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.
China's Molization of new units
-
Had this situation yesterday…
India is occupied by Japan.
China moved into Kwangtung.
China takes control of kwangtung as India is occupied
Is China able to deploy its purchases into Kwangtung per the Chineese mobilization rules? -
No. Kwangtung is not a Chinese territory.
-
No. Kwangtung is not a Chinese territory.
So it has to be an “original” chinese territory.
China would however recieve the income from Kwangtung as India is occupied correct? -
No. Kwangtung is not a Chinese territory.
So it has to be an “original” chinese territory.
China would however recieve the income from Kwangtung as India is occupied correct?Yes, China can receive income from Hong Kong when India’s capital is under Axis control.
You can put questions in the FAQ thread at the top of this forum.

China does not recive the income for Kwangtung (or Burma) if you read the rules carefuly.
pg 9. Kwangtung and Burma are special cases. While they are not Chinese territories and cannot be controlled by China, Chinese forces can attack Axis units there and occupy them, but the IPCs generated go to the United Kingdom (unless India is under Axis control). These are the only two non-Chinese territories that Chinese units can occupy.
The prase “unless India is under Axis control” means.
If UK holds India, then collect these IPCs
If UK does not hold India, then do not collect these IPCs. (as per normal fallen capital rules)Do not read “unless India is under Axis control” and think it implies that “instead it goes to China” beacuse that is not in the rules.
Sorry if I sound like I have a stick up my ass but I have had a lot of discussions about this in my gaming group

The wording of that passage isn’t the best. While a strict reading of it indicates that China can never control those territories and receive their income, that doesn’t fit within the context of the rules on capitals held by the enemy, which would indicate that China may do so under those circumstances. This should probably be addressed in the FAQ, as the intent was that those general rules should apply.

Should definitely! :-)
