    • RE: IS Kill Japan first viable

      Hi,

      so here is my Report: Well I won both games  :-D.

      1 game: They attacked the seazone of Hawai. I did your counterattack and they immideatley surrendered (Japan has no chance when half of their fleet is destroyed).

      2 game: Japan played more defensive. Germany went for a sealion in round 4. I made Germany cost this attack so much that they never really could get back to old strength. The USA  went full atlantic and shiped everey round 5 infantry and tanks (about 10units). We didnt finish that game but the axis players surrendered because they saw that they couldnt hold the waves anymore. Also russia was far from beeing captured (Japan was in russian territory but alone no thread for russia). Thx for your help. We play next time at christmas (this time i will play the axis).

      Hi guys,

      many many thx for your help. We play saturdaynight. I drive to my hometown tommorow by train. I will post on tuesday how it worked. By the way they really like to combine this japanese attack with sealion. I always buy mainly inf for Uk the first two rounds perhaps one fighter…. Again many thx for your help. I play axis and allies so long but i still have  to learn so much  😄

      Hey guys,

      thx for your answers. I will try your strategy and attack the japanese fleet. I just have one more question should i go for Kill Japan first in this Scenario. Or should i invest my money in the Atlantic? The upcoming rounds?

      @ShadowHawk,

      Ok they wipe out the complete American fleet at Hawaii. They are there with 2 Carriers fully loaded with fighters. One battleship, one submarine, 2 destoyes, 1 cruiser and one Transport.

      Ohh they only loose planes which Japan can totally afford because they move their planes from Japan and other isles or the other carrier in tactical movement to refill the carriesrs at hawaii.

      An american atttack on this flleet is suicide and gives america nothing even if they can sink some ships there is nothing left from the USA which is a Desaster for them in the pacific, because it takes to much time to rebuild the fleet.

      Also I thin they conquer Hawaii first turn (but definetly 2nd turn) but im not sure because its 3 months ago….

      To kill the Navy of Japan is the definition of Kill Japan first. Can someone pls give me detailed answers how i react to an attack from japan first round in the seazone of Hawaii. Also its not easy to kill Japans navy when they buy ships which they easily can. Especially when they do a turn 1 attack in the swazone of Hawaii……

    • IS Kill Japan first viable

      Hi guys,

      I Play A&A for over fifteen yeras now. My playgroup only plays Global 40 second Edition since it wa released because ist the best A&A ever (we only play with lowluck rules and no bidding).

      I have an upcoming game next weekend. I will play the allies (i play them alone so i have the full control). I have a huge problem.

      The Axis always attacks the USA on turn 1 in hawai and the philipines. My question is do ich have to react with kill Japan first or should i buy for the Atlantic. The other problem is sometimes they combine it with sea Lion. So i have do buy defensive with England which Wngalnd inefficient (mainly inf first and second round).

      Last time i tried Grasshopers spain beachhead strat. It didnt work because Japan got too big and totally out of control. And Germany could hold their homelands and italy long enough. Can someone help me how to react when Japan does a first round attack in the seazone at hawai.

      Also i need advise how should i play kill Japan first, because if the japanese player is smart he plays very defensive and he can do also a land offensive (its possible even if you play kill Japan fisrt).

      Any suggestions?

    • RE: Sea Lion is a very good Strategy for Germany if done Correct

      Ok i looked at the board.

      • Japan has three 3 transports at the beginning right?

      • So they can take phillipines easy without any air Support. They buy 1or 2 transports in turn 1 so they can invade hawai on turn 2.

      • ahh yes and the Bombers and one small battleship attack the UK battleship……

      Sorry i did a mistake.

      They dont use the bombers for the phillipines. I will look at the full board what their turn was. But there are 3 carriers definetly at hawai.

      @ Kreuzfeld. You are totally right but the problem is if i do this buys for UK they can do nothing for many rounds in Europe. Italy gets very strong in the med. The USA have to fight Japan. The allies in Europe  are getting a problem because UK is isolatet because of only inf buy and USA has to Focus on Japan (but you are right i have to do this buy for UK).

      @ Wild Bill

      Wel in the last game they didnt atack the battleship from UK (i know this is worth 20 IPC but thats another question for the later turns). They used the japanese bombers to help at the phillipines.

      Japans only strategy is to get the USA in a full pacific war.

      Meanwhile in Europe: The UK is conqured (if they dont buy defensive) or issolatet because of two turn inf buys. Nearly no us troops to help in Europe (because of heavy J1 attack from Japan)! Italy is getting very strong in the med because UK cant support the med (again inf buys)!

      Ahh and buy the way if Germany sees that the UK buys only inf on turn 1. Germany will Focus on other things but they buy ships and more aircraft to isolate UK from Europe (remember in turn 2 they build an airport in the normandy…). Also they sink the ships at Gibraltar with their fleeet…

      My question is can i focus in turn 1 only on the atlantic with the USA and what should i purchase and does the USA get the extra income to spend on turn 1 in the unit purchase phase or at the end in their income phase if they are attacked in turn 1?

      Hi simon33,

      thx for your reply. Why should i land fighters in hawai. If Japan crushes them anyway with coastel bombardment and so on in turn ? I mean yes the us has more money at the beginning but this would be a waste of resources… (Japan has enough planes).

      Your other ideas are good.

      UK in the West: I dont do the taranto raid with UK. I always put my ships to Gibraltar and i only destroy the destroyer and the Transport from italy so my fleet can move through. I have a problem to move the fighters out of UK in turn 2 because Germany can also do a Sealion on turn 2 (Germany purchases 2 Bombers and a submarine in  turn 1).

      But i think its important that the USA has to place their first build in turn 1 complete in the Atlantic. Thx for the advise.

      I have a little rule question which is not clearly descriped in the manual (as so often…):

      Can you tell me if the USA gets the extra money when they are attacked imidiatley on turn 1 from Japan at the start of their us turn to buy extra Units or do you get it in your collect income Phase (i mean when you can buy units on turn 1 or do they get the extra Money in their income Phase on turn 1)?
