We are having a game and cannot find a clear rule on this. Any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks JimmyHat,

Your response was appreciated. We were having a late night game and an arguement about this. A bet involving beer was on the line.

I did it in a league game a couple of seasons back. With a positive results.
The way I did it was close to what shadowhawk describes. But it needs to be a unaware US player that makes some small but crucial mistakes. otherwise it falls short. So if US starts acting the correct way in turn 1 and 2, the axis player must change plans away from the US, otherwise it ends up as taamvan describes. But even then it might be to late for the axis as to many ressources are spent for the german. And this is even more true if you play balance mod. 2.0 with a stronger russia.

I’ve tried this cheesy move two or three times, and barring the best possible situation (Japan has 4 unloaded transports you can deny them, and they DOW next round anyway to get the Philippines), it’s more a hindrance than a help to the Allies. I don’t think I’ll be using it in the future.

Things I learned about fighting China:

1: Try to control them not conquer them. Contain them from getting to the coast. Always be able to take the road back.

2: I have found that an IC in Kiangsu can work. I always have some land based Aircraft that are designated for Chinese attacks. Spend what Chinas income is as a rule of thumb at the IC. I usually buy 3 mechs a turn. Movement to the road is quicker and supporting Aircraft make most fights manageable. Going transports can work too. Just a lot harder logistics. Japans Achilles heel: getting troops to the land.

3: Dont be afraid to slam a chinese stack with just Airforce!! Especially early turns. Kill that flying tiger whenever you can. The payoff is much greater than the potential loss of aircraft.

4: Fight China with the end goal of getting to India! Once you have Calcutta the road is closed! Do not let the allies coordinate! Russia cant be helping china or UK reinforcing them. Keep them isolated from each other.

5: Know when to leave them be. Concentrating on China to much can hamper all the other objectives Japan must accomplish. Dont let it be a money pit.

Just some thoughts on fighting China. I have yet to play the perfect Japanese game but i would suggest giving them another chance. They are a blast to play. Sometimes you have to understand what your role as Japan is going to be. They are sometimes very dependent on what Germany does or how Germany is doing. Have fun!

@Boldfresh:

honestly, i think this game is awesome with it’s CURRENT setup. i feel like the allies need nothing.

I don’t see how the axis can lose in this setup if the allies receive nothing.

the idea is not to defend every landarea, only the vital ones (italy, germany), then have meches + tanks + planes in range so that you can counterattack anything else.

it is not trivial for US to land in north italy if you defend it with 3-5 units, and are able to counterattack with 15-20 german planes + 20+ german landunits.

german mechs in w germany are able to counterattack most terretories in europe, if the german planes try to stay in range, then it is difficult to land.

the only two terrs that are not “covered” by this strat is norway and s italy. in s italy you need how much you need anyways, and for norway, if your fleet is alive, you can have 5-8 inf in finland, keep your planes within range and then be able to attack with about 25-30 units (depending on how many planes you have).

It is expensive to defend against an enemy that can land everywhere, so rather, counterattack than defend, if you are able to kill one load of americans, then the transports need 3 turns before they are back and able to threathen again.

That’s a Good Idea !

IC’s can be upgraded after all repair is paid. Can be done in the same turn?

Yes, it’s correct. You can mobilize up to three units from the IC in the same turn that it’s upgraded, and up to ten units starting in the following turn.
