    • RE: Japanese Victory Condition

      @Gargantua:

      China already has 2 victory cities in it.  You want MORE representation?

      I think there should be some sort of bonus or NO to represent a complete conquering of China.
      A few islands are worth 5 IPCs. Honolulu, SF, and a few others are worth 5.
      The entirety of China & you don’t even get their money.

    • RE: Japanese Victory Condition

      @wittmann:

      You never take China’s money, as they have no Capital.
      It  keeps it banked  until it can spend it again.

      See this is the problem. China is never dead & never considered towards victory. They had no territory. National output was zero. Japan should get any money they have left. China should be considered as a victory condition because the war with China stretched all the way back to the late 1920’s. A conquered China would be a victory in Japanese eyes.

      The US & Britain would need 3-5 more years of war to conquer the Japanese & doubt either would have the heart for it considering Pearl Harbor hadn’t happened and Britain was essentially broke by 1945. Doubt the US/UK would fight it out in 1946-50.

      The whole Japanese strategy was to build an empire quickly enough to make a prolonged war with the US so costly that peace would be negotiated. Without Pearl Harbor as a rallying cry I doubt the US would’ve cared so deeply.

      I understand it’s a game, but it is historical. I don’t think conquering China was properly addressed.
      Just looking for counterpoints.

      We ended the game because I wasn’t in Sydney & didn’t have the force to take it. Honolulu would fall the next turn or my fleet would be decimated. The US could now out pace me & India was starting a slow march east. As I stated above in years the game(war) would have easily taken 3-5 more turns(years).

    • Japanese Victory Condition

      I just completed my first ‘complete’ game of A&A Global. (We called it since Rome had fallen and the US was in Paris.)
      I was the Japanese player and I ended with the highest national production, 5 victory cities, and ALL of China conquered.
      On top of that both the US & British player declared war on the Japanese.

      From a historical perspective that seems as a Japanese win. I was only in Honolulu on the last turn just trying to nab victory cities. Japan had secured a huge economic & national resource base in China, and had control of the Pacific from New Guinea to Hawaii to Malaysia.

      I’m wondering why China as a whole isn’t considered a Victory ‘city’. Taking all of China should definitely outweigh Manilla, Honolulu, or Sydney. I think this should’ve been incorporated into the victory conditions somehow.

      Also I conquered China when that player had $2. Does Japan get that money (no capital is taken).
