That gives me problems with my current troop displacement :/. Replace all units build with 5 infantry.

But it also kinda ruins my Pacific/Chinese/US turn.

@Shin:

I’m sorry.  Want to rewind to that point then?

Best to continue. You had some set backs as well anyways. And we are just testing. Tho I am becoming more positive about one aspect of the current setup being wrong. But we can discuss that point after we are done with this game.

@Shin:

I think the Japanese VCs need a serious rethink - was that what you had in mind?

I was thinking about those. Al tho I haven’t played in a while and forgot about the VC change till UK pacific this turn and that probably hasn’t helped much either. Still Japan can easily capture 7 VC´s by turn 3, which seems wrong. It takes any Axis power a lot longer then that to capture that many VC´s. Then again Pacific works slightly different.

In my opinion. Gamerman needs to ask Wheatbeer about the suggested VC change in pacific. He might be able to give a proper alternative. He is a really skilled axis player after all.
