I usually use the Aussies to trade islands with the Japaneses, while building mostly navy with the Americans. I’ve seen an Australian navy used very effectively in a couple of cases, anyone have better success with one versus the other? Which is better?

@nebnworb yea they get the bit in their mouth and they can run all over the place. Little annoying things that if they don’t react and you can support, can really be irritating. Of course they can kinda do the same thing, depending on USA strategy : )

@WindowWasher Good day. Japan needs the income from the DEI and need to keep India on the defensive, not expanding. I agree with Awk others here: Oz can wait. Make Japan a monster first.
I have played close to 100 1940 games and don’t think anyone has tried to take Sydney from me early on.
Try it, but I don’t think it would work against most players here.

@BearXxx said in Island bases, with value over 2 ipc. ?.:

Can you build complexes on islands, with a value of 2-4?. Any help. ?.

No, you can’t place any IC on an island, as

Industrial complexes can’t be built on islands (see “Islands,” page 8).

(Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 22)

It’s not easy, you’ll probably lose most of China to the FEC, and you’ll have to start from scratch in South East Asia. You’re also giving the Americans free rein in the Pacific. It’s easier to take advantage of ANZAC’s low income to keep a small fleet in sz63, maybe conquer NZ and Solomons/NB, and keep them bottled up, while attacking Calcutta and US fleet.

Aircraft are trumping units in this game; they are better than their cost, more flexible than any other unit (since they can be on land or sea). They prevent the game from being like Risk; where only numbers matter and all the units are the same.

This is just like the sub rule, its to represent the overpowering advantage aircraft had and have over all other types of unit during that era. Not sure what objection that raises, except that they are OverPowered. Which is true in real life also, airpower is OP compared to its costs and that’s why they keep using it.

I am all for sinking the UK fleet on G1 and build the Aircraft Carrier. Then mostly I threaten to sink the rebuilt Royal Navy and Americans. My Germany never wants to spend another dollar in the Atlantic.

Sometimes them darned Brits do something silly and entice me into taking London even though we would rather kill Russians and capture Russian territories.

Maybe not killing the British Battleships makes it more likely England will do something silly like build tanks in South Africa UK1. I would rather not deal with all them UK boats that quickly.
