Benefit of a sneaky ANZAC DOW

Thanks Panther

@VictoryFirst hmm … maybe i shouldn’t have asked that question out loud

lol

It’s not easy, you’ll probably lose most of China to the FEC, and you’ll have to start from scratch in South East Asia. You’re also giving the Americans free rein in the Pacific. It’s easier to take advantage of ANZAC’s low income to keep a small fleet in sz63, maybe conquer NZ and Solomons/NB, and keep them bottled up, while attacking Calcutta and US fleet.

I have Pacific 00’, so those Green Mean Marines have been waiting for re-deployment for years. :)

Germany has to deny the NO SZ125 but Japan can deny it by taking out Amur.

Ran some numbers last night. If the USSR buys an additional fighter, with 4 bombers Germany still has a positive expected value from bombing G3. To make it negative, USSR needs to buy two fighters. USSR doesn’t want to spend money on fighters so I guess it is still worthwhile for Germany to threaten it. Could conceivably be worthwhile to attack even with a negative expected value because USSR’s money is worth more than Germany’s. The problem is that if you lose a bomber or two, do you have enough to hit it next turn?

@wittmann:

I do not think it matters. Just because you DOW, doesn’t mean you have to invade.

Many Russians will DOW first, as they can then move into Western China with Mech units to help out.
If the Russian players moves all 18 INf into Amur and has not DOW you first, I think you have to do so and ATTACK!

The bigger reason for Russia to DOW Japan on Turn 1 is so if Japan DOW’s the Allies, Allied units can move into Russia in the East.

Why start new threads about J1? I already have a thread for this.

No, unless it must attack Allied units to do so.

Mmmm, industrial complex in New Zealand is tasty for the Japanese. Mmmmm.

Really Anzac could use it occasionally. Sometimes I want to build four inf and a fighter.
