Axisplaya,
I’m going to comment on a few things if you don’t mind and I would like to get some feedback from you if at all possible.
1.) These two games I’ve played with you are the farthest I’ve actually gone in the games. I’ve done a bunch of FTF games, but due to the length that this takes, we usually only get to round 4-6 in one day and then have to pack up. Partly that is because the people who play changes from game to game and partly because we don’t play that much. It just takes everyone a looooooong time to due turns. We average about 2 - 2.5 hours for one round on play.
1a.) We agreed to that funky non-aggression pact and by landing your UK fighters in Tur, I can attack Russia now as Japan. I just wanted to remind you of that in case you forgot. I know you have multiple games going on and our agreement is a relic now that Larry has removed that part of the non-aggression pact. If you want to redo your UK move because you forgot about that I’m fine with that. It is a friendly game after all.
2.) I feel like we are finally getting out the early round, scripted play. Now we are in the middle rounds (before capitals fall, which go a long way to deciding the game) where both you and I have multiple ways of responding to each others moves.
3.) I have to know, how many games have you played? How many rounds can this last? I ask because I have zero experience doing a “long game” which is what I think this one is going to be.
4.) Have you had many J1 attacks done to you? I ask because this is the first one I’ve done. I originally thought that I would have taken out China by now and I would be lining up for India. Considering the amount of $$$ that Anzac, China, and the US has spent against me, I should feel decent about how Japan is doing. Partly, this problem is related to my J1 purchase I think. I should’ve purchased 2 TT and 2 SS instead of my 4 SS buy. That would’ve allowed me to get 4 units into Kwa on J2 for use on J3. Oh well. With limited experience one does not always foresee everything.
5.) I have no idea how the Pacific is going to play out. Your move to the Carolines, while known, was not what I thought you were going to do. Now you’re giving Japan some heartburn with everything you can hit from there (namely Japan itself) and your 4 TT plus planes. Building 10 units on Japan is not going to be enough to save it for this round so I am kicking myself for that fighter purchase last round. It should’ve been three infantry last round like I had originally planned. I did the fighter purchase thinking I could then fly it off Japan and use it in other places instead of being stuck like the infantry would have been. I have a feeling I’m going to have to use some blocking DDs and I detest doing that. To me that really can whittle away one’s fleet in a rapid manner.
5a.) At least by doing my J1 attack, I thought I would effectively neuter UK Pacific and I am glad that worked out.
6.) Europe…. is this how it usually plays out? At some point there is a push into Russia and as the Axis go for Moscow, they give up a bunch of stuff in the Med and western Europe?
7.) I get the impression that Italy is a paper tiger. The Allies show up in the Med. and they lose half of their income or more as the NOs are lost and they are convoy raided.
8.) I think my biggest hold up right now is if I go for the attack on S. Africa. You have 7 units vs. the six I can bring. But, I would have three bombardments. Man, that would be a close battle. If I succeed, great! If I fail, I’ve really blown my position in Africa since I won’t be able to reinforce. That is a really, really hard decision for me.
Anyways, win or lose, I am gaining a lot insight into G40 by going into the later rounds (for me at least) against a great opponent and having fun doing it at the same time. Thanks! :-D

Phew…That’s a lot of points to answer :lol:
Will give you a detailed answer a bit later tonight. :wink:
At the moment, i can just tell you that you are right, i had totally forgotten about Japan being triggered to war if i land those planes there. Last thing i need now is Japan going to grab my eastern territories… :-D
Will land them in Wind.
will also change my UK NCM: 10inf, tnk Ind » Wind
Use this map.

Ok, after a lot of thought, I am not going to attack you in S. Africa. I really, really want to, but the battle is most likely close to 50/50 and if I lose it really messes me up. I don’t feel the need to tempt fate that badly at this point yet.
Also, arrrgggghhhh. I have a strong dislike for when the Allies go to Gibraltar. :-P I have to defend everything from Sita to Norway. Plus, if I pull planes from Russia, does that allow you step out? I need some time to figure this move out. No turn tonight.
