I dont think Larry will make new molds for the existing infantry.
Maybe you could make a poll over Italian, French and neutral units ?
Grand Russian attack

first of all you are supposed to send a fighter to attack manchuria with. You will have more than a tank and a man left. Also, the uk attacks kwangtung and lands the fighter in china. How can japan attack china with 2 fighters and 2 men? All they have is 2 infantry for fodder, they basically lose. Russia can even land the fighter there. I thought kwang+manch is bad, but then why do the best players do it?

Supply lines are key in the Asian mainland area!!! With Japan being off the coast of the Asia she can easily send mass ground forces into that threater of war.
Then you might say fine as a ally I will build a IC in that area like in China or India then you risk the chance of Japan caputring it!!!
So it looks like to me that Japan has a edge in this part of the game.
However, that being said IF the allies build a IC and can hold it in either India or China then the allies will have a chance to stem the army of Japan!!
DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME :D :P :wink: 8)

I dunno… a combined Allied offensive against Japan (given that’s no longer possible with RR) can be very devestating, especially followed up with up with a US build up in the Pacific. With IC’s operating in India and/or Sinkiang, Japan has very little options considering it’s IPC base.

great strategy, the only thing i disagree with is the 8 infantry thing.

Inxduk has this correct.
Attacking just Manch with Russia is foolish.
Attacking both Manch with Russia AND Kwang with the UK is perfectly viable and does NOT cause the Allied front to collapse (assuming you win both). And yes, landing both the Rus & UK Ftrs in China is the way to go.
This makes China essentially impervious to attack…almost certainly leaving you with 4 US Inf & 1 Ftr alive on the mainland. With the Bomber going to Karelia, the US now has a mini-force to take on the first mini-force Japan can assemble starting on US 2.
And, no…you don’t want/need to build a US 1 IC in Sinkiang to support this move…
This opening is NOT designed to defeat Japan…it IS designed to slow them a minimum 2 turns, which it does just nicely.
TG alludes to a deeper possibility of a full court press on Japan. This is also possible, but often leaves Germany too large. You’ll have to be an exceptional Allied player to pull a true Japan first strat off…but it is possible.
