How to Punish early japanese industrial complex, aka how do you even KJF in online

Okay, so you know about that other thread where I wrote out how 1942 Online makes KJF bad, numbers, timings, details, nice stuff. Then in this thread my last post I made the point you can’t “punish” a J1 Manchuria IC or Japan not hitting Hawaiian Islands fleet.

Well that just isn’t a lot of fun is it, you want to try KJF, then someone comes along and dumps a bucket of numbers on you . . .

So in the next post, I’ll write how you try to pry apart poorly executed anti-KJF.

But before that - understand why J1 Manchuria IC and Japan not hitting Hawaiian Islands fleet are NOT things Allies can just beat Japan up for, and why even trying can be dangerous.

First, J1 Manchuria IC. When does it go up, properly? R1 has sucky dice and/or bad moves, Germany smashes West Russia and does a mass tank build. The board situation is such that Germany intends to literally overrun Russia before UK/US can do anything about it. Then Germany reverses out of Russia to clean up its coast if necessary. Meanwhile, Japan builds an industrial complex on Manchuria why? Because that gets Japan one more tank in on a key timing. And you had better believe the Axis game develops real fast. When this goes off, Japan knows it is paying 15 IPCs for just one more tank for the timing, and it makes that decision because the calculations indicate it’s likely to be worth it.

Imagine what happens if US tries to push KJF in this situation. US has to fight off Japan’s huge starting navy and air and build a credible invasion threat against Manchuria. But if US pushes too hard and fast, Japan can punish any overextension. Yet if US does not push hard and fast, the Axis overrun Russia. What are US’s options with KJF? US won’t even be able to reliably move fighters to reinforce Russia from the Pacific as there just won’t be any safe eligible landing spaces. With KGF, though, Allied fighters flying off carriers into Russia in the Atlantic is difficult for Axis to stop.

As to Hawaiian Islands - well, I can see a case for the Hawaiian Islands attack in the board game. But because KJF execution is 1942 Online is so bad thanks to rules changes, I think a meta has developed where Japan really doesn’t have to bother with the Hawaiian Islands fleet. Like, what is it going to do (lol)? Bleed on Japan? Sure, it’s a chunk of IPCs, but just see US try to make something of it. There’s really not a lot it can do unless Japan messes up.

In a couple of Adam514’s games, he’s done an Anzac crush to overcome this limitation (vs regularkid and myself). 666 is doing one to me also. That does help Japan but losing China is really bad.

I’m confused why players don’t take FIC J1. Only costs 8IPC/turn for a max of 3 turns. Losing China costs Japan more than that.

Seems that if Japan can’t take either Sydney, India (unlikely) or Hawaii reasonably early, the Axis are in a lot of trouble.
