What exactly are you defending though? I don’t think he is going to take the entire stack of fast movers German troops into Chinese territory. Maybe he would blitz through to Turkmenistan to threaten Calcutta/ME from the other side, but at that point you could stack Persia and leave a blocker in Eastern Persia and it wouldn’t be an issue. If it is only to save 2 Chinese territories for another turn, I dont think it is worth it because the Japanese infantry and artillery in the north are also picking off territories one by one. Sure, it might get China 2-3 more points for 1 more turn, but that’s roughly a wash then isn’t it? I’m new, so I am not by any means trying to be confrontational, and if I am missing something totally point it out! Thanks :)
Do not underestimate the chinese! ;)
That China-hoard is a true pain in the arse for Japan. I want it to get even bigger, not smaller. 1 IPC here and there is quite a big thing for little China.
China is very inflexible. They have a limited push and won’t be able to defend their territories particularly well. Where the stack is right now in Kweichow is a perfect central position. Still doesn’t connect with the west or east fringes.
It will likely not stay there though. How much I like the centre-control, the stack has to achieve something more than just supervising area.
One idea is to help UK out by entering Yunnan á la farmboy. Another is to move north and try to reach the richer territories that way. Did a silly effort to the east, but the stack will just be squashed. Up north it will disconnect from most of the japanese navy-air.
To reiterate, China won’t be able to fight for it’s western domains. Russia also has better things to do. In the light of that, stopping G from an easy eastward expansion is actually rather valuable.
If Italy wants to can-open that inf, then be our guest. I’m sure it’s not worth that much for Axis.
