yeah I been noticing the sino / russia japan give up the pacific thing… it usually fails hard, but germany takes russia on G5… thanks to japan’s bombing runs. The pacific looks like a mess after that, but whatever.
I mean it is a dead giveaway when japan buys bombers J1 and J2. airbase mid china just to bomb russia and land in belarus… yeah… pretty obvious lol.
I suppose a major industrial on j3 followed by an infantry spam would keep japan in the game after this point. I don’t really care, comes down to germany taking egypt or london after this. I guess axis could go for economic gains… but you won’t be on par with the allies as a whole… may as well rush.
The idea is to bomb russia come J3 land belarus. J4 attack russia with all the air units then G5 attack and take it. Bam, G5 russia.
Sure if you don’t want to lose all your japan air units just bomb russia another round and take it on G6.
Tough call… comes down to rushing for egypt or london anyway… japan’s air loss advances you another round, but you pretty much give up on the attempt to resurrect the pacific… but whatever.
I prefer G5 russia over G6, sure japan loses all his air on a suicide attack just to kill like 5-8 infantry so you can take russia… but you get 11 ipc in return to germany and russia does not collect and buy crap another turn… another turn ahead on the buy to get to egypt / london, which is important because you are outproduced… it is an all in strat to begin with.
