Questioneer_v_Vance_04cJapan.AAM

Q, are you noticing in your games that Russia always gets crushed now by a Japanese move across China?? Germany doesn’t even seem to need to do much except just put some pressure on them to deploy units to the West and then Japan stabs them in the back every time. Japan does a few silly stunts in the Pacific to keep America occupied and hopefully shut down india, but the real focus is on Russia. That’s what I am seeing anyway.

questioneer

Yes it seems that way but I can’t honestly verify that yet.
Yes it does seem that if Sealion fails (not good enough G1 rolls to secure a G3 landing) then the goal for the Axis I think should be to gun for Russia hard.

However a counter for the Allies is possible I believe.

For example in this game, I usually build all mech with India. This way by turn 4 India has a stack of mech that can be used to keep pressure on Yunnan and other tts in SEast Asia OR swoop quickly back up to Russia to help or the MidEast. If needed, India can be evacuated (by quick moving mech and planes) to stop the Japanese land/aircraft rush somewhat and allow the 18inf to get back to Moscow in time. With India evacuated, its very tempting for Japan to be distracted to take India giving breathing room for Russia.

Another thing I do with Russia is attack Japan by R3:

R1 18inf stack in Bury (Japan thinks they are going west so they attack China and position for a southern assault)

R2 18inf step back up into Amur (Japan is perplexed- keeps and eye on it but usually continues its southern plan)

R3 18inf attacks Korea and takes (This does not negate the pact- see if Japan bites on Amur to ignite the pact- by this time US is actually in position to land planes on Korea if needed)

R4 18inf breaks pact (if Japan doesn’t bite on Korea trick) and attacks Manchuria

If Japan attacks the stack at any time they will be grossly out of position. They will lose precious land units doing this and lose tempo also. All India has to do is keep taking Yunnan with China (Declaring war if necessary on turn 2-3). The three prong attack (Russia, China, India/ANZAC) gives the US the time it needs to build a beast of a force in the Pacific with Trannies. Turn 4 US takes Carolines as a main launching point and the rest is history- Japan is sacked.

This why I believe the game is still slightly Allied advantage. Can’t verify that for sure though.

I dunno i think the allies would have to play very well and get some luck. Axis can beat Russia early. anyway….

Also the naval coordination in the Pacific for the Allies is killer for Japan. Â A lot of DD blocks and sub attacks with can-opener type stuff. Â Very hard for Japan to deal with. Â That is why I moved my Japanese navy back up to z6. Â Otherwise you could cut me off from my own navy in Kwa through a coordinated blocking scheme- really sucks.

… if the allies can coordinate. Probably a lot easier in a 1 on 1 game than a face to face game with separate US and UK players.

BTW Wheatbeer told me my original map was off- I didn’t have 2inf on Port or Switzerland AND I was missing a ftr on Haw and one on Korea. I fixed the neutral armies and I will put the extra US ftr on Korea and Haw. I don’t think it will effect anything.
