“1) yes I do want to pick up inf from the islands… takes 2 turns to get most of them to the Asia mainland…”
Okay so you are going to spend 16 more I.P. than me and spend two extra turns than me to pick up a few infantry. Why not say…buy infantry and bridge them immediately.
"2) As I stated you have 2 inf sitting on nearby islands which can get shipped over to Manch in 1 turn (using 2 trannies, pick one up there and one from Jap and you can drop them both in Manchuria) So that means you will have 8 inf and a tank waiting to get shipped. While if you buy 2 tran and 3 inf (usually I buy this and an extra trannie on T2) on J2 you will have 4 inf and a tank at Jap and 2 on nearby islands. => 4 transports to fill => Optimal use… "
Lets run through this again. I buy 1 TP and 5 infantry on turn one. I move 2 Infantry from Philapeans and 2 from Japan on turn one. I then move 6 infantry on turn two. On turn three I move 6 Infantry and an arms. No two turn delay and more units faster. i.e. optimal
“3) You use your Russian fighters for offense (you start with 2) not your precious arms… Only if you are certain to hold the conquered territory you can use your arms…”
Two Russian fighters at 3 and a stack of INF at 1 versus a stack of German INF defending at 2. This favors Germany.
“4) Germany uses his fighters,bomber and inf to exchange territories. No tanks either… Wasting tanks on exchanging territories is just plain stupid.”
You won’t be able to take my territories with just two figs. Not sure who you’ve been playing. Even if you did, I can send up to 4 figs in response.
