yes but i know  that this straight forward rush to japan will fail. u cannot take japan without sinking their navy first and that one tough job. really tough.

just beacause its a new idea doesnt make it good. typical western thinking imho. its NEW! its GREAT! its BIG!. it MUST be good…

look up “inner line”,  look at the board setup. japan is the richest nation. it has a huge fleet. without trannies thats 3 full US turns of naval production + 3 replacement planes.

turn 2 35-40  income. turn 3 50 - 55.  there is NO WAY to kill japan against any decent player by turn 6 or even 8. or 10…

look, the 7 inf will either get crushed J1, or will be ignored and get crushed J2. russia has no option what soever going on offensive against japan.

india… this is more tricky but still in axis favour.  US is all out pacific. thats likely 3 turns of production / positioning before he can do anything ( like take solomons or such)
if uk now is pumping 3 inf or even better 3 tanks in india, they soon will be out of cash cuz noone is fighting for africa. india cant help africa cuz u got japan right next door. so pretty soon u have a 40- 55 ish germany and a 20 -30 ish  italy  saying :

Hello! you forgot us. :D

and while you managed to slow down japan it has cost you so much you will simply loose the game. its not like its a straightforward move to get japan below 40 or even 30 income easy.
hence this whole “plan” is a nice dream and its only benefit is that it shows you what simply doesnt work because you ignore the board setup, the economics, basic strategic principles ( why u think russia can hold against germany just fine if it has no backdoor pressure from japan ( > inner line) and last not least the dice ;)

i changed my mind. dont ignore wodan strats.  ignore every single word of this forum troll  :evil:

this is just ridicoulus. a “strat” killing the strongest nation on the board turn6. furthest away from all allied nations. it will simply fail if u really try it. by turn 2 latest axis know whats going on, and whoops, you die…

tokyo will never ever be even close to falling  before either moscow or london fall…

the only nation that really MUST build at least one IC is Japan early in the game. possibly Italy if they get Egypt AND USA is pacific only. the more ive played the game the more i dislike any UK IC.

yeah, but its imho easier for the axis in the first 10 games you play. allies require precise tactical micromanagment that fits in strategic balance. axis can mess around more… im still not convinced either side has an advantage.

i  disagree :D

@atarihuana:

KGF doesnt ignore Japan :P

Sure? KGF utterly ignores Japan in the 3-4 first rounds. Enough for lose the game for allies

i dont think this  game is decided in 4 rounds, unless u play really bad.  there is no kings-way. you can fight the pacific or can go full throttle KGF. both are viable options.

2 ac for italy? id always  prefer  6 inf, 2arm over 2 ac …

and italy will be happy securing the med since england is pushing half its money into india

the big problem is that russia has no option what so ever going on offensive in far east. japan can ignore Bury, attack SUI with 6 men ,still kill BB , do its normal attacks ,buy 2 tran… and bring around 10 inf 2 art arm + planes + shore shots if Russia moves in Manchuria… or he can attack J1 right away. its way better move thoose inf west and seed china…

KGF doesnt ignore Japan :P

why not? because you expect a dumb an ready-to-die opponent. thats why.

and they dont loose FIC.

yeah i would ignore the BB and simply kil 21 IPC of russias best unit.

you try to hard reinventing the wheel dude…

by G6 japan is dead??   id like to see this playtested :P

and i feel tempted to open a thread “ignore wodan strats” :D

besides. japan can reach india J2 with 8 inf / art /5 planes / CA shot  - losses J1 …

and India IC slows down Japan but at what cost? imfo its totally useless UK1 ( in the long run)

why bother WUS when u can fight US in MED and africa with japan, helping italy, threatening russia. if US ignores pacific, grab hawaii / 2nd island - 5 IPC NO for US and thats it.

alaska is a dead road imho, waste of resources. focus on india/ med its the fastes way to russia. fastes way to help italy (with fleet/ planes) if USA goes kgf japan must reach europe ASAP. forget silly alaska 2 ipc… its no threat at all

if russia stacks 7 inf in bury, jap will simply kill them. most of the jap openings i have seen, can reach india j2. i always set up India J2, i always build a factory In FIC as japan J1 :D

this strat is hoping for a dumb opponent.

if russia goes down turn 4, what stopping german sending planes to japan to help. or sealion?
