@dawgoneit GERMANY ROUND 2:

You saw the stacking of France and bought appropriately. You also noticed the tank that in a prior game was able to cut off the mech advance. You also mopped up the battleship and sunk a French transport.

You have a small fleet, so the UK will probably have to buy a few naval units to stay on par. I intend to stack Paris anyway to force you to bring all of your mechs into the fight so they can’t blitz towards Russia just yet.

RUSSIA ROUND 2:
Germany hasn’t consolidated forces in too many places, and I don’t see strong reinforcements coming for a bit. With no Krakow/Danzig factories, he can’t deploy too much that will threaten me for a while. I think I will buy two factories for additional deployments and begin to create the massive wall of infantry, 30 per turn. After that, I’ll probably throw the extra money towards Korea.

ITALY ROUND 2:

I’m not seeing anything that concerns me at the moment. Italy appears to be heading West, perhaps into Spain. That’ll take a toll on your land forces. You will take Morocco, but what then? There is no momentum that would allow you to come back and take Cairo in a reasonable manner, if at all this game.

I don’t know that whatever plan you have in mind will for to your benefit if you let the UK go to the East. Even if it’s a long shot of taking your 6 transports and landing them on the UK in 3 rounds. That would be different, for sure.

FRANCE ROUND 2:
Nothing much to do, really. Wait for Paris to fall. I did buy 6 tanks and 2 fighters to make it hurt as much as possible.

@Whackamatt that was the worst rolling i’ve ever seen. i cant win like that.

Bad luck on a critical battle. I’ll tell you what. At this point I think the Allies will get the upper hand in the Pacific much faster than the European Axis can expand.

I’ll let you do the turn over if you opt for a different strategy. I saw some undo moves like destroying the ANZAC fleet (critical in my opinion) and taking Malaya. After which you could focus on buying enough land units and B transports to hit Borneo. It’s 2 turns from Japan, and the Dutch can only place 4/turn plus 2 hits for bunkers. With Davao and Tokyo, you can place 12 per turn. Focus on cheaper marines that are easier to transport and you’ll take it.

@Whackamatt that went better.

[Whackamatt]

YAMAMOTO ROUND 2:

Well the sinking of the Anzac fleet is always a great move. Really takes out the options for the Allies in the theatre. Malaya is a must have as well. Controlling that makes you the gate keeper of which navy can threaten the other. Now Thai is set up to do a land march towards India, without worrying about amphibs from the Brits.

If the goal is to crush the Dutch in 2 turns time (I don’t see how you could do it next round at 8%), you should think about how best to maximize the number of troops you can bring. Since your planned move will be two more moves out, you have an additional turn to set up. You don’t need to move everything as close to the target as possible, just close enough that they can be transported there on the second turn.

HOW I PLAN AN ATTACK
And to make sure you are GUARANTEED victory, first you need to determine what’s the BEST possible defense the Allies can mount for Borneo? I turn to the battle calculator.

CALCULATE THE MAX DEFENSE

Step 1, what units can they reinforce with? Start with what is there, then add the UK 1 inf 1 art, assuming they don’t do anything stupid. Are there any planes in range? Look for everything within 4 spaces. Nothing. What will the Dutch buy? Assume 4 units, with 3 tanks and a plane at 25.

Assume the worst. If you don’t, you open the door to less than 80% odds and possible run the risk of not taking a vital capital. If you assume the worst, then don’t see the Allies going for a maximum defense, you can then break off more units for other purposes. Don’t let them dictate the strategy.

IN THIS CASE, both the UK and ANZAC have enough money and time (because your assault is 2 turns out) to purchase fighters and fly them to Borneo. That means in the above calculation, you get the existing forces, 2 units reinforcing from the UK via land, TWO rounds of Dutch purchases, so 8 additional units, and the possibility of purchasing and then flying over to Borneo EIGHT (8) fighters. All of that needs to be in the math for what you’re buying and planning for next round.

The max defense you will need to overcome is: 32 HP with 94 power. Give or take one or two.

CALCULATE YOUR BEST WITH EXISTING FORCES

HOMEWORK: Run the math with what you think you can bring and see if you can defeat that. As a test, run the calculator and see what you think it’s possible to bring. Can you beat that?
TIPS: Try and pick up units from as far away as possible on the next turn, for instance picking up all of the units in Tokyo first before pulling from Kyushu. The reason is there are fewer transports that can pull from Tokyo/Chubu, whereas you have more options for picking up units from Kyushu.
For your units in Davao, DON’T load them on transports next round. Instead, set them up for a second turn pick up by marching to Mindano. This frees up transports now to pick up units from far away places to set them up for a second round attack. Have your transports near Davao go up and pick up units from Kyushu and landing them in Mindano next round.

Your existing forces I calculate as 32 HP 71 Power, 1 BB shot. You have a 6% chance vs max defense.

[Whackamatt]

example.tsvg SUPPLEMENT WITH FUTURE PURCHASES TO INCREASE THE ODDS
I’ve saved a file simulating what I think is the best way to maximize your landing force and uploaded it. Please check it out and maybe compare what you would have done. Let me know if you manage to squeeze out more attacking units then me. Knowing what you must overcome, you will need to use your purchasing power to tip the scales in the most cost-effective way possible.

If you do the moves as shown in the attached file, and purchase 4 marines for Davao (and have left transport there for them), your odds increase from 6% to 48-56%

Hmm, so what’s left? You’ve only spent 16 ICs next round on marines and have 57 left. Since you have a landing zone secured, bombers purchased via Tokyo can fly to Borneo and land. So next round bomber purchases will participate in the fight and may be necessary.

