Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.

Yea, and instead of
Alpha
Alpha +
Alpha +.1
Alpha +.2
Alpha +.2aJust call it
Beta
Ceta
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Gammaetc Get it done!
I believe the correct NATO Phonetic Alphabet designations are:
NATO Letter phonetic letter
A Alpha
B Bravo
C Charlie
D Delta
E Echo
F Foxtrot
G Golf
H Hotel
I India
J Juliet
K Kilo
L Lima
M Mike
N November

I don’t even think Ceta is a word

No it is not, Ceti is and SATA is an acronym :-D

Those were the designations from X-wing. Alpha Beta Ceta etc are greek designations.
It doesn’t really matter, the point was that the setups should have different names, instead of + - . 1 2 3 revisions numbers, since they are inherently different.
Which comes first? Alpha + or - .1?
-
There is no greek letter called ceta.
-
Alright kids just kiss and have makeup sex then get back on topic please.
Wait, don’t… I already put an end to this discussion quite effectively.

So that I may quote myself.

Yes there is a designation ceta, and it is a word. I never said it was a letter.
It is also the name of the name of the mountain Hercules climbs, builds an altar on, and burns himself to death at.
So beat it punks. And tell Larry to get his sht show together.

AA1942 was a finished rulebook. Everything was clear.
Now the game is evolving with air and naval bases, scramble, sneakattack, kamikase, new rules for neutrals, new canals, new tac bombers, new light infantry, new dog fights…
This is good, the game is evolving.
**Lets start thinking about:
-
tech trees specific to each power
-
fuel, amunition, food to supply to troops and warcraft**
-
-
New Canals? New rules for nuetrals?
-
new canals controled from land - Gibraltar, turquey, denmark
nem rules for neutrals(in comparison to aa1942)

I agree. I do not use Alpha in any way, shape, or fashion, although I also sometimes do a bid and I make Italy neutral until its 1st turn, otherwise, I don’t do anything else. Thank you IL for coming up with the Italy neutral idea.

Dude, Italy being neutral on the first round is an awesome idea. Italy officially didn’t enter the war until June 10, 1940. If we consider the invasion of Paris occurring on June 5 by the German forces, and all the turns are effectively happening simutaneously, then Italy has the OPTION to declare war on its turn, starting the game neutral to the Allies. Brilliant.
(Though 5 days is a bit of a stretch considering each turn in game represents 3 months…)
