Yes i really miss all of the unique rules these older games had to offer. Like the j1 kill everything rules, or the allies paying for oil rule in europe. Convoying was wayyy beter in these games, but the problem i have with it is that its not an attack. Maybe we should have the ships roll dice and whenever they hit, the other player loses money, ON THE TURN OF THE AGGRESOR! The problem i have is that by the time its the enemies turn, they have destroyed you fleet that was blockading you convoy. Having it be an attack would fix so many issues when it comes to convoying.
How to invade India A&AP
-
Well I won yesterday with Japan, but counting on victory points only. I was like 14 ipc at the end. However, this doesn’t reflect the reality as I almost invade India. I would like to know if you invade it with the support of your Battleships. I ask this question bacause taht is what I attempt but I failed and then my fleet was too far to prevent the America strike.
However, it looks impossible to invade India whithout these three shore bombardment (in my game I failed because I rolled three 6, yes three 6 !)
Anyway, having fail made me an easy target for America and if they have choose to take back the Philippines and build an IC there, I surely would have lose. So please tell me how you usually invade India. -
I use subs and my fleet to delay the Americans, while I Infantry push to India, always keeping a few loaded transports within range of Australlia.

The thing I want to know is if you use some shore bombardment (with your DD and BB) on india. Because every time I played, India buy only infantry and spend the UK 12 ipc on infantry as well, so by turn 4 they got a lot of people there…

Usually I try to take over what IPCs I can, and hold the UK convoy zones. Strat bombing helps too.
