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.
Help! Russian/Japan Question
-
what happens if Russia makes a provoked declaration of war on Japan by invading China. How does this affect the stare of the other allies. ie, if Japan attacks the UK does this still bring the US into the war or not?
-
The relationship between Japan and Russia has no effects on the politics of every other nation. Also, since the Mongolian rules are based on invading territories, not DOWs, there is essentially no reason other than psychologic effects not to declare war on Japan on R1.

Ok great thank you.
Just to be sure I understand. Moving Russian troops into China does not break the Political Situation for Japan that:
“Japan considers movement of units into China by any other Allied Power as an act of of war against it.”The exact senario was that Russia declared war. Then moved troops into China
Thanks again

From what I understand yes that will cause a declaration of war with Japan. Also, I think if Japan controls Chinese territories bordering the mongolian territories, and Russia attacks first against one of those territories, then you will not get your 6 guys from mongolia. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
