@FMErwinRommel:

are those your only combat attacks?� You sure?

You’re not leaving me many openings :|

FMErwinRommel

But I’m also not advancing. Can’t take out China and India at the same time with just two ICs, so maybe make more progress now with the third IC.

That Alaska thing is a thorn in my side, but yeah, this is why I threw away the BB. I know how important TTs are to Jpn, although this marine thing makes it slightly less so. My Yunnan stack might or might not pan out but your lack of TTs at least gave me the option to do so.

Headin to a friend’s to watch the Minnesota Wild game so won’t post again tonight.

FMErwinRommel

Okay. The ability of China to build troops in any terr, even one that it just recaptured, is huge advantage. I didn’t see the combined stack coming. Jpn doesn’t have the tts to end run on India, which is adequately defended.

FMErwinRommel

I thought ANZ would send its dd and tt to Java to block Malay fleet from joining an attack on U.S. fleet in Aust, while also retaking Java. The battle calc says Jpn would win sea battle in sz54. But the unit and power numbers are fairly even, and U.S. could take hits on carriers and planes could retreat to land and bb could repair if it survived. But Jpn fighters on damaged carriers would crash and bb would remain damaged and couldn’t reach a seaport for repairs in one turn.

Arthur Bomber Harris

Holding Yunnan in balanced mod games is much tougher than standard games. Still, with proper ground troop management there is no way that China should be holding the territory on round 6 when Russia completely abandoned Siberia. Check out how some of the top players do the first couple of rounds. I like to transport a couple of ground units across into Korea on J1 and build a transport in Kiangsu on that round. Fast movers built J2 in Kiagsu can hit Hong Kong on J3, freeing up other critical units in Mainland Asia to knock out the Chinese.

Japan should have strafed the 4 Chinese ground units in Szechwan on the previous round. One or two Japanese planes would have been lost, but it would have broken the Burma Road and prevented the UK troops from meeting up with the Chinese. Always look for that key strafe that will prevent China from recapturing Yunnan. I am willing to sacrifice a few Japanese planes if it cripples China.

FMErwinRommel

ABH: I did build IC in Kia J1, 3 tanks in Kia on J2 and used them to take Hong K on J3. But I also used inf/art to ensure against bad dice and not have to take the tanks as hits. I built 2 marines on J1 instead of tt. I only moved a few inf from Man on J1, because in the prior aborted game, Rus returned to the border when Jpn moved away too many units. J2/3 I moved south, but not SW. Perhaps that was a mistake. As for strafing, all Jpn planes were engaged in successful attacks on land and sea, including the critical retaking of Java. So none were available to perform strafing, which would have required 4/5 planes. Besides, I’m not accustomed to it, the few times I’ve tried it went badly.

Strat bomb of Mos went perfectly. No AA hits and exact max damage allowed from just 3 bombers. Was surprised on the increase in Allied threat to Europe during turn 5. So had to do Fortress Europa and no builds against Rus.
