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

@panther thanks for the quick reply. I was referring to 1940 Pacific SE. You are absolutely correct though. The US starts off as a Major IC on the original box setup. I have a different organizer now. It only has the global setup custom printout on it. Thanks.

Howdy!
Japan:  Japan has a lot of potential in this game.  They start off with a massive air force and solid navy.  I usually like to attack turn 3 which allows me to have the transports to hit all my objectives.  Turn two is not bad also and turn one can work but I feel three is the best.  Turn four is to long of a wait and by then India has lots of men defending Calcutta.  Two minor IC on the Asian mainland will put China and India out of business.  I like them on Hong Kong and French Indo China.  Until China and India fall, I get two tanks and a mech for both factories.  I also like to add a aircraft carrier a turn for my remaining fighters and I usually post in the Philippines so I get the six kamikiezes and three fighters can also scramble.  Don’t forget to also have a destroyer next to Hawaii! That way USA doesn’t sneak in and surpise you in Japan! I caught my opponent sleeping one time and took Korea with the USA. Subs and destroyers are also good for cannon fotter when you eventually have the big navy clash with the allies.  You will needs transports also because the allies will try to take some of those money islands back to stop your objectives.  When you have only one more VC to go hit Australia.  Establish a beach head and keep the supply line coming and then strike at Sydney! If you played your cards right your navy should still be stronger than the allies and it should be game over for them.

UK:  UK is limited in this game.  I like to buy men and if I’m lucky a mech or artillery.  If Japan hasnt attacked you early then take the money islands.  If Japan hasn’t attacked by round 3, then declare war and get the NO. A AA is also not a bad buy.  Maybe you will get lucky and shoot a few fighters down during the Calcutta battle.  That itself will benefit the other allies, especially the navy.  Anyways, have fun! This is a great game and I still enjoy playing it by itself

@Dark_Destroyer:

How the heck do you get your Transports from Japan all the way down to Phil….  and Caroline Transports all the way to Java on J1 ???
Last time I looked transports only move at a 2…

There’s this great new thing called Naval bases.  You’ll like it :)

(same for airbases)

wow… understatement to say the least that was a huge oversight on my part >_>;;

@Krieghund:

Welcome, Stefano1189!

While it’s not at war, the US may not move units into territories belonging to other powers, including the Dutch territories.  After it’s at war, it may occupy Dutch territories (move units there), but it may not take control of them unless it’s recapturing them from Japan.

See the FAQ for more information.

Thank you Krieg!

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:

i prefer taking over as much as possible…gonna need it in order to hold out as japan

I’ll have to agree with Achtung, its a good Idea, but would cost allot and you wouldn’t be able to defend it very well.  I tried to do the same thing by moving all the Brits to Java and built an airbase their and my opponent still took it in one turn!
