@GeZe:
2 inf. from egypt? Inf can only move 1 space at a time, and do you think russia is realy going to move its airforce to india and leave karila for the taking? and let me reminde you, there is a little country called afganistan in between the russian territoris and india, also there is no units in the 2 southern russian territories so even if russia does use its tanks and they go thru the chinese tereitories, that would take s spaces and it is my understanding that a tank with full range can only move 2. and if the us hit india after japan has taken it with 4 inf and one plane then they leave the chinese territories for the taking and also with 2 inf from the phillapeens,inf from japan ,and the rest of my airforce im pretty sure japan can take, or at least weaken alot india.
Excuse me Cystic Crypt if I repeat what you said, but let me put it it plainly.
GeZe, It is clear that your opponents have never given you a face full of hurt as Japan. Trust me, the Allies can give Japan royal problems in leu of focusing on Germany. This is called Kill Japan First, or KJF. Its not as popular as KGF mainly because its trickier and more risky, but no less effective in the long run. Yes, it does require co-operation between the allies. Any really effective strategy for the Axis or Allies requires them to move in some sort of synchronized way to maximize their potential.
Here is the first part of the KJF strategy:
Russia 1: Buy 8 INF
MOVEMENT:
KAR: 4 INF from CAU, 4 INF from MOS, place 8 INF from purchase
NOV:Move all 4 ARM to NOV from wherever they are.
YAK: Stack 6 INF here
SFE: 1 INF remains.
India: 2 FTR to India
Status:
KAR: 19INF, AA, IC
CAU: 1 INF
MOS: AA, IC
YAK: 6 INF
NOV: 4 ARM
SFE: 1 INF
India: 3 FTR(1 UK, 2 rus), 2 INF (uk)
Collect $24
If Germany attacks Karelia, It can muster:
10 INF, 7 ARM, 5 FTR, 1 BMB
This assumes that the TRN in the Baltic is used to haul INF from Germany to Karelia.
Results:
AA gun will kill 1 plane on average.
Round1:
19 INF kills 6.3333 = 6
10 INF, 7ARM, 4 FTR, 1 BMB kills 1.66+3.5+2+.6= 7.8 = 8 kills
Round2:
11 INF kills 3.66 = 4
4 INF, 7 ARM , 4 FTR, 1 BMB kills .66+3.5+3+.6 = 6.8 = 7 kills
Round3:
4 INF: kills 1.33 = 1
7 ARM, 4 FTR, 1 BMB kills more than 4
Okay so now Germany has Karelia with 6 ARM.
FIN, EEUR, UKR are all MT. You can move up to 4 INF from Germany and SEU to EEUr, and place purchased inf in GERmany Weu has 2 INF plus any planes you land there.
We’ll assume that the GIB BB was sunk by a combination of the SEU BB and the WEUR sub. with no losses to the Germans.
The sub in the baltic sinks the Rus TRN at the UK SZ before it is sunk. ( I am feeling generous today).
UK1:
Purchase 1 IC, 5 INF. COnsidering the mistake made by Germany at this point I might abort the IC and shift to KGF. but let’s assume I don’t.
The UK attacks KAR from the North with 2 INF, 1 ARM, 2 FTR, 1 BMB, 1 BB.
- Assume the AA shoots down a FTR.
- Assume BB misses :x
Round1:
6 ARM = 1 kills
2 inf, 1 ARM, 1 FTR, 1 BMB = .33+1+.66 = 2 kills.
Round2:
4 ARM = 1.33 kills = 2 because I am always generous to the underdog.
1 ARM, 1 FTR, 1 BMB = 1.66 = 1 kill.
Bomber retreats to MOS
Kar is down to 4 German ARM
INDIA: place IC, 1 INF from syria, 1 from EQYPT to India via TRN, Syria sub to India
Do the usual UK moves elsewhere. Place all INF in UK to prevent operation Sea Lion.
India now has: 4 INF and 4 FTRs.
If Japan attacks it can muster 2 INF from Burma. To bring 2 INF from PHI you must get past a sub and a TRN. The sub can only hit your TRN with 2 INF so this is a high risk manuvuer that only the Burma, PHI and CAR FTR could support the sea battle. That could mean no FTRs in Hawaii though if you attack pearl harbor, and only the MAN FTR can attack india.
So you have to scenarios as Japan to attack India in J1:
2 INF, 2 FTR, 1 BMB versus 4 INF, 3 FTR plus 2 FTR to Haw
-OR-
4 INF (at high risk) + 2 FTR, 1 BMB versus 4 INF , 3 FTR. With AC to Burma to land PHI and AC FTRS.
-Your odds of winning this battle is bad.
-The US fighter in China is alive putting JAPsz TRN at risk.
-The JAP airforce left from the battle in India must land in Burma except for the FTR from Burma. Burma has no INF left so those planes are sitting ducks for a US attack from China and SIN. If you move INF from KWa to Burma, then KWA is a walkin for the US. Ka-ching!
- Let’s assume Japan kicks ass and losses nothing in the India battle
That leaves 4 INF in India. The US will attack with 1 INF from SIN, and a FTR from CHI. Assum the US kills 1 and loses everything.
- Russia attacks with 4 ARM versus 3 INF, and takes india with 2 ARM.
- Ouch! but that means the UK can build 3 ARM on UK2. So japan has no INF or ARM versus 5 Allied ARM in India with more to come.
Moscow is safe with 9 INF (1 from CAU) from the 4 German ARM in KAR.
Remember the Axis has had great rolls to get his far, and their position is less than ideal.
Actually now that I think about it, Russia would ignore India and wipe out the remaining ARM in KAR with 1 INF (CAU), 4 ARM from NOV versus 3 ARM.
Whew, I’m tired.
