@majikforce:

We had a game recently where Germany took London and the German players strategy was to hold London for as long as possible to force the US to choose a theater and hopefully wait out a victory for Japan.  The US player attempted to liberate London and in the process used convoy disruption(alpha 2 rules) as an economic tactic.  The German player made a valid point after losing close to 12 ipcs a turn that the disruption zones on the western side of UK really don’t make sense if Germany occupies London.  They should switch to the other side of the island.  So we had a discussion on disruption zones and the possibility of having them be country specific or “float” depending on certain factors.  Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts were on this.  Thanks!

He makes a good point. I think you have to add it to your house rules. With all the alpha’s and changes being made to the setups and rules going on, Just play it with the rules you all agree on and have fun!

Where about in Mass? You’ll find 2+ here in the Plymouth area.

Don’t you think making all the french pieces would be a waste since you really won’t get the chance to use them. It would be like classic again with the Russian cv’s and bb’s. I’d rather see the effort and money put into pieces to represent Air and Naval bases.

The russians took korea so some of japans planes would not have the range to join the fight in sz 6 before an invasion of japan itself. And by the rules in p40 japan couldn’t use the kamikaze attack cause I didn’t take any of the islands that are required for him to us them. Boy did my friend get pissed! Once he cooled off he did raise a great point. Why isn’t japan included in the list of islands taken in order for them to you the kamikaze? He has a good point. What does everyone else think?

Thats what i thought… My buddy playing Japan is not very happy right now!!!

Can the russians attack korea on T3 without being provoked by japan. Thank you for the answer in advance.

@i:

thanks, darn now the americans get to have norway denmark and w. germany…

Don’t worry about scrambing, It sounds like the game is about to end.

keep playing and you’ll see that the USA spending $0 T1 is a bad idea.

I’m happy with japan. You have more options with them at the start, so you can try new idea’s out each game since your under no immediate threat. And when they don’t work, you can still recover. I feel like germany has to do pretty much the same thing in the first few rounds every time or else it won’t be able to last in the late rounds. Don’t get me wrong! I like playing them but the fun of playing Germany doesn’t start till later in the game for me. And Italy is the one that goes to the newer players in our games so i don’t play it much.

Thanks Krieghund. My friends and I don’t play often enough so we all have to brain storm to remember the rules.

This is the situation, I take japan and end my turn with fighters on 2 ac’s (+ some other ships) in zone 6. On japans next turn his/her fleet comes in and both fleets are sunk in zone 6 but I have planes left. can they land on japan now? I know I can’t land planes on newly taken terr. But when does the newly taken terr. become eligible to land them? Right after my collect income phase? or not till My next turn?. I believe it starts at the end of my turn it was taken. Is this correct?  Thanks
