A Japanese Complex Poll Question

[Young Grasshopper]

A question for research, thanks for your participation.

[EnoughSaid]

In his question, FIC is the abbreviation of French Indo China.

…which happens to be exactly where the Complex goes in my games!

Second placed one, after a J1 Shanghai IC. Probably not until 4-5 though. I buy ships J2 -J4 and an AB, if I can.

I had to vote sometimes. While I often see Japan build an IC in FIC, I almost never see them put one in Malaya.
The question is worded wrong, you should have split FIC and Malaya.

[ghr2]

I would add Shanghai & HK to the list.

The question says “or” so if you see an IC built in FIC every game than your answer should be “Always”, even if you never see one built in Malaya.

BTW, love the avatar KNP, nice to see you  :-D

First one Always placed in Shanghai/Manchuria, second one goed FIC. Or Malaya but that’s a 1:10 situation over here.

My research question is specific to eligible IC territories below Hong Hong.

Malaya is tough since you need to move out in order to get on the front lines with India

[Trooper51]

I almost always put an IC in FIC, either 2nd or 3rd round.

Yeah, I think it was the “or” that kind of messed me up. It’s just the way my brain works. If I have a choice of 2 places and 1 of them always gets an IC while the other never does, then to me that is an average of 50%. I just didn’t think of separating the two.
Sorry if I messed up your poll average.

[Shin-Ji]

I feel like something between sometimes and always would fit well here.  Because Japan will build there 90% of the time if it’s not getting whupped.  But sometimes you get whupped.

[Whackamatt]

It depends on my Japanese strategy employed.  A FIC factory can be taken, especially if Russia is sending troops into China.  It is a sometimes strategy, as sometimes you’re better served with the 10 IC bonus and factories farther north.

Great participation so far everyone, I guess it’s safe to say that Japan’s success has a lot to do with building an IC south of Hong Kong.
