What are the capitols?

@Brian8

I don’t know. This kind of thing requires a lot of experience and experimentation, and I don’t have either for this game.

As I stated, I recommend 20-30 IPCs for the Allies and go from there.

Thank you, Panther!

I just finished my first play as Japan yesterday. And my 8 years old son who had no problems following the rules played all the Allies and defeated me.

Reading a lot how the game is supposed to be almost imbalanced, favoring Japan, it feels pretty odd to have lost as Japan against a kid.

So if any other new players read this, don’t feel sad if you lost with Japan!

Looking forward to getting better at this great game…

@tmartin

I’ve never done it myself, but my impression is that the game is severely imbalanced in favor of Japan, so start with a 30-50 IPC bid for the Allies, and revise from there.

@clamoxyl Welcome to the forum.

Have you looked at https://boardgamegeek.com/ ?
Good luck.

Thanks @Stucifer, @SuperbattleshipYamato
& @Krieghund. I suspected that was the case but was really hoping it wasn’t.

@Witt that’s fine. In the situation i was in, there isnt much reason to retreat

@Krieghund

Thank you for clarifying!
