Turn 1 Japan Attack?

“whether or not the
territory being assaulted is the territory containing the
air base.”

you do still have to have an airbase, somewhere.  That’s where I was off.

I see what you are saying. The Calcutta scramble is really bothersome. So assuming India makes no mistakes, three turns won’t happen. All in all you guys would say Turn 1 Japan attack is best though?

There was a poll not long ago on this forum. The J1 DOW lobby is quite loud but it doesn’t appear to be the majority.

J1 is a very different animal in Balance Mode

What difference does BM make to the J1 DoW Variance?

Japan gets rewarded for taking Wake (denies USA a NO) and on turn 2 you can use marines so you might build some.  That makes Wild Bill’s pearl harbour attack much more worthwhile.  China is still going to be a problem if you do this but its a better deal.

Thanks for answering Variance. :-)

I like the 3 transports + 1 marine build
