Shaping up to be a very interesting Cold War scenerio

@DallinD

Japan not attacking round 1 also has a similar strategy. You can focus on china for a turn and if you plan on a sea-lion attack with germany and the german turn went well you might want to prevent the US from doing anything for a few rounds.

With Sea-lion as a viable alternative and Japan in striking position but not yet at war anzac and the UK have to be carefull while the US has to decide how to split its money if they spend all on europe to maby counter sea-lion or liberate fast then japan can really mess around.

@nishav said in War Bonds:

I know this is errata’d somewhere but for the life if me I can’t track it down. If UK gets War Bonds, us it 1 die split between the 2 economies however UK wishes or is it 1 die for Europe & 1 die for Pac?

How to handle this is covered by the FAQ-sheets:

Q. If the United Kingdom gains the War Bonds breakthrough, which economy gets the IPCs?
A. The IPCs may be divided between the two economies each turn in whichever way the United Kingdom player likes, including all of them to one economy and none of them to the other.

So roll once for the IPC and apply the result as you like.

If I present this in video or audio format (still thinking bout it) will definitely include old time background music for it.
Hmm each country could have music by its own artist when its being presented… but I don’t want to run into copyright so that might add a challenge.

Dang it! Forgot that one. Just edited my previous post. Thanks ghr2.

I was leaning toward a J2 attack, however, once I calculated that it was impossible to claim the $5 NO for the Islands at the end of turn 2, I choose to stick with the J1 attack.

I would abuse improved shipyards right off the bat. I would make sure that the USA had the only floating major navy in both oceans. No point of having an edge if you don’t abuse it. And Japan can’t get its cites if they have no fleet.

I was thinking (if players agree) to have Russia & Japan put 1-2 ipc’s in a NAP fund. Let it grow, and the player that breaks the agreement (with an actual attack) forfeits the NAP fund to the other player. Allow Russia to declare war in name only (no attack) so it can invade neutrals (which is a silly loop hole anyway, Russia should just be allowed to invade neutrals from the get go).

Make a list of things that would be a deal breaker, like Russia in China or UK Pac tt’s, or allied attacks on Jap from Russian land ect…
