Question about building on IC on Malaya????

@1Bean432:

That territory is considered full-friendly after you captured it during your turn.

So now that its after your turn, its defiantly friendly to the point where you can land planes there.

tl:dr Yes

I think you meant to say “definitely”

Dylan the Canadian, I see your question got mixed up in your quote.

@Dylan:

Okay thanks, but 1 more thing do you by upgrade a Minor you need to have a territory with 3 IPC’S like Machuria

Yes, to upgrade a minor IC to a major IC (cost 20 ipc) the territory that the minor IC is on would have to be worth at least 3 ipc (like Manchuria or Korea). You should keep this in mind if you buy a minor IC, and may want to upgrade it later.

One other thing about Manchuria is that it is Chinese, so the allies can’t build an IC there. Japan can build an IC there (must have control), but if the allies (including China) liberate it then the IC is removed from play. Its kinda bitter sweet though, at least your enemies won’t be able to use it against you.

Yes, though such a movement would generally be made during noncombat movement.

@Tragedy:

Thanks as always for the quick response.

Sooo, 3 hops for a plane to go from Aleutian to Alaska?  :-D

That would be right.  Plus it is right for actual distances. When the Alaska Marine Highway system goes to Unalaska it takes a good week and basically disrupts its schedule to do it once every three weeks.

By plane while faster still has about 1,000 miles to travel from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor / Unalaska.

On a side note, I wish tactical bombers were able to bomb air/naval bases (not factories).  According to my grandpa’s carrier’s war journal, they did a lot of airfield attacks, so it would only make sense to have that ability, and it would better justify the 11 IPC cost, since some people think that is too much.

If you destroy 12 IPCs as Japan the US is down to 38 or so. If Japan keeps up with the US Navy builds it seems like that would keep the Japanese on a pretty even playing field with the US.

Thanks for answering both of you

I would like to thank you guys for the advice, because I won my game against my best buddy.

I immediately pushed my Navy South and took NSW from the Austrailians (he had alot of troops in Queensland).  I also built a factory in Kwangtung which the next turn I made 9 men there (and a transport) followed by 10 tanks the next turn.  I traded NSW for a few turns back and forth eventually killing off all the Australian troops two turns before America could send their then massive navy to Austrailia.

I used two transports and took Sumatra and Malaya with Battleship and Destroyer support, and smashed the remaining Brits and 3 Chinese in Yunnan at the cost of about 8 planes to the 4 British planes and several infantry.

With Australia clear of troops I moved transports and bombers into a poor India and took it over and blocked the United States from reaching Austrailia, Japan, or the Phillipenes.

Thank you all for the advice, but next time Ill attack sooner with Japan, the Brits got rich fast which caused me a big headache.
