Hehe not sure what this thread is about but yeah, containing Japan can be done. Just keep the Russian units on the Manchurian border as a threat. Use the American fleet to make threats where Japan is weak (i.e. the South Pacific or the North Pacific). Use British fighters to support Russia and India. You don’t have to take any aggressive actions. Just putting your troops where they can pose threats forces them to defend, slowing down their expansion, and if they don’t defend that’s when you strike.

Attacking early as Russia is possible but quite risky. Pressure and attacks from all sides are necessary. However, usually it’s Germany in these scenarios who will become super strong and take Moscow. You can contain Japan however it’s much harder to defeat it. You need to wait for them to make a mistake. It’s often easier to defeat Germany.

However, I must say that it has been a very long time since I last played OOB G40, so you have to take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

@SuperbattleshipYamato hey,
I´ve been trying to find other ways of saving egypt but it always comes down to a show off (a taranto 2.0). I´m making a video of a possible alternative but the problem is the axis (italy) will have options with their fleet so it´s difficult to foresee solutions for all these options .

@MuddSlinger Check the French destroyer sinking three Italian transports. The rule on carrier scramble for PtV says that scramble is possible only if there are defending warships in the seazone, which transports are not. The game is not doing it properly, it is asking for scrambles.

I know you are new to PtV (but are learning very quick!), so if you were not clear on this rule, and have seen the French DD there but thought you will defend them with scramble - please edit the situation back. Put Italians back on the board and send French transport back to the Red Sea.
