:-D
This game is all about trying something different, may not always work, but it keeps it interresting :wink:
It is my experience that no matter how great a strategy may be, the dice will still make you lose :cry:
Or win :lol:
So try anything, and just have fun :-D

I think every Japan player dreams of landing a sucker punch in West LA (making anime in Hollywood o_O), but it’s just incredibly hard to do so against an aware US player…I think it’s a one-time maneuver that may work if the US player didn’t have any troops in the west and you had 2 fully loaded carriers with 4 inf + 4 arm land in Western Canada and have 2 battleship shots as well, but otherwise it’s just another unattainable dream :-P
Edit: I guess it’s even worse than it looks because the US should have units in Eastern Canada to dislodge your forces, so all you’re doing is delaying his shuck but delaying yours as well, which at best doesn’t advance your cause.

Well, that game is over… I surrendered after UK4.
Still had income, still had SOME forces… but it was over. Germany would have fallen in Allied 6.
Tri… If you are up for a game while we wait for Octo to come back in a week…

Lol! This topic turned into a conversation between you two.

I had a game where I landed in California, would have won me the game if I could have held off his small tank army and fighter from Eastern US, but he knocked me out the next round and got some really good rolls and it was over shortly after.
I however will not divulge how I was able to land there, I dont want to give away my secret
-
Come on now, you have to share. I’m an avid Japan player myself. I wanna know!
-
There’s no real secret to it. From SZ60 you can reach Western Canada with all your transports (use SZ63). If the US player isn’t prepared for it, then he could lose California. If you are building normal amounts of land troops for your shuck and keep a small stack in Western Canada (like the 5 inf around that area that you start with) and just keep an eye on how many transports can land in Canada, then it’s not a problem.
-
Thats not how I did it, its really simple but I havent been Japan in awhile to try it out again
-
Well the other options are simply getting transports into range of California. There are a lot of seazones you can use like hawaii or solomons or SZ42 if you’re tricky. There’s no real way to surprise the US and grab California without them seeing you move your transports within a certain range.

I don’t really want to play a game right now, Switch. I’m engaged with someone on Triple A, and Octo will be back on the 12th which is pretty soon and I’m not sure we’d finish a game since I have to go sorta slow with school and stuff, and I think you’re biting at the chomp to duel him so I’d not want to delay that with a game right now which could last a couple of weeks.

Fair enough :-) My wife will probably be happy if I take a week off anyway :-)
Good luck on your current match!
