Indian-Australian IPCs

@cojoh said in US airplanes and chinese infantery:

@andrewaagamer Until now, I didn’t use any CAP. I find it too risky to sacrifice a fighter in order to try to keep a seazone under your control during the enemy’s turn.
Maybe together with some own naval units it could be interesting to be stronger against an attack but I didn’t had that opportunity yet.

You will find that it’s essential to keeping Japan’s fleet alive in the late game.

@krieghund ok, Tks

I’ve noticed that the Wikipedia page for this game has the wrong game for its image! And yet from what I can tell everything else is correct.

Now I don’t actually own a copy of the game to be able to fix it but if anyone else wants to you can change it.

Axis And Allies Pacific Wikipedia Page

@midnight_reaper This is a old thread but TBH they should of kept the design for some of these charts. They are beautiful and the cherry red for Japan looks gorgeous (but it makes sense they wouldn’t do it for Pacific 2nd Ed. because of obvious reasons.

This game illustrates the strategy in use

Basic overview. Japan goes for 40 IPCs 4 VPs turn 1. After turn 1 units from Japan are shuttled to French Indo-China and then from there to Australia. At the same time Japan starts Strategic Bombing India.  Japan will most likely not be able to actually capture Australia. It does not need to. All Japan has to do is tie up the Allies down in and around Australia for a few turns drawing 4 or 3 Victory Points a turn. Once the Allies get a large enough force built up in Australia it is time to retreat the ground forces back to French Indo-China and start using ships to delay the Allies. Even if Japan is sub-stalled this is not the end of the world. The Allies still have a very sizable force of Japanese units to have to deal with in Australia. Also Japans ships from further in the rear can be used for the delaying duties of other islands.

40 IPC’s. I do it every time I play Japan. I take the PI and all the DEI, Malaya, Borneo & Hong Kong. These = 21 IPC which puts Japan @ 40 IPC’s. If all goes well I do not lose too much units due to Japans 1st round attack advantage. (All Allied units, except the Chinese, defend at 1 on the dice) Tonight I won by VP’s, holding over 40 (I topped out @ 45) for 6 rounds. USA had sunk Japans navy on T5 after I slammed into AUS capital after building up INF & ART for a couple rounds and lost that battle. I pretty much had expanded all my forward units and had started reinforcing the India campaign. By the time the USA started to xport land units it was too late. It was great game w/ a few navel battles that cost both sides alot of hardware! Great fun! My boys are grumbling by being beat by the “ol Man” again.  :-D

Those rules make yours a completely different game.  So, I don’t really have much to add from a strategy perspective.  It’s not really AAPacific at all.  It is simply an A&A-type game played on the AAPacific map.  Sounds like fun, though.

Yup, they get the purple income
