I agree that 92 is probably better than 91.

I feel a MAJOR IC in Norway is a still better idea.

I tend to build one in Poland as well: churn out infantry and artillery on turn 3, mech and tanks on turn 4 and so on. From Poland they can go either North or South, from Romania only North…

My bad. Italy goes after UK, so no can do defending G2 movements.

Italy needs to focus on taking africa if they do they can build their income up to around 35-40 IPC with the bonuses. That gives them some staying power and the ability to help Germany by attacking Russia’s belly. Germany is much more of an effective fleet block for the USA because of their subs. And honestly the USA can afford to lose 6 or so transports as long as their men make landfall your not disloging them.

I would wait a turn and build an IC in a useful place. If you build it in J1, then it will mostly be used against China and perhaps Russia. HK and Singapore are way better options. From Malaya you can be in India in one turn (with fleet), in Australia, all of DEI and back to Japan quite fast. Land units are also quite close to Burma road (Chinese lifeline).

So if you decide to attack the UK on J2 then I would build an IC on J3 in Malaya or Kwantung. If you are going to wait longer then China (and perhaps Russia) may become too much of a pain and you need to transport units to the mainland.

My next game as Japan I will attack UK on J2 in Malaya. It gives you +3, UK -3 and ANZAC NO lost. And it is arguably the best place for an IC. For the attack I need a lot of transports, because I also want to take most of the other prices, like the DEI island, Phillipines and/or Kwantung. This gives your economy a major boost and the UK loses a lot of IPC income. I would also prefer to take DEI island from the UK instead of the Dutch controlled islands. You can take those later and the UK islands work both ways (more for you, less for them).

@Sire:

Instead of waiting for a German attack, why not send troops to bother Japan? The mechs and tanks can be send to China and the three Russian planes can be used to support the 18 infantry stack on the Far East.

My friend and have been playing a game for two days and this strategy helped me a lot to keep India alive. This way, UK and China can deliver some solid blows to Japan and help the US player positionn himself in the Pacific.

this will work in Global but this is Europe…Sire  :wink:

Oups! Wrong board. Sorry guys. I was too excited yesterday from my game and I forgot to check.

Hi Bod,

Are you still around ?

My e is markhosking77@gmail.com, or 6242 0485.

Cheers,

okay here is what I do take (1sub, 1fighter) to 109 (2subs, 1fighter, 1tatical) to 110 and 111 (battelship cruiser fighter tatical) to 112
(infantry, artillery) to Normandy (5infantry, artillery, 4 mech, 5tanks, bomber) to France

-this will let you take out most of the RN with just subs as loses and there will nothing that the U.K. can do take europe.

france will be controlled by Germany. just build a destoryer in seasone 112 to prevent fighter attack on your navy. build a minor factory in Romaina this will frist let you build units in a better position in eastern europe + let you build subs for the med. with this and Normandy you should be able to help out Italy enough