To that end, you must end with a BTransport next to Davao so you can purchase 4 marines (that attack at 3) next round, as well as FOUR (4) bombers from Tokyo.

THE FINAL MATH:
If you do the moves outlined above and
If you buy none round 3: 50%
Buy 1 (for 3 bombers in the attack):62%
Buy 2: 72%
Buy 3: 82%
Buy 4: 92%

It is guaranteed, even if I go max defense and you see me doing so. Nothing I can do. You must set up to take on that max defense, otherwise if I go max defense and you’re not prepared to take that on, you’re guaranteed to lose.

Also, keep in mind that if the UK does NOT buy fighters for India (but ANZAC still does), then WITHOUT buying any additional bombers, your max landing force has a 99% of victory. You still need those 4 marines though, or it drops to 73% without additional bombers.

If neither ANZAC nor India purchase fighters, then you don’t even need the additional 4 marines in Davao, and can buy whatever the hell you want next round and still be 100% certain of Borneo.

So that’s what goes on in my head for 2 turns in the future. I try to Steelman my opponents position by assuming a max defense and plan for it. If they don’t do the worst they can do, I get those “OH! Phew he didn’t do X. Now I’m relieved and can do this other stuff!”

Hope that helps. It turned out a lot longer than I had planned on.

Also, for future reference, I do the math 2 turns away for any frontline factory purchase I’m considering, particularly on the Russia vs Germany front, Russia vs Hisaichi, and at times a US island factory vs what Japan can bring.

As a made-up example, if you’re Russia and feel like taking the fight to Russia and are considering buying a factory for Kursk or Kiev, there’s a lot of math involved that should take you 2 rounds out.

Let’s just assume you want to place in Kiev.
• Examine existing units. You’ll end the turn with X units, and Germany can next-turn assault it with Y units.
• If that’s good, I look at what would Germany’s assault look like 2 rounds from now. I place, Germany reacts, moves, and buys, I reinforce and buy, Germany attacks. What does that look like?

Well, for part 2 you count any inf/art 2 space back, so anything in Krakow, Warsaw, Danzig can make it. Then you consider any tanks FOUR spaces away at the time you place your factory can assault you in 2 turns, and any mechs SIX spaces away could be called in to help. Then you look at the planes and assume they could all be used.

Third, you must consider what Germany has the money to purchase. Super tanks from Warsaw can make it, mechs from Bohemia, planes for further remote factories, and you get the idea.

Next, the same principal applies to you on the flip side. Whatever you purchase at the same time you buy the factory can be used to reinforce before that second German turn assault. So tanks from Rostov and Tula, mechs or mot. Inf from Moscow, Stalingrad, and Leningrad.

Do the math assume both sides go “All-in” trying to take/protect that factory. If the numbers show its guaranteed for Germany to take it, I don’t place as Russia. If it’s 50+% or more, I do consider it. And taking into account how the Allies work together, at times such factories can be “bait” for Germany. If you think about it this way, if Germany can only take the factory by spending everything they have on expensive tanks, mechs, and bombers, they will no longer have money for other fronts.

Sometimes the best way to put the squeeze on an Axis power is to do this on multiple fronts. On the above hypothetical, if Russia places a factory AND the UK deploys heavy navy to get the upper hand, now Germany has a difficult choice. If they go all-in against the factory, they’ve given up the naval arms race and run the risk of an amphibious invasion or the lose of Norway/Sweden, etc. If they spend big on the naval units, then they may never got the chance again against that factory. The goal for the Allies is to make every decision difficult for the Axis as to where to spend their money. If Germany tries to do both, it’s a more tenuous situation and they become more prone to bad luck at iffy odds for future battles. Throw in some additional US spending and landings in Europe, and now Germany is stretched even thinner.

The game is a series of tradeoffs. In the example above the Axis players need to recognize where the Allies are spending money, and more importantly where they’re NOT. If all the Allies go for German, then the UK will run out of money to spend in Cairo and India, probably defaulting to infantry if that. That’s when Italy should devise a 2-turn plan for pressure on Cairo and Japan should get aggressive against the DEI islands and south west China, etc.

CHINA ROUND 2:

Knowing that Korea has to pull units to attack Hong Kong, I want to keep being offensive. To that end I’ve purchased all mobile units to quickly get to the front. As I suspect China isn’t his main priority, slow infantry will be the most likely reinforcements for the time being. Anything deployed from any factory is a couple turns out from being on the front, so if I can wear down what he has and prevent quick gains, I’ll slowly win the war of attrition.

I had terrible luck in Anhwei, but the strategy is still sound.

HISAICHI ROUND2
Solid plays. His reach is limited so choices can be less than some other players. Somewhat of a defensive stalemate with Russia, which is better than losing. Korea has Hong Kong now, so it’ll probably be more units towards China than Russia moving forward.

India looks week. Russia can tighten up on defense pretty fast and respond to your purchases. If you choose a more defensive stance against Russia, make sure and keep a look out for mobile purchases. If he deploys 5 tanks or mechs and you don’t catch it and place 8 inf in Seoul and art at your advanced factory, there will be an imbalance on the front line in 1-2 turns. Those mobile units will reach the front before your infantry, such that Russia gains 10-12 units on its front line, but your slow marching inf arrive at a set 4/turn. Mobile purchases are what tip the balance in someone’s favor, but they are expensive.
