scramble?

JapanDOWRound1Fan ,

Did you happen to look at the game that I posted?  I agree that there a bunch of ways to stop it.  The problem is that America has to use resources to stop it.  If they don’t, then you send the guys out there and they have to deal with it.  In the game I posted, Japan made 73 and the US made 67.

In this game it cost me 12 ipcs to send a transport and two guys out to the Aleutians.  US loses 5 ipcs that turn for missing out on a NO bonus.  They have to spend 12 ipcs on a bomber and have to use a valuable transport with an infantry and art to go take it back.  I in turn take the us transport out with a sub.  So to catch up here

Japan  18 ipcs  (1 tt, 2 inf, 1 sub)
US  31 ipcs  -5 ipcs for NO bonus, 1 tt, 1 inf, 1 art, 1 bomber

Granted, the bomber does not get lost and can be used at a later time.  The art is useless sitting there on an island.  Transport is gone cause I took it out with a sub.  And now in order for the us to take out the sub, they have to send more stuff down there.  In the current game he sent 2 destroyers out to get that one sub and the sub survived killing both destroyers…… LUCKY!!!  The main point being… that is 2 destroyers that were not combining with the US navy and Anzac navy (16 more ipcs).

I played another game where the guy used a destroyer to stop it.  I sent one sub out there for a 50/50 battle and lost.  I did not send anybody out there in that game.  I am not saying this is something that happens every game or will win the game for you.  I am just saying that if the opportunity comes up to do this, maybe you should try it and see how the US responds and how it helps out the rest of your Japan play.

I can also understand that this might not make sense because of your name.  If Japan declares on turn 1 then you may never have a good opportunity to do this tactic:)

knp,

yes, if they stacked up an island it would probably take a turn more.  In my strategy, I have about 9 transports by J4.  I think 3 of which would be in Japan.  That would take a lot of resources for UK/Anzac to do that as well.

Maybe your posts should be a little less condescending.  I have never claimed to be an axis and allies star.  I have no trophies.  I only post my ideas and try to be respectful as possible.  Every time you post, and not just at my threads, it is with a know it all attitude.  You are the one that challenged my ability simply because I posted an idea.  I could care less about your credentials.  I have no desire to play a person like you.  I play for fun, not to prove to other people that I am smarter or better than them.  Dark Skies is what he called his strategy.  All I was saying was he challenged you, you accepted and then disappeared.  All after saying how his strategy would never work.  I’m done with you.  I will waste no more of my time on your posts.

Don’t really know what mistakes you speak of with china.  UK in the pacific can’t really be too aggressive unless they want to give up Calcutta.  If US goes to queens a turn earlier then I probably take Aleutian islands and Alaska to get 75 for the turn.  It would allow them to take a TT freely and if they wanted to take more then they would be giving those units to me.

Russia has done great.  Every battle they have been getting hits.  He forfeited a few ipcs but is in great position since his infantry have “laser” scopes or something.  The fact he kept his mech and tank and a few more guys has actually proved to be very helpful as my German push has been slowed significantly.

I would have been more then happy for him to take my Italian navy (which he didn’t because he is smart).  I would have wiped them out with my German air force and then started collecting my med bonus.  As it is on turn 6, I still have my Italian navy (which is worthless) and haven’t received even one bonus with Italy.

Maybe you should focus on finishing your game against the dark skies guy instead of telling everybody what they should or shouldn’t do.  Then maybe what you say would hold some merit:)

so I put 14 on your complex and removed one of my bombers.

Ghr2 was talking more smack:)

So you hit one bomber.  Big shocker.  I think there was only one roll that round where you didn’t get a hit rolling almost all 2’s.  Russia has been brutal.

Rolls: 3@4; Total Hits: 33@4: (3, 4, 1)

It doesn’t matter the attack value.  It just adds 2 to each dice correct?  that’s how I will adjust and if it is different let me know.

So I put my 4 bombers in London to bomb your Major factory and for some reason it just skipped that.  I will do it here and adjust accordingly.

AA guns

knp7765,

I am actually the one playing as the axis.  I use the Italians to can open if the opportunity arises.  We are on turn 5 right now.  The only opportunity I had was to take Ukraine but I didn’t do it cause I always want Germany to have it.

To answer the Africa question.  Depending on how many transports are left after UK1 then yes, I will pull the troops out of Africa.  Unless there is a concerted effort to keep Cairo (Germany helping) I have found that I can never keep it for more than a round or so using up a lot of resources to do so.  I prefer to help Germany (maybe get a can opener) and once I let America in, I shore up the homeland including France in order to allow Germany to spend all resources in Russia.  My German play in this game left a bit to be desired in the purchasing department.  I also have been hit A LOT by the Russian snipers….er… infantry.  On G6, I should be making about 70 ipcs if all goes as according to plan.  That has not been the case so far.  Japan is still very strong at about 74 ipcs but on the US next turn they will be able to take back some stuff.

Stal has been a great challenge and really just confirmed to me that there isn’t much you can do to stop Japan from collecting that on J4.  I suppose if UK/Anzac really stacked Java then it may take till turn 5.  This was just the perfect game to show how distracting the Aleutian/Alaska thing is.  I think I chose the Aleutians on this particular turn because it required another turn before he could get it back without using all his transports from Hawaii.  So Japan made 73 while America made 67.

Here is a game I am playing against an “experienced player”.  As I said in this post, Japan can be making near 70 ipcs on turn 4 with a J4 strategy.  In this game I just happened to make 73.  If you choose to look at the game you will notice that America is left with a decision.

Take one TT to the islands with 1 inf 1 art and hope to win a 50/50 battle.
Take more from Hawaii and lose leverage towards the islands.  (I made the Carolines pretty hard to get)

Any small amount of navy he brings I could get with my guys in Japan.  If he brings a larger navy, that is navy that is not trying to take islands back.

I have done this strategy 3 times in triple a now and all three I had 70 or more on J4.  I even lost 9 planes on UK1 in kwangsi when I had a 94% chance to win the battle.  Helped me change the strat a little bit:)
