Sorry for the edits, I should’ve figured it out during my movement phase. But then I thought, hey I can hold Samara and then afterwards realized Japan had an inf, 3ftr, 3tac, & 2bmb in range of Kazak and maybe I should cover that up better.
The Steaks are HIGH in this game! Wow!
Cow, lemme know what you think of this turn:
if you like it, i’ll do it
otherwise, suggest me something else
up 2 you, but if you are going to block with destroyers you may as well take dutch new guinea.
Cowthenewb!
well maybe not… idk if you have to block hard to calculate what kamikaze’s will do. Yes it is fine for japan tod ot his… very conservative but that is ok.
forget i said anything about new guinea.
Shouldn’t you be placing units in japan though? so you can be most baller on hawaii?
ah I c what you are doing, you want to be most baller on caroline islands next turn and stage your assualt from there.
yeah gogogoogogogog.
Why aren’t you discussing this stuff via PM? lol…
cos WE CRAZY. CRAZY! YOU DON’T KNOW ME HOMIE.
Why aren’t you discussing this stuff via PM? lol…
shhhhh :wink:
And for what it’s worth, I have a couple issues with it . . . . you’re building too much navy. Instead, I suggest dropping like 10+ dudes in Japan starting now, so you can get ahead of the curve for when the allies reverse their fortunes. There’s no A-bomb in this game, so you can pretty much ensure that the Japanese empire will remain in effect in one form or other if YOU ACT NOW! move all your aircraft and navy to sz6/Japan and that’ll seal the deal.
nah seth, we got to go for the pacific win. you in position to take an income lead sooner or later. europe is too shaky.
Not that it’s relevant to Japan, but I did seriously consider liberating Paris this turn. I have two brit transports that could hit N.Italy and the US ones in z91 could take W.Ger. Maybe if I’d had some troops coming in next turn, but I need a US foothold in Europe since UK doesn’t look like it’ll be freed soon.
And yeah, game neutral is my goal, but Italy came first in my book. Without UK I don’t have the resources to fight a protracted battle for the middle east/med. So killing the Italian navy and then spamming subs seemed like the cheapest long-term solution to the med front. I like my strategy over the next couple of rounds. But we’ll see what Germany does, because that could change.
it is pretty obvious japan has to go for the win, because if he doesn’t more american purchases in europe will be very bad for me.
well you would have to win all 3 battles to liberate france and even then italy has a small counter attack so need more than a few dudes to survive.
Yeah, that was the conclusion I reached as well. I normally wouldn’t have even considered it, but let’s face it. . . I have to take a couple of risks here and there and hope for the best. Knowing this, I took a careful look at it and considered what I had, what you had, and how I could move my pieces to get what I needed. And yea, way too risky and the payoff wasn’t worth it. Especially since I’d pretty much kill every US ground pounder in the process and it’d take me at least two turns to get more in there as the factory would be French. And I’m not really in position to ship massive troops into Europe at this point either.
yeah killing tobruke so ruskies can have the income seems wise. was kind of hoping you would do it so i could get italy in the fight instead of being forced to turtle it.
