Always attack the sub and transport on T1. Not doing so gives Germany too many other options. I usually consolidate my [east]forces in Yakut, and my tanks in Evenki Nat’l Orkug. In the West I always by mostly infantry, sometimes I buy a tank or three depending on who I am playing. I also attack Ukraine (most of the time), and use only the tanks, causasus inf and a fighter.
Bossk has some real good “methods” as russia that have to do with hit-and-runs to kill all of Germany’s infantry.

there, now its definite

(I used to hate indecisiveness, but now I’m not so sure…)

Yanny, that’s not what I meant, you used to be just a patron to this forum and I, for one, enjoy hearing your input on things that I think up or situations I have faced.
I mean, sure, things are a little different with you being a moderator, but you are one of the main ways that I learn about these advanced strategies that everyone keeps talking about.

Yanny, you’re too good to stay out of the conversations

what I usually do is, say I’m rolling 5 inf, a fighter, and three tanks(on attack), roll 5 white and 4 red and say that the red is for the 3’s and the white is for the 1’s.
Or if it is a small battle where each side only has one type of unit, we roll at the same time.

would it help if we split posts up, like if I’m talking about Japan, one post about Japan and Russia, and one post about everything else.

Japan could care less about the American fleet…if Germany could.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
The ends DO often justify the means

In the AandA 3rd edition, subs cannot submerge but may flee instead. In AAE subs cannot flee but can submerge.

There is a difference between placing units with the 12 IPCs and buying it first turn. With the 12 IPCs you can put the units anywhere that you already have units, after that, you can only build where there is an IC. (and you can’t build any more of them)

not first turn, hawaii to worry about, not until third or fourth because of the very important need of putting troops in asia. I find that doing it then also distracts the US from germany and pulls much of the units in NA to Alaska. Therefore it is worthwile to land at least 6-8 inf in there. If they leave it alone, then leave it alone until later when you have the options of taking W U.S. or more;(and get an extra 2 IPC a turn from the US). I find that trying to mount an assault on the US as Japan from alaska is difficult as long as there is anything in W U.S. (due to the difficulty to transport tanks, 2 man perturn limit on IC in ALaska, distance from Japan which gives US time to prepare, etc.) I like to only do the assault if Germany is going to be in trouble soon or they ignore me.

sorry about the 2x post

The key for Japan is to do everything cheaply:
cheap transports, infantry, subs
the only expensive things required are fighters and they pay off in the long run.

Britain should not worry about africa, USA should instead. Britain should help Russia, and Russia already has her hands full.

why would you buy a tank first turn?
if you have an extra $5 first turn as Japan, then buy tech or an inf or two.

Like japan against russia in normal A&A.
Or Germany against anyone but russia.

How do you play at AAMC?
Do I need the PC game to play there?

Hey, thats a good idea. Might make the islands worth the USA’s time and JApan’s troops.
