I have to concur with the others who have posted. A combined transport and infantry build for Japan on turn 1 is the way to go. If Russia took Manchuria on round 1, and if the UK executed the “Kwangtung Maneuver”, the only place left for Japan to build is Southeast Asia. While initially it MIGHT be safe (the US can take that factory using China and Sinkiang forces one time in 3, and later will threaten it with a southern island hoping fleet), it is too far from Russia to do any good, and forward progress against Russia proper is easilly blocked by Novosibirsk infantry units. Japan HAS to focus on gaining IPC’s in round 1 in order to sustain a transport invasion of Russia through the back door (Manchuria to Yakut to Novosibirsk to Russia). Also, as Japan builds a transport navy (protect by heavy naval forces that were NOT sacrificed against the US at Hawaii) the US has to garrison Alaska heavilly (that japanease transport fleet ferrying troops to Manchuria is a single move away from an all out invasion of Alaska too). That reduces the number of US dollars that can be spent on the European war, allowing Germany to maintain the frontal assault on Russia that eventually leads to Japan taking Russia. So for an opening move, Japan re-takes Manchuria, takes Australia, blasts the results of the Kwantung Maneuver (if executed) or takes China using air force and Kwantung infantry. If Japan still holds Manchuria, they assault Yakut and take it. If the UK builds in India, that simply takes more pressure off Germany and allows THEM to take Russia, aided by the threat floating through the Siberian lands… too far from India for UK to do a darn thing about. YAKUT is the key for Japan. Take it and hold it, you have one territory with all of your west-marching forces to defend it from the Russians, and you force Russia to try to defend TWO territories against your massing forces. The drain on Russia: defending Evenk AND Novosibirsk plus holding Karelia and the Caucuses with an income of only 20 or so IPC’s is FATAL, REGARDLESS of UK and US support. And with Russia gone, the Alllies WILL lose (economic victory is immediate on taking Russia, world domination only a few moves away)
Ally's fighers on my carrier…...
-
according to the rules clarification,
“if the carrier is sunk, the fighter must then try to land somewhere in the same sea zone either on another carrier or on a friendly island there. if it can’t, the fighter is considered lost at sea”ha~
i apply this rule on the case we discussed(ally’s fighters on my carrier). but i don’t know whether it is correct or not. -
Z_,
U got it!
The planes MUST HAVE AN ISLAND TO LAND ON IN THE SAME SZ.
That’s why GB sz is a great place for a carrier(GB is an island in it :roll: ).

ok sry i was wrong! sry about that. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Xi,
when ally’s on my carrier, i know that carrier can move with ally’s fighters in the non combat phrase.(according to the rules)
if the carries move to attack enemy, the ally’s fighters need to leave the fighters and stay at the same sea zone and land on the carrier/territory in this sea zone.
is it right?

Z_,
Not to my knowledge. They were posted to the CV(that’s the AC to you land lubbers :lol: ).

Yes, MOVE THE PLANES WITH THE CARRIER.
You may be confusing this with another action.GAME EXAMPLE: During J1s COMBAT PHASE one(1) FTR from the carrier in the Solomon Islands sz(sea zone) flies to attack the the US AC, FTR and SS in the Hawaiian Islands sz(the Japanese AC stays put). If the Japanese FTR survives the battle(depending on what you threw into the battle) it can land on the Japanese AC. During the NONCOMBAT PHASE the Japanese AC CANNOT move to a sz that would be further away from the Hawiian Islands sz.
The Japanese AC could have joined the battle(during the COMBAT PHASE),
or moved one sz closer to the HAW sz(during the NONCOMBAT PHASE),
or move a maximum of two spaces(during the NONCOMBAT PHASE) to any sz within two spaces of the HAW sz.

i confused, when there are ally’s fighters on my carrier….
for a example, if there is one Germary’s fighter on the Japan’s carrier in set up.
what’s happen , if japan move the carrier attack the Hawaiian sea zone?
-
In your example…
the German FTR moves with the carrier, but does not attack(you cannot take it as a casualty in battle. BEWARE! It will be LOST if you take the Japanese AC as a casualty!
Oh, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Mr. Bill!

DAT WAS ME!
Basr frazen, crakr rakit! Klopt mcjizn purfen ISP!In your example…
the German FTR moves with the carrier, but does not attack(you cannot take it as a casualty in battle. BEWARE! It will be LOST if you take the Japanese AC as a casualty!
Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Mr. Bill!
Any more questions? - Xi :lol:
-
yeah the ally’s fighter move with the carrier but they don’t go into combat. only the carrier does. That the way in the Cd game.
@XI:
the German FTR moves with the carrier, but does not attack(you cannot take it as a casualty in battle. BEWARE! It will be LOST if you take the Japanese AC as a casualty!
I said that the fighter moves with the carrier!!! You need 5 more post or more to get in your head!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
-
It’s still not clear
Ally fighters on an AC MUST move with their carrier if this carrier attacks.
OK, these ally fighters cannot attack.But :wink:
1. Can they be removed a casualties during battle?
2. Can / Must they retreat when their carrier retreats?
2a. Also when other ally carriers are in adjected squares to the square were combat took place can the ftrs also retreat to these carriers?
2b. The same as 2a. only replace ‘carries’ with ‘islands’.
3. Can they if the carrier is killed land on friendly an island in the combat square? -
Well, bless your heart :roll: and don’t you want to be thorough :P :wink:
