I just finished my first play as Japan yesterday. And my 8 years old son who had no problems following the rules played all the Allies and defeated me.

Reading a lot how the game is supposed to be almost imbalanced, favoring Japan, it feels pretty odd to have lost as Japan against a kid.

So if any other new players read this, don’t feel sad if you lost with Japan!

Looking forward to getting better at this great game…

@ampdrive:

New Hebrides is a french island between NewZealand and Soloman Is.If Japan takes this when not at war with UK/Anzac/USA,does it have any political consequence?

No, just see:

@rulebook:

Japan may attack French territories
at any time, requiring no declaration of war against any
Allied power before doing so.

and

@rulebook:

France’s capital has been captured by Germany. As a result,
French territories are treated in the same way as any Allied
territories whose capital is held by an enemy power (see
‘Liberating a Territory,’ page 20).

Page 16 of the manual: “An island is a territory located entirely inside one sea zone”

Since New Guinea’s territories are located within 2 sea zones, it is not an island for game proposes and planes can’t be scrambled from airbases on them.

You can place airbases and naval bases anywhere. If any of New Guinea’s territories had an IPC value of 2 or more you could also build an IC there since it’s isn’t an island for game proposes.

New Zealand is considered an islands (pg. 3 of the Official FAQ).

@trackmagic:

I just got my game today and I was actually impressed with the quality of the “cardboard” pieces. They are laminated with some kind of a matte-textured rubber. I think they did a good job on this!

Well it’s a good thing you like them, because I think it is the new trend with WOTC. Being cheap that is. They didn’t even hire a proofreader.

@Brain:

Razor is a personality that Aldertag likes to use. It’s a Sybil thing.

Who is this Aldertag I seem to hear so much about?

@Brain:

Well I like the new rules anyway.

Just thought of something….if the global game has the USA at an ungodly amount of income then they could be producing too many bombers and then they could SBR Germany to nothing pretty fast. If that is the case then The new rule is actually needed for balance or it could get out of hand. We’ll see.
