PainState I really like the way you think this into the bigger picture.
I think an all in buy towards china R1 is a bit to risky and not necessary. Coming in a bit lighter ground forces wise and instead supported by all 3 Russian planes (which can easily be pulled back if needed) would do the trick to.
Supporting Yunnan is still better than going north in my opinion. It can easily be stacked by China Russia and the brits.

China rarely own Yunnan at the beginning of C1 and can therefore not buy any artillery.

Now china can support them with some INF and they will be able to “can open” for Russia in the north. Another issue Japan will have to contend with IF China is supporting the Russians and not just throwing every unit they have into the vortex of death in Yunnan. ** foot note **: Should China on C1 build all ART and place them in the north to support this plan?

In my experience not getting china under control is fatal for japan.
I have trouble seeing how japan gets india if china is not under control.

Hi Fellow Global 1940 players,

I play regularly as both axis and allies and up until the last few games the axis had the odds.
In the latest few games Russia send a few (sometimes more, sometimes less) units to china.
2 mechs and tanks you start with supported by fighters sometimes with 2 extra mechs bought round 1.
This really hurts japan, and if done right does not weaken Russia much - since the units can be pulled back when Germany gets close to Moscow. The threat off having them in china alone can slow down japans china crush severely, especially combined with units from india.
I’ve read some threads addressing this but would still like to know what you guys think is the best counter to this tactic.

Hi Everyone,

I know this subject has been discussed before but i havent been able to find a satisfying answer so here it goes again.

I have a upcomming game where we are going to play with “Bid” and i would like to know how all of you do it and if you have restrictions to which/where and how/how many units bought from bids may be placed? Experience to where bidding units can be placed to give most impact would also be nice to know
Furthermore i would like to know how much bids usually end up with being in your games.
If anyone knows of a good thread where this is allready being discussed then please share.

Thanks in advance.
-Maxi

  Hi, yes that is a common question for new players. Actually the rule is that when an aircraft carrier is attacked by anything, the planes are considered to be in the air defending the aircraft carrief like real ‘CAP’ which means combat air patrol. So yes, if you take a hit on an aircraft carrier then their planes have one move to find a safe and legal landing spot or they are gone! The only time that a fighter stays onan aircraft carrier is when the carrier has another partner’s plane on it. Then it is not in the air defending and is considered ‘cargo’. I hope this helps sir? wink

I am pretty sure that allied air craft are considered cargo only when attacking. Since the carriers get attacked in this scenario i would say that they fly up to defend just if they where your own.

Please correct me if i am wrong
