@bigchris:

glad to see someone putting that idea to good use!  i’ve also found that 5 INF, 2 ARM, 1 ART = 8 units for 29 IPCs is more effective than 4 INF, 4 ART = 8 units for 28 IPCs (if you can get the extra $).

Instead of art I try to buy as much armor as I can when possible.

I also like the allied “blitz” idea to take Ger as fast as possible within 8-9 turns. Recently I’ve been experimenting using Soviet to become part of the attack. Let’s say, in the example as described over, that Ger has 50 inf. + tanks and fighters and USA and UK have no chance of taking it. With 8 inf, 8 art and 2 fighters from Soviet it’s actually possible to take Germany!

I have moved this tread to a new one since I don’t got any answers. I have been using this strategy for a while:

I think this strategy is very good, except that I don’t ignore Africa! I prefer to shuck troops to Norway, Karelia, Eastern Europe and then attack Germany as described in the tread. However, there are two problems that I often face:

1. Germany plays defensive from turn one and buy almost only infantry. This is the hardest situation where I often lose. Let’s say I have 32 inf. 32 art + 5 ftrs in Eastern Europe (16 inf. and 16 art. from UK and US each). Then Germany have about 50 inf. 6 fighters and some tanks and Japan is sending about 5-6 ftrs to support Ger. When running a combat simulator I have no chance to win. What shall I do then? Wait for more reinforcements? Try to attack Balkans and then Southern Europe to establish a base?

2. What shall I do when Germany leaves France open? Let’s say I have 8 troops to Norway and I’m ready to shuck 8 more to Karelia. Shall I start to invade France or is it best to ignore it and stick to the plan to attack Karelia with everything.

Thx for the info all of you!

So when do u guys use this strategy? I tend to use this strategy when Germany buys very much inf. first turn and/or Japan buys 2 IC’s first turn . Any comments?

Hi. I’m new to the KJF strategy and I need help with my strategy for the US. On my first turn I start to build 2 ac and 1 sub. Then on second turn I buy 1 ftr and 4 sub. On turn 3 I start to advance to take Solomon islands. Turn 4 I take west indies. Then what? Suppose that Japan has lost 0 units and have collected all his fleet in SZ 60. I have heard that many buys an IC on turn 4 or 5. Why is that and where is it best to place it? Hope you guys can help me! Also, what is the best buys after turn 3 or 4?
