Perhaps this game is already over. Forcing Japan to forgo IC purchases J2 when they didn’t buy any J1 seems a minor victory but you’ll catch up. Not having many ground troops might have been a problem for Japan had they not been able to hold on in Yunnan C1.
The funny thing is if I’d followed my dubious theory on getting a US landing on Norway US3, I would have been able to pull it off this game. The Luftwaffe wasn’t thinned enough for the fleet to fight and survive but I guess surviving UK ships could have merged with it and put some hurt on them if they attacked.
And if I had have not been stingy and bought the US naval base US2, I’d have had options to go after the Carolines. Interestingly, that doesn’t look so great anyway.

Hi Simon,
Regarding Japan. Not building ICs is not a problem for Japan so far. I usually don’t start buying them before J3 anyway as I prefer Fic and Malaya for placement. Ground support will also be fine for Japan. I brought an additional 4 units to the main land in J2 and have 4 units to bring over in J3. This is more than enough, and, as you said, thanks to the Yunnan survivors Japan is well supplied with ground units.
“The funny thing is if I’d followed my dubious theory on getting a US landing on Norway US3, I would have been able to pull it off this game.

Kind of a bold statement ;) I am afraid, I cannot follow here at all. I don’t see how the US could ever have a landing in Norway in turn 3 that Axis could neither block off nor prevent by stacking Norway or setting up a counter attack.
“And if I had have not been stingy and bought the US naval base US2, I’d have had options to go after the Carolines. Interestingly, that doesn’t look so great anyway.”
I don’t see the point in pushing North with the US when Japan can easily hold sz6 in turn 2. I had too much fleet at Caro I could bring back, thus it is not worth the effort for the US. Even with the NB, I could have easily protected Carolines with planes.
This kind of push would work better with 18 Russians in Siberia and Japan that may have moved it’s entire fleet to sz 36 or so and that does not have the potential to defend sz6.
This way, Japan does not have to do much but hold sz6 and is then uncontested in claiming money islands and Guam. In fact, Japan won’t lose a single transport next turn when taking 4 islands. Usually, Japan is supposed to lose 3 TTs for that.Based on your post, I am not sure, will you continue?
Best regards,

Let me have a bit of a think about it tonight but I’m inclined to call this one. Italy is going to be hard to stop, as is Japan. Germany has lost a few planes but not enough that it can’t take Bryansk, Novgorod and Stalingrad in reasonable time.
-
Just posted your result.
Sorry about the non competitiveness of this game. Some of it was dice, but dice helped you exploit some weaknesses I’d left.
I still didn’t really expect it to be game ending to lose the Yunnan battle C1. That certainly wasn’t the only issue but the impact was larger than I was thinking. My attack was ~85%. Doesn’t seem that dodgy but perhaps given the consequences it was.
-
Thanks for the games. As you said, it was a combination of both, bad dice and some dubious decisions, 2-3 of them.
- You absolutely need to kill the subs in 91 in UK 1 instead of attacking those in 106. I know you were unaware of the potential attack in 92, so for next time :-)
Also, don’t take a fighter down when attacking the bismarck but take the DD or cruiser into this battle and keep the air alive - I personally always go for 5 inf + fig at Yunnan, anything below 95% would be unacceptable to be.
However, my G1 dice and J1 dice have been great, so maybe it was ok to already increase the risk level slightly.
Best,

Regarding the dd, I did think about that move but it gave you too attractive odds to attack my fleet, in my judgement anyway. Also I was still able to fully populate three airbase on Gibraltar so I’m not sure if I lost anything there. Perhaps if I had lost sz96.
Regarding Norway, the move I had in mind was :
Us1 buy 2tt, dd, cv, fighter for sz101
Us2 move fleet to sz123, land 3 planes on Iceland. If you moved the German cruiser to sz124, attack with USSR sub and planes. Still attack if cruiser and dd. Perhaps such a US buy would have caused you to buy a dd g2.
Also ussr3, take Finland with force.
Us3 attack Norway, unless the entire Luftwaffe is there. Land planes on Finland. No need to move the cv in unless it can survive.The biggest problem here is if Japan doesn’t Dow by j2 the soviets are left holding their *****.
Next problem is that us can’t build an
Ic on Finland, which is much more of a threat to Germany than the one on Norway. If Germany has to build a fleet of transports to fight USA, that is a win in itself.I think you’re right about USA going north against Japan. I’ve always loved the idea of getting on Korea but it seems if Japan doesn’t make some kind of miscue, they should be able to hold Korea against the us. And not putting the Max fleet in sz54 held an Anzac plane in qld, which wasn’t where I wanted it.
Thanks for the games. I feel like I’ve learned a lot here. Even ignoring that I shouldn’t have attacked sz106, I should not have counted on UK victory when doing my us move.

Hi Simon,
thanks for sharing. I see many of those “kill one axis power with force” strategies in the G40 forum and I am not a believer of them.
In general, I think the game is designed that Axis is too powerful at the beginning that enables them to withstand any of these “KGF” oder “KJF” strategies, especially if they aim to achieve something major in the first 3-4 turns.
In case, Axis is played by an experienced player, I believe there is always a thoughtful response the Axis have to that kind of aggression that thwart the Allied plans and leave the Axis in an even stronger position because usually, the side in the other theatre will get out of control then soon.I believe the major problem is that players try that stuff against inexperienced players that are overwhelmed by that kind of aggression and make mistakes then. However, once the play against a good player, they will learn that the strategy won’t work on a high level.
I think this is a bit comparable with gambits or very aggressive openings in chess. While mediocre players are often outplayed by these because they do not find the right response quick enough, the top competition knows how to respond and will the aggressive player leave with a disadvantage.
