Things you can do in a seven player game if you get shafted being China

@tvarberg said in China - placing new infantry:

@panther said in China - placing new infantry:

Every power that will not be attacked and that maximizes (or at least tries to maximize) their IPC gains and unit builts will be able to achieve huge amounts of units

Yes, you are very right.
My point is just that the China rules to me are very unclear (in terms of Mobilize New Units)
And that you can just over come the “max three or more rule” by moving China’s units and make space for the new units.

Thought I misunderstood the rules, but seems like it’s not the case because basically we are on the same page in terms of the rules I can see.

You are correct. As long as there are no units in a Chinese territory, they can place up to 3 units there during mobilization. So if you move all units out of a territory, you can then place your new units there, and repeat this ad-nauseum.

It’s not overpowered though as Chinese units can not leave China, so if this is happening chances are Japan is ignoring China anyway (as they can easily go around and ignore it). So go ahead a load up those infantry in China. If they are being completely ignored by Japan (I frequently ignore China as Japan), they’ll sit there, completely useless.

@Der:

I was just thinking after 12 rounds China could have 36 infantry stacked up on the borders - but that doesn’t tend to happen?

if Japan is completely ignoring China, absolutely that will happen.  Of course if that happens China is going to be irrelevant anyway as it’s being ignored!

Our games rarely end up with  more than 6 to 8 units in any given territory and that will be a territory that is hotly contested or highly desired by Japan (for whatever reason).
@Krieghund:

@IWillNeverGrowUp:

When placing new Chinese infantry you can place them in any China controlled territory up to a max of 3 units.

To be clear, there is no limit on the number of Chinese units that can be mobilized in any given Chinese territory.  The requirement is only that the territory must have fewer than three Chinese units prior to mobilization, not that it have a maximum of three afterward.

Right, I guess I wasn’t as clear as possible there.  Bad habit.  :)

dang.

I believe it though…

Bought mine a month ago for 82 bux off of amazon, guess i got lucky

Always had Germany play Italy, as it’s the extra play where in AAR it wasn’t a case to think about what to do with the teritory in Italy that Germany had. Think just comes as a norm.

Or…let the two Axis plan Italy together, be more team bonding.

It’s like if it’s 2 playing Allies… the UK player would play America, or play US as a team.

That is exactly how it works with existing fighters roguepanzer.

I am looking at a Them! scenario for AA50

Basically two types of ants, worker ants and flying egg laying ants.

They start with a force pool of 2 flying ants and 8 worker ants

worker ants: 1-1 move 1
flying ants: 2-3 move 6

for each turn a flying ant holds a territory it produces X worker ants and 1 flying ant

Eventually the war stops being fought and 6 players need to kill ants or face human extinction.

I need rules for bombers to perform some kind of carpet bombing on ant colonies.

China’s first turn is treated in the same way as any other turn.  It gets the number of infantry indicated by the number of territories it owns at the beginning of its turn.

Jeffdestroyer is correct.  One infantry for every two territories means that odd territories don’t count.
