@Fishmoto37:

Washington knew the BOMB worked. Why not wait to see the results before spending lives on the Okinawa invasion? Okinawa was needed as a base for the invasion of mainland Japan. But what was the big hurry if the BOMB could end it all?

It is still another piece of land under our control. I would assume the U.S. wanted to get all the land they could so when the war ended, it could be easier to deal with.

Also on the plan A and ‘long shot’, we only had 2 bombs, what were we to do if the Japanese had not surrendered like most of the Generals had wanted to. We still would’ve had to invade IMO.

Sorry thinking OOB. Either way my point is still their. Either way you go, while that power is going to get beat to hell the other half of the world just grows to strong. In our games Germany gets up to 60+ ipcs by round 5 or 6, and Japan is still not knocked out but they usually do in round 7.

I believe you can only get one breakthrough per roll, and if you do or don’t, you have to buy more next turn to research again.

I don’t know if this is just me, but it seams with my group playing America is actually quite a challenge. Yea you get 80+ ipc’s but usually the pressure put on America is alot since the allies on both sides of the map need your help. And when you go to destroy one side, the other side becomes to massive to deal with IMHO

What would a good russian strategy be if germany attacks g1 and buys mostly tanks?

I think it is mainly in the axis favor because of the Victory conditions. I don’t think just winning on one board is enough. I personally think it should drag out until either side has a complete victory, but of course that takes to long, so we usually combine the 2 axis victory conditions in Alpha 3+, since if the allies only focus on one side, the other grows to powerful.

We play with the A3 ruleset, but we don’t take AA guns as casualties still and have modified the Victory conditions to 7 in Europe and 4 in pacific

Ok i think i understand the rules now.

Could you give an example of attacking a strict neutral?

My gamming group figured this out also. We just considered that France fell in mid 1940 and then the battle of Britain lasted from late '40 to '41. so it was roughly the same logic but I’m just confirming your findings with my own  :-D

Your collect income should be 60 unless I’m missing something which could be very true.

Yea that rule really stinks but oh well.

Usually by around turn 2 or 3 i can have 4 transports loaded with 4 inf 2 art and 2 tanks. I could also have some surface warships and maybe some subs while also having around the same number in pacific. I could move transports from pacific to further strengthen my invasion force there also. Usually by this point in our games, the german player is deep into russia and sometimes just bypasses leningrad alltogether, so it would probably be just the 6 inf in Finland. If thats the case, I’ll try to get russia to clear them out so U.S. can help with them later. Plus the German player probably won’t see it coming as he didn’t see a U.K. invasion of France on turn 3 last game.

What is your youtube account, or could you post a link to all of your videos

They can’t sorry. They were in 118 last time and thats 2 away from normandy. ok so what about the U.S. invading on turn 5

I have a strategy were the U.S. took norway on their 4th turn and built an minor industrial complex there to help support russia while transporting troops across the atlantic. This could happen because our Japanese player usually attacks U.S. on J3 because they want to get the DEI as early as they can, and take philipeans with them. On U.S. 3 they move their fleet off of the coast of england, then take norway. We played out a similar situation last game, except U.S. Invaded France U.S. 4.

I don’t know if they should collect the money, how bout it is just like convoy raiding just with bombers. My suggestion (along with the chaos stuff).

@theROCmonster:

I am filming the whole game and am going to put it on youtube when I am done.

When you do could you post a link here to it. This sounds really interesting to see how it turned out. Also this seems to be focused mainly on pacific, what would you buy it Germany has turned into a powerhouse and Russia is about to fall and Germany is making like 60 ipcs without NO’s and will get russias money soon.

This is off subject but has to do with the fact of the U.S. building a minor IC in korea. Can they move within striking distence of that when there not at war even though Japan can not end movement withing 2 zones of alaska or the western U.S.?

Would you by any chance be willing to sell these? lol jk, but they are really awesome I just can’t find the time or money or skill to paint mine like that.
