    Hey I think TripleA made an error on your NO for Italy.  The Russian sub in SZ 94 should prevent Italy from their NO shouldn’t it?

    5 IPCs if there are no Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean sea (sea zones 92 through 99). Theme:
    Propaganda and strategic advantage.  P39

    I do not know how you are coming back from this one >,<

  • TripleA

    Maybe we should change the 99 infantry challenge to 300

    300 INFANTRY CHALLENGE

    Allies start game with 100 usa infantry

    When Russia is axis controlled add 100 infantry to london.

    When Russia and Calcutta is axis controlled add 100 china infantry to tsinghai.

    300!!!

  • '14 Customizer

    yea, I was expecting to lose Russia but I also expected Germany to lose most of its aircraft.  Even if you give me those 300 inf I wont be able to stop you from taking Egypt which is the game.  The whole 99 really never became a factor.  The crazy part about the game is by getting 99 inf you still need to invest in art/armor to hit with as well as transports.  I think I have used only 3 of the 99 inf so far.  10 of the inf went to Morocco to party for 6 months and then didn’t like the babes so they went to Gibraltar.  Investing in so many transports takes away from what US needs to compete with Japan in naval/air power.

    You digested my “Kung Pao Chicken” strategy.

    1. “Kung” = Chinese
    2. “Pao” = Russians
    3. “Chicken” = Indians

    First Russia declares war on Japan and sends 7 mech, 2 armor, 2 fighters and tactical to Yunnan.  Chinese mass in Yunnan and the Indians flee “hence chicken” to Yunnan with everything they have.  After Japan takes India and decides to move off the coast the Chinese take Burma.  Then you can liberate India with Russia’s fast units, mech and armor which is the “Pao” part of the recipe. The “Chicken” then follow the Burma road back to Burma.  Japan can take back India but they cant touch Burma not even with 11 fighters, 7 tactical and 2 bombers.  So they will lose it again on turn 5.  This constant exchange of India may not be the best strategy but it does buy USA time to reinforce ANZAC and/or Hawaii.  It might have been better if I would have waited another round to attack India.

    My point is that Japan can rush India but then they are so far away from the war and if you keep them occupied down there while USA and ANZAC build you will buy USA time. Maybe the Kung Pao Chicken force should wait and until Japan leaves.  Once USA has a comparable force then Japan must move their planes off the coast thus allowing the liberation of India. Another idea is to take Kwangtung or Kiangsu with the force.  It moves well together since they have almost back to back turns.

    I made some very poor decisions in Africa and I believe that was going to shadow over my entire game which it did.  If I would not have lost the Middle East I believe this strategy may have worked.  I learned a lot from this game Cow and thank you for playing.

    Good Game!

  • TripleA

    Well yeah, the whole thing is Japan gets to keep taking India. Even with a larger USA fleet present. Japan just needs to sit tight and stay alive, as long as India is out of the game, you have no second Russia…. I have to wait on Germany to take Russia before being aggressive with Japan.

    I also have the bombers to go pacific after if I need it for USA naval.  Because once Russia is gone it is just a matter of getting to Egypt and it takes time to move the army from Russia to Egypt so the bombers can threaten middle east and the pacific from India once that is held.
