It does sound interesting and after all, bombers are so fun as it is. :-)
That’s good to hear about the Atlantic. I guess if the US commits to the Atlantic the extra bomber won’t slow much. I’m thinking a 2 carrier rd 1 buy with dd. And the US can conservatively have 1 dd, 1 cru, 2 ac, 4 ftrs, 1 bb floating around and that doesn’t even include a round two buy.
That’s definitely a solid plan of attack for J.
It’s just not a commitment I want make on J1, without seeing the US plans. Just personal preference there.
I should say, I’ve been assuming the UK hits the J trn/dd in Sz 61 on UK 1 and no sz 37 attack. Ftr/cru to Sz 61. UK AC to safest spot on eastern afr, the Aus Cru/trn 2 inf to safe spot in South East Pac (either to go to Afr or join up with US Pac fleet). Also an avg bid 9-12 used on maybe 1-2 inf Egy, 1-2 inf Rus.
I also think there are some German openings that make the EI IC on J1 a little safer IMO, but I personally like to see what the US is up to before I place any J factories. I’m a big fan of trns on J1.
Those are certainly good points, but it is not that the US is going to take EI, it is that you are never going to need those (4) build spaces for Japan. Or more accurately, be able to use them every turn.
The problem with the factory is you are ultimately going to have to defend either Sz 37 or Sz 60.
The US can pretty quickly go to Mid or Ala (say US 2). Then you go to Wake (US 3). Very quickly Japan sees the US coming at them an must counter. And once Japan counters with additional ships or air, you don’t need 12 build slots and you won’t be needing to place tons of Navy in Sz 37 at this point b/c the US can have a token threat on Japan.
Again, I’m not saying Japan will fall or EI will fall, or the US will sink the J fleet anytime soon, what I’m saying is you spent 15 ipcs on something that:
1) You won’t be using for its intended purpose (crush india sooner) or using very much at all
2) You won’t be needing for added build slots since planes and possibly ships are more expensive than inf and rt.
I think the safer play is to just to wait until J2. Yes you don’t get to India any faster, but you also get to see if the US pulls out of the Pac or how they plan to play on US 1.
Personally I don’t like putting the target out there on J1. It just invites a scenario where you feel obligated to defend it and you end up not placing a bunch of units down there as the US builds up its navy and moves out into the Pac.
Seems interesting, but wouldn’t it be that much harder for the Allies to get a fleet in the Atlantic? Germany gets an extra 4 attacker and the Allies have no added ships defensive points for a navy.
Germany could even buy a 3rd (or 4th) bomber on G1 and really mess with the Allies getting a fleet going.
I do like the idea of a UK bom in Ind. :-)
Great Article!
POLAR EXPRESS
In the Polar Express, you set up to quickly ferry troops into Alaska, building a factory there and penetrating as far into the American interior as circumstances allow. This opening won’t let you actually conquer the United States unless your opponents royally screw up, but it can distract the heck out of the USA during crucial turns when they really need to be ferrying troops to Paris.
There is an interesting variation to this using Germany too.
G1 - buy AC + DD otherwise normal G1. Take Gib.
G2 - Unify G fleet off of France
G3 - Take Ecan and on J3 take Ala. (I’m not sure if Wcan is in play on J3, it may depend on transport movement on J2)
This was a really nasty surprise in Revised b/c J could drop directly into Wcan from the Ala sz (I forget the #). It’s a little different here, but you can still surprise the US.
–---------------------------
I like the idea of the East India Factory, but the problem is the commitment on J1. It opens Japan up to a US Pac strat, with minor annoyance from any surviving UK ships. I’m not saying you are going lose the factory anytime soon to the US, just that I’m going to force you to defend it, or at the very least buy navy so you won’t be getting the “planned” troops to Asia. I’m going to try an make it a “wasted” purchase.
A lot of this can depend on if Pearl was hit or not and what the Allies did with the UK ships etc., but it is an option for the US since you get to see how all of rd 1 played out.
There usually is a fairly safe spot to land the bomber.
Assuming the US gets one hit and you lose your 4 move ftr you can end up with a sub/cru left there, and the cru blocks some moves, but even if US wants to go after your bomber that exposes their battleship. It’s not usually a trade they’ll want to make that early, especially if they were planning on bringing the BB to the Atlantic to help with a KGF. The surviving cru also becomes the “easier” 12 ipc target to hit with potentially less risk of a counter depending on where the J ACs are.
I’ll typically plan on landing my surviving J ftr with the bom so I have the freedom to move my two carriers where ever I want, then I gauge the results of Pearl and figure out if I really need the ftr with the bomber or do I need it elsewhere.

Good game guys and well played guys.
Geograph is the Winner!
Congrats and well played!
Thanks to everyone who played and making it a successful tournament. I think it went pretty smoothly for a 16 player tournament and assuming we’d have interest I’d have no problem setting up another tournament in the future. We can let Geo celebrate his victory a little bit though. :-D
Perhaps in the spring, maybe a few weeks, I’ll look towards do a sign up or something.
Any comments about the tourney? Improvements or things we need to do?
Thanks again to everyone who played and watched the games.
I enjoy our game too! They are really fun. :-D
Another one would be great. Maybe in a few days or a week or so. I can shoot you a PM or something when I’m ready.
Inno -
I think this is a good time to call it. I don’t really see a way out for the Axis here. Germany can still be a bit of a pain, but not to the point of cracking Russia or somehow sneaking in an effective assault. I’m left with hoping you attack me at some point and I get great dice, but you have little incentive to make any attacks that aren’t heavily in your favor.
Sorry my pace got a little slower at the end, week days started getting more busy for me.
It was a long game but I never felt like I could get J going. I was able to do some things by getting your fleet a couple times but couldn’t do anything in Asia. I never really recovered from your opening. I do think I’d play G differently with that kind of open, but it was neat to see.
Good game and well played!
