Ah. Never mind then. I thought scrambled fighters could retreat.

In sea zone 110 do you want to retreat your scrambled fighters after the ships die or leave them?

Would you like to scramble any fighters?

Japan test G1.tsvg

0 Bid, Japan Naval Strategy Test.

I tried PBEM Triple A once before but it was a while ago so I might need a refresher. You can PM me if you want to play.

I’d love to play a game with one of you guys and test this out but unfortunately my internet connection at home is not very good and often I can only get things done at the local library. I don’t want to keep you guys waiting forever between turns.

I will have to try out that app.

I live near Fairview MT, but I might be moving towards that end of the state in a few years.

There is a lot of NOs that deal with the islands. I will have to add up how much IPCs it gains vs loosing the mainland.

The main benefit of this strategy is that Japan doesn’t have to buy any ground forces for a while because they will be using their starting mainland forces.

I have not tested this so it it is all just conjuncture. What if Japan abandoned mainland Asia, used the infantry to take all the Pacific Islands including Australia (Thus only building navy for the first part of the game), convoyed India with subs, and then focused on taking the US?

I would just make the simple change of giving Cruisers a base movement of 3 (Naval Bases do not increase movement for Cruisers). Just enough of a boost to make them worth considering, like the Battleship’s 2 hit ability.

I live near Williston, ND.

I haven’t tested this, but what if while you were setting up the game, you put 1 extra Chinese infantry on all the provinces they control, and then don’t do any other setup changes or bid?

My 2 cents:

Buy a few AAAs and Fighters as Russia. Be sort of aggressive.

Threaten Germany in 2 separate locations on the same turn. The bombers can only take out 1 threat effectively.

Suicide transports to make landings in Europe.

Neuter Italy and blockade Germany with all subs.

Build bombers to bomb German factories and kill the bombers if Germany leaves them exposed.

You probably won’t be able to do all of these in 1 game but you can do a few of them.

That battle did not go well for you.
