Any way to make that work or would it just get steamrolled by Japan in most cases?
I would say that it would be a gift to the Japs, Alphakappa.
Plus I am not sure why UKP need another factory? They can struggle to hold on to the one they have!
Yes the main problem with an ic on Malaya other than Japan taking it from you is that there just isn’t enough money in the UK Pacific economy to be able to buy units for a second complex. India is already on a coastline so if you’re thinking of purchasing it to put boats there you can already put them 2 spaces away in sz 39.
Japan would really have to be almost out of the game to be able to acquire enough income to be able to put an ic on Malaya.
No.
It is very difficult to defend Shan State. If you can do that, then you can retake any assault on Malaya. All this assumes Yunnan is secure which it shouldn’t be.
I think a lot of players would agree that French Indo China would be better for UK to put a factory on and that depends on the state of UK’s economy. Let’s assume you’re playing the rules stated, then any factory outside India is useless because UK can easily be defeated by Japan. Now let’s say you play house rules and merge UK economy into one, then FIC may be better but you will lose that once France is liberated.
Hold on, if UK claims FIC, it will become part of the Pacific economy.
Did you mean US? ANZAC is pretty good too.
Did you actually read what I wrote?
It would seem not very well.
Absolutely not sustainable, except if it’s being built by Japan!
FIC, if under united UK economy, can be useful for UK. I agree with you that it serves better for Japan but once again, it depends on what Japan attacks first.
