Converting to KJF

What I normally do is take my charger to my phone and connect it to my PC/Laptop and I’m able to download any shots to my PC but I’m not sure if that’s the same for you.

I don’t usually move my Manchurian/Korean forces anyway with the exception of maybe 2 infantry, the artillery and mech infantry since they are kinda useless sitting there being attacking units. As for the 2 fighters and 2 tacs I’ll likely move 1 fighter and 1 tac to fill a carrier up and leave the other 2 for defense.

If you do you’re live stream, suggest that Japan does do their basic builds. What I usually go for is a carrier, transport and infantry for J1 build, no J1 attack. Turn 2 build I’ll gain exactly 40 IPC’s (30 for territories, 10 for NO from America), Which I would buy 2 transports, 2 tanks, a sub and destroyer or replace the 2 transports and tank for a battleship if the Americans are doing your wave strategy to rienforce, as well as stationing on Caroline Islands to recover any damaged capital ships. Turn 3 build I would build a Minor complex, cruiser, destroyer and another carrier and fit a figher and tac bomber on it. At this point I’ll have 5 carriers since I will absolutely be keeping my carriers out of range from the United States Navy. And with that I basically only have to build destroyers from here on.

So I modified what you said in our test that is going on. I didn’t move the northern forces but didn’t stack in Manchuria but instead Korea as that is where the US wants to land. Built 2 transports and the IC rather than a carrier but I can build one next turn. So it’s sort of your strategy but mixed up a bit.

@squirecam

That’s totally fine, as Japan that is generally what I’ll build, either a carrier or an IC and I assume you put the IC on Shanghai…? Unless there another area you had in mind to put it.

But either way, those are the 2 general builds that I will go with on one game or another, with the IC and 2 transports build, that’s usually if I’m doing something with Germany that requires Japan to ease into the war instead of rush right in attacking everything. While with the carrier and transport, I take to this as a more aggressive stance to be ready to pounce at the Allies as early as turn 2 or turn 3. Either method works out just fine.

I put it in Korea. Reason being that if I have sea units I cant be building multiple IC to defend but I can eventually have one major IC in Korea that can produce 10 land units. Slower on mainland but far easier to defend.

@squirecam

True that, especially if the UK is providing ample support to China through Yunnan then Korea will be more more efficient.

@squirecam

I assume you’d ge pumping out fast movers like tanks and mechanized infantry to cross China quickly and efficiently.

Another thing I would also potentially put on Korea is an airbase in case the US try anything on Sz 6 that way you’ll have a 6 plane scramble

@crockett36 Sure, PM me and we’ll set up a game.

@crockett36

What exactly are you referring to by Asia being ‘bare’? Bare of Japanese units? Bare of Chinese or British units?

@crockett36

Not sure how that coulda happened, you should have pretty much an abundance of ground units and continually following the standard procedure but you’d have to let me know what happened since I haven’t seen the map

No worries man, I know technology can be pretty difficult to deal with.

@crockett36

Just watched the video, and having looked at the setup with your 2 blockers on Seazone 30 and 31, and personally for me I’d send my fighters to go take out that free aircraft carrier, seeing as I don’t think there are any fighters on guam (i’m not super familiar with Triple A so you’d have to let me know of the information) as well as send in some cannon fodder to take some hits as a nice little pick up, Personally I wouldn’t send my transports that far down to 36 since I mean you really don’t have to worry about Southern China until the rest of your Northern Forces cave in on the Chinese as well as the idea that there is still a chance for the UK to declare war if I left myself too open as Japan.

Basically if the UK declared war then I’d likely capitalize on the fact that America is not allowed to join the war until turn 4 (officially perform combat) and proceed to then fight only the British and Chinese, but that’s just my take, you’re demonstration on Triple A was much more in depth and detailed then what I could offer so I give you credit for that.
