Japan can scramble fighters to defend Korea, since the rules only state that there must be a combat move in the surronding sea zone. I would go after the infantry in Canada, but with a bare minimum of ground troops, so if he landed a single infantry there I would hit it with an infantry and all my air units. His ground units are just soaking hits to protect his massive airforce, where as you should have more ground units to spare. So the quicker you cut into his air units the better. You just have to be mindful of not taking away too much off the defense of Western US.

Also if it’s only his Fleet from Japan in SZ 1 you could attack that with your fleet and all your air this leaves 1 battleship, 2 carriers, 2 fighters, 2 tac bombers, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer and a sub vs 1 battleship, 1 carrier, 1 crusier, 1 destroyer, 1 sub, two bombers, 3 fighters, and 3 tac bombers. You’d end up with the US attacking 2@2, 4@3 and 6@4 able to absorb 15 hits vs Japan 1@1, 3@2, 3@3, 3@4 and able to absorb 13 hits. The US should win this fight and keep their fighters alive. Without transports Japan is locked in a war in North America that they will not win.

I retract my vote then.

Fighters can only scramble from islands. The game defines islands as a single territory completely surronded by water. For example you can scramble fighters from Hawaii, but, not one of the two New Guinea territories.

I really should not respond to these threads. Try it out in a forum game, I promise you it will not work. US should have bought 5 infantry turn 1 and 5 infantry, 4 fighters and a tank on turn 2. US fighters cannot scramble over SZ 10 (that alone causes me to question the wisdom of these tactics), nor should the US fleet have been there. They should have been safely out of reach in Hawaii except for one Destroyer to block shore bombardment.

I vote yes…Abbysinnia should be a country, but, no Canada should not.

Did we decide if New Guinea is an island in the real world or not?

@dakgoalie38:

Neutrals should be able to declare war.  After all, this board game has the player taking on the role of the leadership of the world at the time.  Why shouldn’t Switzerland be able to declare war on China?  Or Mongolia launch a full scale invasion of Canada while they aren’t looking?

And what about breaking political alliances?  What if I, as the role of Winston Churchill, decide my people need more living space and declare war on ANZAC so that I can send all the convicts of my country to wreak havoc on the kangaroo populations while I sit back on my lounge chair in the United Kingdom watching as my ally Benito Moussilini masses up his forces in my homeland to defend me from a Soviet invasion since I decided to do an all Canada build out of fear of Mongolian aggression?

I award you no points…and may god have mercy on your soul…

It could have been a misleading questionaire…

I like to think of it as a sign that new players are being recruited, which is always a good thing.

As far as I’ve heard nothing has been said about England in Euro40. In fact from what I’ve heard England will be two territories, so it will not fit the game definition of an island.

Doubt it. You may want to try Third Riech if you want a more in depth game.

I can hope for whatever rules I want!

I’m hoping for a Hitler Youth rule, where after 8 turns all German infantry attack and defend on a one!

I suspect Russia will be a pretty fun power to play.

Brit infantry will need huge Prince Charles sized ears too…

If he gets Katusha’s mounted on pick up trucks then I respectfully request those dogs they used with mines on their back to kill tanks as the Russian mechanized infantry.

Yes it can. Krieg confirmed it on BGG.

So really as the US player I could just sandbag and let the Axis win, if say the UK player doesn’t chip in for pizza (again)?

Board game geek, I can check them out at work, but, the web filters block this site, so I have to do all my forum surfing at home.
