I have never seen dice thrown that way (in any venue board gaming or in a casino which I frequent) and I would probably take notice of the technique after a few rounds. Of course that is not to say that it may be possible to get away with.

@daefish:

Okay so if I land US trooper on a land zone that has Italian troops on it and one german soldier but I’m not at war with Germany, this is not a valid combat move until I’m at war with Germany.

If US troops attacked an Italian territory that also has German units in it, you would basically be declaring war on Germany at that point. In land battles, all Allied units defend together so there is no way not to have war between US and Germany.
I think that going strictly by the rules you are supposed to declare war on a nation before making your combat move, but I think most players simply take the combat move as the DOW without making a formal declaration.
You have an interesting situation there with the US being at war with Japan and Italy but not Germany. I can’t help but wonder how well that would work if you kept it up, but I don’t think it would work out. Germany would simply put an extra infantry in each Italian territory and you would never be able to fight the Italians without attacking Germany as well. Then again, in most of our games, Germany and Italy are pretty separated. Italy usually goes up against the Brits in the Med and Africa while Germany dives into Russia.

I think it’s still 8–you need Paris, the 3 Red cities, and Cario IIRC.

@otahere34 said in Thoughts on a Japanese strategy?:

I have a house rule that aircraft on carriers can launch after the carrier makes its movement, cause in real life, if there were carriers in Japan with planes, the planes didn’t take off and attack midway from there, they took off once the carriers got to midway.

@JayDavis said in Thoughts on a Japanese strategy?:

I have a house rule, when I play the US, I get the Nimitz in 1941.

@Peck said in Thoughts on a Japanese strategy?:

I have a house rule too. German infantry can cross the English channel without a transport because in real life people can swim across too.

This house ruling is fun!

I have a house rule too.

Obviously it’s only the French, aka Frogs, who can swim over the English Channel. It’s called frog suit. Obviously.

But that is not my house rule.

My house rule partly reflects the installment of the Vichy government, partly builds on French swimming technology being adapted by the Germans, partly includes primitive rocket science and partly simply because Germans are sauerkraut.

With my house rule the Germans can bounce over the English Channel. In fact, they can bounce over most of the annoying obstacles, like Gibraltar, Sahara, Himalayas and the Atlantic. They can even bounce behind enemy lines, if need be.

More or less becoming similar to flying Tribbles.

That is my house rule.

I think the game would be more balanced that way and more fun.

In my first Europe game, the Allies won after 16 rounds. When the US liberated France, giving them 4 extra men and their economy back, they did help by attacking and taking Western Germany. The next round, USA was able to move through Western Germany and take Berlin. Germany was not able to properly defend it’s territories, even Germany itself, because of so much stuff committed to the Eastern Front. Moscow did eventually fall, but it took Germany a long time to get there and cost them a ton of units in the process. Plus, the very round Moscow fell, the US took Berlin.
One strange thing about this game was that London was never liberated. Once Germany took London, they built a strong force of infantry there and the US decided to bypass that to take Rome, liberate Paris and go after Berlin. The German navy was decimated and the Atlantic was totally controlled by the US so all those troops on England were pretty much stuck there. On the very last round, after taking Berlin, the US had enough forces left in the area and they liberated London. Technically the game was over though because the final German round to see if they could retake their capital had passed. It was really impossible for the Germans to retake Berlin because what was left of their forces were way east in Russia.
In my second Europe game, the Axis won in 8 rounds. So with those two games, it kind of goes along with history. Shorter game/war, Axis victory. Longer game/war, Allied victory. One big thing that did the Axis in was that they were planning on a short, quick war to achieve their goals. When the war dragged out, the greater Allied industrial and mineral resources told.
