farmboy

or for that matter, Iwo Jima

farmboy

never mind that, his bomber can reach the transport off Iwo

trulpen

Yes, I’m sending one of them back.

trulpen

I was thinking, the ANZAC tr also makes a viable threat. I believe we therefore may use either one to take marshall. Should be good now, when we don’t have much else to do.

farmboy

@trulpen My suggestion with the anzac is to take Java and to build another transport so that you can start trading ANZAC transports against Japan ones. But there is nothing urgent about Marshall right now

trulpen

That’s probably better.

Looks good. Two suggestions. 1) put the bomber in scotland so that you have the option of reaching Moscow. 2) you left an inf on a transport in 33. Not a big deal but I would leave it on the island.

That’s a good idea.

The inf on the tr is actually intentional. It gives the option of being able to take an island with one unit and bring the other, thereby mildering the effect air-strikes taking out scarce land units.

trulpen

I’m thinking that the fleet won’t stay by the Carolines.

There are two alternatives. Either swing down to z54, which is safe and pressures the DEI, or, more aggressively clamp down on Iwo Jima as an outpost for attack against Korea or even Tokyo. The latter is usually not very practical and Japan has a pretty easy task of defending.

Think it will be Outpost Australia.

trulpen

Thinking about this, but we have alternatives.

The attack on Kwangsi for instance, only using 2 inf and hoping for luck. Big risk of failure though. Or just skip that attack to maximize forces up north.

I think the stack belongs in Kweichow.

farmboy

Using the SB on Gib is fine. I had suggested Scotland as the way to get it to Moscow but you have another turn to do so there is no urgency.

For the US fleet, 54 is good in it saves you the ANZAC blocker and you can reach the islands and Malaya, but I would still probably stick with Caroline Islands in that it gives you the range to threaten his fleet in 36, and limit Japan spending. He doesn’t need to do much to stop it but I think this ties his fleet up there more and makes placement more difficult. It might be that the US fleet is too underpowered at the moment to really threaten that but if it can, that would be my suggestion.

And I would also put some US air (From Hawaii) in Wake Island to give you a bit more range. But I would probably move some of the ANZAC subs and destroyer to 54 to give you some more range.

farmboy

I’m not sure you need to attack both right now. You could just stack Hunan and maybe hit the inf in Kwangsi with a fighter and 2 inf.

farmboy

to be clear, on limiting Japan spending, if you are on 54, then he can safely build 3 inf in FIC and new transports and fleet in 06 without having to worry about protecting those units. In Caroline Islands, if he wants more transports (to replace ones that he is going to lose), he either pulls fleet back to Japan or builds them in FIC.

surfer

Why not stay in Carolines? You can’t be attacked at advantage. Especially if he is focused on India. You attack 3 DEI islands + Philippines + Tokyo and Korea. Forces him to decide what is important.
