I have not played Japan very often but I am not one to hit the US right off. I like to secure China and the DEI first. Cripple or take India and pressure the ANZAC’s is next while harrassing the US with landings in Alaska and the Philipeans. Alaska doesn’t really mean that much but most US palyers will not want Japanese forces in North America. Once Japan’s IPC level is up and I can build more capitol ships and planes, that is when I move to really hit the US fleet. An Aggressive US player will make this stratagy much harder to pull off though. the game I am currently playing, the Japan player did hit the Hawaiian fleet on round one and took it on round two. The US player has been so focused on the Japan player that the Italians have taken Brazil and the Germans have landed in the West Indies and convoy raided the east coast of the US. Britain has had no help and is barely hanging on. The round 1 DOW can work if you have the right kind of player in position. To give the US player credit, he has begun to make some better playes and is pushing back but he is having to regain alot of lost ground which really help the axis players be more aggressive.
Alpha Plus.1 - NO when the Soviet Union becomes at War with Japan & vice versa

I’m confused on the verbiage used in Alpha Plus.1 on the two NO for the Soviets & the Japanese involving the treaty between them.
Both states “Collect 12 IPCs, once, and at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by Japan on the Soviet Union or (the Soviet Union on Japan).”
Should it read; “Collect 12 IPCs, at once, and at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by Japan on the Soviet Union or (the Soviet Union on Japan).”
Implying that the 12 IPCs are awarded twice, immediately & at the next turn.
Or….
Should it read; “Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by Japan on the Soviet Union or (the Soviet Union on Japan).” Omitting the word and.
Implying the 12 IPCs are awarded only once.
-
The second one.
-
This applies to the WHOLE game, not just prior to turn 4 correct? This could happen on Turn 7 or 8 so to speak.
-
There is no time limit.

Krieg, you said the second one… Is that after or before the “Or…” because I was a little confused by this as well. The way it reads makes it seem like whoever gets attacked will be paid twice, getting 24IPCs
-
After the “or”.
-
After the “or”.
Gracias. Might want to re-word that on the original post so there isn’t anymore confusion.
