Super Stack or Stupid Stack?

@Frayedlines

That’s been my experience, sadly. I’m not sure how or what house rules can produce different results, but I encourage you to try.

@JDOW

May I ask how that plays out? Has that meant Italy gets Cairo early while UK pressures Germany?

Pretty much all Japan can do against a concerted effort - keep em distracted and hope Germany can win.

Russians need only ATTACK Korea.  They don’t have to take.

Having Mongolia in play can be just as good for Japan as Russia.  Units can cross from Russia to China freely, and you can duck out of North China at any time and be immune to the Chinese

That’s what I thought.

Mechs for mobility, they can get to the front faster, regular inf if the front is very close to the factory or if ur going hard defense

I could be undefeatable by anyone currently living on planet Earth and never skip a sacking of France on Germany 1 or failing Germany 1, at least whacking him good and doing it with Italy. (Although, with at least 4 fighters there, I highly doubt I would let Italy even try.)

@oztea:

Dooming moscow is not a gamebreaker in this edition
It opens the possibility of getting france back in the game, if the Allies can push past normandy

At 17 if it controls all but FIC, it is a power that is near Russia’s IPC stockpile when it fell.

This is interesting, trade Russia for France (at some point). The axis strengthen would be way out of range unless most of it was lost in the battle for Moscow (make them pay). The US swoops in to destroy Italy and you now have 3 allies all in western Europe (knocking at Germany’s front door), instead of two coming from the west, and Russia in the east. If Italy does fall the 3 allied powers will have back to back turns (ooch).
