I didn’t ask for a scramble because it would be silly to scramble one fighter into damn near the entire Imperial Japanese Navy. At least it can possibly kill an infantry if it stays. If it scrambles the best it can do is damage one of 4 capital ships that is now sitting at a naval base to be repaired J2. And no enemy units are in range to hit anything in z35 in between J1 and J2.

I’m loving this J1. I think I will always always always do it. I don’t even think if the USSR put all 20 pieces into Amur on R1 if that would stop me for a turn. Although killing 20 pieces at the cost of 10 and a plane might be too good of an opportunity to pass up, to have free reign over all of Asia without the Soviets harassing them… Plus the Germans would LOVE getting to Moscow and not have 20 guys on the horizon.

I went light in 109 hoping to goad you into losing 3 fighters. Not today, huh?  :wink:

I’ve been messing with a tank in Egypt combined with an infantry in Alexandria. If you Taranto, you still have plenty left to take Tobruk, too. And if you’re worried enough about Sealion that you don’t Taranto, you can consolidate back to Egypt and still hit Ethiopia - and then either pull back through the Suez or block and merge in z92 to get your fleet in a better position and allow your Med air to get home to prevent Sealion.

It doesn’t telegraph intent and leaves you able to respond to several scenarios while still maintaining initiative.

I love the z98 sub, as it basically cinches Taranto. But I feel like the tank gives you more options and its impact is longer lasting.

I’d like to play another with you, same setup, when we get done here. I’ve seen quite few J1’s in the league, and it would be more representative of a quality play.

I ran the J1 in another game for the first time (I’m normally a J3 crush guy - but I got burned with it against allweneedislove), and was in a huge advantageous position. I like that it forces me to get south.

Yeah, you might need this…  :roll:

If this goes well, it might very well be my new G1. (Unless of course I get a UK naval bid in the Atlantic)

The fighter is more valuable than a burning battleship. Keeping that, instead.

Yeah, that was exactly what I was trying to do. Lighten the pockets by 5 IPC.

I don’t think I’m ever not going to J1 DOW again. To quote Taylor Swift, “like… ever…”

That G1 went just about perfectly to your plan.

Yeah, no tech. Send up the Scottish fighter, please.
