After playing this a total of about 6 times I have come to understand that Japan needs a nerf. I am not saying anything drastic like losing a few fighter or a carrier or anything like that. I think they need to come down 1 inf in all the starting locations in China. I think the Flying tigers need to be repositioned as well. Everything else looks good to me though.

Helpful thoughts for new players!
I was racking my brain this morning running all the attacks that Russia could make R1 and came across this helpful little trick. I play in triplea and it has what is called a battle calculator. I needed a way to find out quick if Germany could counter quickly and wipe Russia aside. So what did was to counter up all of the forces east of Germany and I included Norway and two other additional units I then put them in the battle calculator and then I put all the forces of west of Russia and in Russia to see who won the battle. If Russia would win you could buy some offense, if they would lose you had to buy inf. I just thought it was helpful. Take care all!

RE: Need help with allies :evil: (I'm not a noob)
The other pretty common thing to do is to counter attack in AE with 1 Inf from Jordan and 2 Inf loaded on the India transport with it’s fighter as well. With only 3 units left in AE it’s pretty easy to retake. Even if Germany does do what is called the BIG 9 (all the bid in Africa) sometimes that even gets taken back. Another option UK has on 1st Turn is take Borneo and New Guinea. Both attacks are 50/50. Just a couple of things I have seen. I hope these you out.

RE: German 1 purchase
I do understand what it does look like and I have just one suggestion play it out. :-D I also bought 6 tanks and 1 Fighter and that won me a lot of games. I have also bought 1 Carrier and 3 Transports G1 and placed in SZ 5 and that won a lot as well.
To add to the fighters prowess each time you use them it is like using 4 tanks that if used right will seldom die. Count that up over 2-5 turns. I am not a fan of playing by IPC worth I thought I would just throw that out there. I am a fan of position. I think IPC’s are only a tool to fight with and not the fight :wink:
Thanks for the input and I will play some more land games to see where that idea is coming from. :-D

RE: German 1 purchase
I have been doing some different buys. Among them is the 4 Fighter purchase or a 2 bomber and 1 Fighter. I like fighters over tanks because the fighters have staying power. Unlike tanks they are very hard to counter attack. I think the best advantage to buying 4 planes on G1 is the threat level because it both attacks and defends at the same time. I am debating about what is best to defend aganist UK and USA landing anywhere. I am trying a few variants. Which ends up with Germ having 2 fighters in Norway, 2 in WE, 1 in Libya along with 1 Bomber. Part of the strat is to Take AE with just libya forces backed by a bomber and fighter. One then push’s SZ 13 with the BS and Trans loaded with 1 inf to unload on Gib. The placement of fighters still gives me a bit of trouble because the UK can move around a bit. I will also move the the SZ 5 Fleet around up to SZ 3 or Push 7 to force a response from the US to stop the fleet from combining. I like SZ 6 to or SZ 5 each have a power all their own. I have more to say but I am tired. :mrgreen:
