Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.
Global Rules / Set-Up??
-
Seems that dj’s previews have come to an end… but we still don’t have a clear understanding of how the set-up and rules of Global 40 will differ from Europe 40 or Pacific 40.
Does anyone have any definite information on this?? -
The setup is the same except 18 soviet infantry near the Manchurian border and one extra Anzac infantry in egypt

Not that I’m dubious… but who’s the source on this? Could you please link up a reference?
I’d really like to see the Global 40 rulebook scans from dj (if possible) for the sake of clarity.

Regarding the combined game. The setup is the same as regular setups for AAE plus AAP. The following units are added to setup:
Amur: 6 Soviet infantry
Sakha: 6 Soviet infantry
Buryatia: 6 Soviet infantry
Egypt: 1 ANZAC infantryStarting IPCS
Germany: 30
Soviet Union: 37
Japan: 26
UK Europe: 29
UK Pacific: 16
ANZAC: 10
Italy: 10
USA: 52
China: 12
France: 19UK must keep the money for the European and Pacific theaters separate. Calcutta is a “regional capital” and if it is captured the Pacific money goes to the occupant.
Order of Play
1. Germany
2. Soviet Union

They are different for the global game -
I played it. DJensen is correct.
