[innocentbystander]

If the Americans use their transport to try and take the Philippines, I am going to use some Kamikaze rolls at the transport.  It depends on what you move to the sea zone (for shore bombardments) and how many I use.  I am a little shaky on the rules on those.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

No problem.  I will ask about kamikaze’s before any possible combat where they are an option.  If you use even a single kamikaze, it prevents all bombardment from all ships!  It is quite useful to always have 1 kamikaze in reserve.

            Battle in Burma
                Chinese attack with 2 artilleries and 2 infantry
                Japanese defend with 2 infantry
                Chinese win, taking Burma from Japanese with 2 artilleries and 2 infantry remaining. Battle score for attacker is 6

…how was that possible?  I thought China was entirely “restricted” to attacking territory only within China?  I have seen games where the Japanese player has completely abandoned/boycotted China and their troops just helplessly mass in China, going nowhere???

Burma is the one exception to the China movement rule.  That is why TripleA allows the move.  It is quite faithful to the rules.

In that case, I concede.  If you don’t have China re-liberating Burma, Japan captures Calcutta this turn, I get all the money, and (perhaps) I keep your capital the way I would probably keep Singapore.  But with China having so many troops to reopen Burma and let the British mech inf right back in, I can’t keep it.  And I can only attack it (and Burma) once with my transports where they are. I planned this whole thing for Japan-8 three turns ago not knowing the China-Burma rule.  Good game.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Hmm, I don’t know how the China-Burma rule is so critical in your plans.  UK could have recaptured Burma itself if China hadn’t done so first.  Even if I lost India eventually, I don’t think that was big enough of a swing to change the tide of the battle.  They were only making 6 PUs on a consistent basis now.  A couple money islands is worth the same amount.

If you think that rule was so game changing, I can redo China and never ever go into Burma to see how that affects the outcome.  I don’t want to win simply because there was a rule that you were unfamiliar with.
