Jap Maj IC in Kiangsu?

The combined UK economy could always upgrade the Calcutta minor, like a tax on 1st turn purchases to prevent radical changes to first turn moves. The important thing is the UK Pacific economy wouldn’t collapse if Calcutta fell.

@larrymarx:

It has occurred to me that a good way to balance this game would be to simply remove the Chinese movement restrictions. It would allow more options for the Allies to reinforce Calcutta or Moscow or to refocus on the European theater sooner.

And it would give good reason for Japan or any Axis force for that matter to destroy China since China is the only nation that cannot be truly destroyed.

Three (3).  It won’t be a major complex until after place new units.

I have started buying an IC in Manchuria on J1, along with 2 transports.  I find it so valuable in getting China eliminated and gone from the game.  I then build 2 mechs and a tank on J2.  They can reach anywhere in China on J4, except Sikang.  Life is good for Japan if the Chinese are bottled up in western Tibet!

It is also nice to be able to build transports in SZ19 so that they are out of range from the Hawaiian fleet.

Looks like I have played it wrong a couple of times! Thanks for the swift clarification guys!

Thanks. I will look again next week. (If I remember my password!)
Enjoy your weekend.

Russian Baltic navy is psuedo viable, depending on circumstances.

Or an enhanced Red Airforce - target? Italian Med.

I recall a game or two of P40 where the DEI were up for grabs. Potentially we had not read the rules correctly or it was changed in the erratica.  Either way Japan doesnt seem able to touch them now.  Probably a representation of Dutch VIPs continuing the war from England after Germany’s victory
