J1 attack. When does the US get their extra 40 IPC's?

@Fatespinner:

I find it quite difficult to keep China from being killed. How would you suggest doing it?

It’s pretty much impossible to keep China alive if Japan focuses on them.  It’s more about prolonging death and being annoying than not dying.

Welcome to the forum, Travelman.
You have understood correctly. You will discover that the U.S. needs that extra income, as 17 is not sufficient to prosecute a proper war, once Japan gets going.

I mainly made these because I need  larger things to see and especially reminders what the national bonuses are for objectives. We always have a new player joining and he does not quite remember what is required to get the bonus.

On the battle board I added information about surprise attacks and anti aircraft as people forget to roll these first, Kamikaze information, and how to do strategic bombing runs.

I use the P-40 from Brookhurst Hobbies (6 for $3.28):

It looks pretty good when spray painted olive drab green.

For a slightly larger plane, you can use the SBD Dauntless:

Assuming the Japanese don’t attack J1, One strat I tried was for the US to Move the Fleet to Wake, and I built a naval base there on US 1. If Guam is open on US1, move the fighter and troops there too. Now your forces at Wake are in range to counter attack or reinforce Guam, and the Aussies can fly up all four fighters on ANZAC 2 (actually, 1 can move up on ANZAC 1).

Guam is a key location for the Allies, specifcally the US, to attack Asia & lots of targets from.

Just something to consider. :-)

If you’re being SBR’d in AA40P you’ve probably lost already.  Europe will be the place to really evaluate the new rules on it.

The second link you sent seems to apply- thanks for clearing this up.  I was rereading the parts in the rule book and it is very unclear and contradicting when talking about the “scrambling” and the “amphibs”

So then even a combat move with no sea combat that results in a amphib is still grounds for scrambling.  I’ll tell Kreighund to clear this up in the FAQs because it is worded very badly.

thanks
:-)

Yup.  Sea battle = no bombardment.
