I think you have to give up on the J1 in that scenario. With the Yunnan stack, China gets strong, so you need to kill China first. I tried to kill China first with the J1 but it wasn’t enough for me. Often, a J2 goes well against a Yunnan stack I think. I’m one of the only players that goes J2 frequently but in G40 J1 is so much better because you can kill India quickly. But you kept India alive and a big stack up north which kept my attention divided. Perhaps I should have ignored the northern stack, not sure.

Also, the 2tt landing on Java was inspired and kept me from retaking it, assisting with Japan’s collapse.

Whew, order is restored!

That’s iron-clad, and so helpful, thanks!

I didn’t really understand how the rules could be interpreted any other way.

Scramble to z97? Tempted to just assume yes.

Oh I rashly went J1 against a Yunnan stack. No wonder Japan is suffering.

Man… that lack of a transport buy last round was a major mistake.

What would you have replaced in the buy? With one less sub or fighter, I’m probably staying in 35 instead of moving south and really don’t think much changes.

And that was a pretty rough go in Caucasus. Tanks picked a bad time to forget how to hit :(.

At least that makes me feel better. Yeah, 1 less sub is what I was thinking. Maybe I could have moved my fleet to 36 if you had stayed in 35.
