The ‘Sub Stall’ is an old rule, that’s about transports not being able to load from a seazone that has “submerged” submarines in it.

@gnasape:

I think it might also have to do with the additional rules/exceptions not found in other AA games such as CAPS, airfields, naval bases, Japan’s first round attack on US forces (defending at 1).

According to the user manual Allied units (both Commonwealth and Us forces,…not only Us forces) may defend only with a roll of 1. Of course, any attacks made in Chinese territory are defended by rolling at full strength.

Nice chart Krieghund.  :-)

Hello there!

I’m sure Japan alomost always wins when going for 22 VP’s.

I wonder myself what to do with allies to avoid that very same ending.

It sounds very interesting to me what u said about Subs and substall.

Could u explain?

I suppose u mean US subs should try to substall Japan fleet/s while conquering

and island to go bombing Japan.

Is it?

Thanks for u’r attention,

I hope for a kind answering

Best whishes, Stefanilli ; )

pacific. europe turns into infantry push also, Navies are cool!!!

what if after a certian number of turns russia went to war agansit japan (germany is defeted)

I just realized I was quite inexperienced when I first replied here. I’ve since switched to a somewhat more boring, yet rather intense, strategy for taking India. I nab as much in the northern dutch east indies that is of value, while cutting convoy routes and killing as much enemy navy as possible. I then move as many troops into southeast asia as possible (taking the offensive forces from Manchuria and Shantung as well) and continuously build infantry with perhaps some artillery and fighters; these all, of course, will be sent into French indo-china at the earliest possible convience. It is quite important to ignore China (possibly advancing in the north if the oppertunity presents itself) and to consolidate most of the navy in the central Pacific (perhaps some destroyers with the transports to protect against wayward enemy ships). we’ll see how unreliable this will be after being exposed to my play group for a few months.
