Interview with the 2021 OOB champion: AndrewAAgamer

@AndrewAAGamer

Makes sense.

I take back what I said.

Are there any other islands though that are useless?

@mainah
The Pacific 1940.2 rulebook clearly states on page 10:
“If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.”

HTH :slightly_smiling_face:

In what way would taking your allies into battle even remotely slow the game?

After hearing this I’m definitely going to print out Alpha+3 and try them this weekend when I play again.
Thanks a lot for the advice!

@Krieghund:

As I have explained before, the reason Chinese movement is limited is to reflect the historical fact that China was also embroiled in a civil war (Nationalists versus Communists) at the same time that it was fighting the Japanese invaders.  As such, it had little interest in matters outside its own borders (keeping the Burma Road open for Allied aid being an obvious exception).  This restriction keeps China from influencing the game outside of its borders without having complicated rules to represent the impact of this conflict.

Don’t forget about the warlord factions!:)  Sure they were nominally supportive of Chaing but he had to keep a decent force back just to police his ‘allies’.

Yes, this is the case in Alpha +2.
