)
    (I’m not one of those people)


  • Actually, it is a worse way of pursuing an IC in India…

    UK loses most of their units they start with in India attacking FIC.  They drop a basically unguarded IC.

    Japan uses their remaining TRN and counters/reinforces FIC.

    UK2, UK builds some units in India.

    J2, Japan hits India with 4 INF (2 landed in FIC on J1 that walk in, 2 TRN from East Indies), perhaps a BB shot or 2, plus a number of FIGs and a BOM.

    Free IC for Japan, and no UK forces left in the area.


  • @Axel:

    this is:

    • UK pays for the IC
    • FIC falls smoothly? IC placed in India
    • FIC is still standing? I dunno. IC in South-Africa then?

    I only suggested building one when FIC falls SMOOTHLY!!!  :|
    and again: only for persons who REALLY want to build an IC in India
    if things go bad? build it somewhere else, for all I care…


  • But even with a “smooth” taking of FIC, 2 INF via TRN, maybe even some Kwang forces, plus BB, plus AF means FIC is re-taken by Japan.  Even with 3 INF there (the best possible result of a UK 1 attack, and not at all likely against a FIG and 2 INF).

    Then you can still Amphib India, plus AF, plus any Japan INF from FIC in J2.

    If you are going to try an India IC, you need to STACK India, not strip it down on a 50/50 battle in FIC.

    we shall see if it´s duable switch….  (for reference check on going Switch vs Nix game)


  • Well, I just took Nix’s shiny new India IC on J1.

    Cost me taking China…  but I now will have TWO IC’s as Japan in Asia after J1, plus my TRN’s that I bought…

  • 2007 AAR League

    well But you´ll lose the rest of Asia…
    And your Trn´s will be hit by my lone surviving US Fig.  (but Trn´s are notorious killing machines so you might survive.)

  • 2007 AAR League

    And the comming US IC in Sinkiang will now become a real pain  (if you didn´t like it last time  ;)  )


  • But this time I have TWO IC’s already on the ground in Asia… and ZERO threat from the US in the Pacific due to taking no losses at Pearl (indeed, at the end of J1, I am only down 1 TRN in navy, while the Allied fleets have basically been destroyed)

    Also, I won;t let that IC phase me for too long this time :-)

  • 2007 AAR League

    this has become a matter of Honor  :evil:  :-D


  • May not be much honor…

    Most of Russia’s living troops are in Manchuria.  Caucuses has fallen, and your primary stack in West Russia is GONE.

    Russia has exactly 4 INF and 2 ART outside of Manchuria…
    6 German tanks are in range of Moscow…

  • 2007 AAR League

    these German tanks will be needed elsewhere, and no Russia will not fall next round.
    at the most you will get 5 Arm 2 Figs in on Russia,

    cauccasus is mine again, you will retake it (maybe)

    Russia will have at a Min 10 inf 1 Fig 1 Arm in Russia, feelfree to attack.  99.1% of the time you will have nothing left. after 10 rounds of combat.


  • Um… you want to re-calculate Caucuses?

    I just added 4 Japan FIGs to the German defense :-P

    I WILL build in Caucuses… and I can bring all 6 tanks to Moscow if I choose on G3…
    Muwahahahahaha!  :evil:

    :-P

  • 2007 AAR League

    Damn you……

    :cry:


  • LOL!  You did not think I was going to talk all those risks as Germany last round and not have some way to secure my gains did you?

    Don’t forget, when you do your Russia build for R3, you have a build limit of 8 units :-P

  • 2007 AAR League

    i know…  But you have no chance of taking Russia….


  • Actually, I had a 16% chance.  But I chose not to take it.

  • 2007 AAR League

    i got it to a 95.1% loss…  but it doesn´t matter since you didn´t try…
