New to the game need a good strat

@Nix:

But that is of course “optional”, i also belive more and more are directing recourses against Japan, becuse it has been shown time and time again that an unrestricted Japan is a “killer”.

But if the allies want to Hit Axis first round you can do some of this (or all)

Russia hits West Russia, and maybe Belorussia, Rusia sends 6 inf to Buryatia, 2 Arm Yakut to threthen a Incursion.

UK hits French indo china with 3 inf, 1 fig, hoping to wipe them out (or thinning down Japans troop levels), Dest to SZ59 kill trn (im beginning to lose faith in that dest thought…)

Creating a Pacific Fleet off the coast of Australia is an interesting idea - I’m currently trying it our in a game against NoMercy, with mixed results. I’ve had to sacrifice Egypt (coupled with a KJF strategy for the USA means Germany is HUGE) but it allowed me to bring Japan’s expansion to a virtual stand-still.

I’ve seen those six infantry wiped off the face of the map in J1, and they are almost certainly destroyed by J2. If you want to stall Japan but not concentrate on it, I believe bringing the inf from Buryatia and the Soviet Far East to Yakut is optimal…

it´s hard for japan to kill 6 inf and 2 arm in manch on J2.

No it isn’t.  And once done, Russia is wide open… as well as a bit harder pressed by Germany with the loss of 2 ARM on the western front.

cover that with a UK ftr or two or three and it’s damn near impossible

To get your revenge, you will need:

2 cases of beer
1 can whipped cream
4 bikinis
1 macaque monkey
1 camera (with film and batteries)

Use your imagination.

If you’re near a New York City subway stop, I can come over and show you some things to do.  It’s always better to show these things in practice.

Otherwise -

The key is to stall with UK and USSR, until the US can come in and beat the Axis down.

If you’re going to go KGF, first, you make sure that Germany can’t really invade London successfully (if Germany buys a lotta transports, or has fighters in range of London - don’t forget, the fighters have to LAND too), then you buy a few infantry.

Otherwise, you buy UK and US navy and air until you kill the German fleet, while you use USSR to trade off territory with Germany.  You withdraw the Allied forces in the east.  If Germany has taken Anglo-Egypt on Germany’s first turn, you recapture it.  (Germany will probably try to nab Africa, so you have to try to get it back quick; you can unite the Allied fleet off Algeria but watch out for German fighters from W. Europe plus any German navy that can blow up your fleet).

You get two fleets of US transports, and use one fleet to move units from E. Canada to London (you march the units from Washington to E. Canada), then you use the other transport fleet to move units from London to Europe.  (It’s called a transport chain).

That’s KGF

–

For KJF, just build a crapload of air and navy in the Pacific, and go beat up Japan.

Oh yeah.  Join the Caspian Sub Yahoo group and read the files.  That will probably help bunches.

UK can’t afford to sacrifice even one of its fighters to defend a Russian line…

@Adonai:

Why?  What else is UK going to use its fighters for?

Anyways, Russian infantry backed by UK fighters will be pretty expensive for Japan to take out.

[ajgundam5]

In the case of Buryatia in Turn 1 I think the UK Fig backing up the 6 Russian infantry is a great strategy.
I do it often and it also forces Japan to protect it’s Trns in Sz 60 & 61
