Third round games in the Gargantua tournament of Death and PAIN are being played with the Soviet bomber house ruled in. The third round started this week and they should be worth watching!

Oh, it is, because all the bombers raises the stakes and risks

You can make the dice work for you - if the ships miss and the AA misses, no amount of strategy and tactical ability can stop that.

YG,

––I agree that you have a really good European strategy there.
Our ‘gang’ usually has somewhat the same priorities, although our ‘gang’ tends to make any enemy Sea Transport target priority #1. Thus we usually have some brutal sea battles, and thus require more Destroyers to be used as “cannon fodder” losses.
1.) Take out the German navy, thus allowing security and an Allied fleet to exist.
2.) Bomb the Germans back to the stone ages.
––Go kill 'em

I am kind of interested in what people are having trouble with these 18 inf that russia can throw towards japan? I think those 18 inf are a lot less annoying than say giving brittain more troops, though giving china more troops at the expense of russia’s 18 inf might be a good change. I honestly like it when Russia keeps her 18 inf on the japan border or near it (18 inf and 2 aa guns less for germany to kill in moscow). If you weaken russia’s power here too much it might be worth it for japan to attack russia’s north. Maybe a good way to test it would be to make a house rule where russia looses 6 inf in the east and china gains 6 inf, but you can only put 1 inf per territory. I don’t know if letting china have the Burma road from the start of the game would be fair for japan? US going 100% japan for first couple turns might prove impossible for japan to beat it china is now significantly stronger with those 4 extra inf yunan plus the extra money and possibility of buying artillery. I see japan as being much weaker on the land since china will be more than just a pain, but a real threat and japan will have to buy more ground to compensate making japans navy weaker and in turn making US’s navy that much stronger. I haven’t played and extensive amount of games, so what do people think about the pacific side of the board and those 18 russian inf? Are you guys having a hard time beating japan as the allies, or keeping japan in check?

@Sgt.:

Also, is it defender’s choice whether to take interceptor hits on strategic bombers or tac bombers?

No, it is the attacker’s choice, as they are his bombers.

Sorry, that’s what I meant. Thanks for the quick response!

@Pelanderfunk:

The Soviets get a 5 IPC bonus for being at war. In all of the global games I’ve played so far, the Soviet player has simply “declared war” on Japan on R1, regardless of whether or not they had plans to attack.

Is there any reason that the Soviets wouldn’t declare war on Japan as soon as they can? Is there any reason that being “at war” is a requirement of this NO if the Soviets can always be at war?

This has been addressed in the FAQ thread. The Soviets have to be at war with either Germany or Italy in order to receive the 5 IPC bonus. Of course, it would have been nice for the rulebook to say this directly.
