Whats a good way to stop the japanese from taking over china

I feel like a Russia-Japan non aggression pact would make it too easy for Germany to be taken down.  The real battle of the game is whether or not Japan gets to Russia before everyone else gets to Germany.

Well, we girls don’t normally do too well in this game, Unnamed.  We get picked on by the boys a lot. :)

Then again, I’m here to tell you that there is at least one other girl in the world that does play this game and enjoys it.  Even if my win/loose record isn’t the best. (Currently 3W, 1D, 5L)

At least some of us try,  :roll:

And I’m glad to know that I won’t be the only girl playing, although I think I might be the only Ontarian on these boards… :|

Dunno where Cystic Crypt lives, but he’s in Canada somewhere, he might be from Ontario. :)

entirely different version.

Who says the fighters will be lost?  The fighters will prevent Germany from taking Egypt and after the UK kicks Germany out of Africa, Russia can move them back.

I think a big problem you’d have with a Jap invasion of Alaska is that you’d have to dump a fair amount of troops just to keep up. Say the US is building 10units a turn, you’d have to do close to the same. Even if Japan has 45-48ipcs this means they are only going to send 6 guys to Asia, and eventually when the Brits have retaken Africa, and pinned Germany back in Europe the Russians would come roaring through Asia. The end result is Japan would hold very little of Asia and only Alaska. In otherwords they could be starved out.

They would still be sunk in the first round. The best efect this would have I think is to possibly delay the attack on the german med. fleet and delay the Americans one turn from hitting africa or europe.

Movement does play a large part in war today. Simply put, whoever can muster the most amount of forces in the least amount of time wins. Supply lines are just as crucial today as they were in Napoleon’s march on Russia. Also, the deployment of ground troops is greatly strengthened by Hercules transport planes and the helicopter. Land speed has improved with recon bikes and light vehicles. Sure beats, plain old marching that dictated movement before the invention of the auto and airplane.

War is still full of emotion. Have you seen, “Black Hawk Down?” If you haven’t, I suggest you do, it’s a very emotional movie – I have war vets that have cried after seeing the movie. However, war has become less glorified and less romanticized, meaning some spirit is lost. But compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor still shrink to insignificance.

LOL, not in any ways a Vietnam Vet or born even close to that time period. Where did you manage to get that from? But the statement made by Sir Yanny about North Vietnam is more of a misnomer. In the Linebacker I and II aerial offensives, we bombed much of North Vietnam to smoking ruins. In fact, it was the success of the linebacker II operation that persuaded North Vietnam first to cave in and negotiate on the conference table with America, not the other way around.

But the use of nuclear weapons? What’s not to say that Soviet supplied North Vietnamese couldn’t have done the same to us?

“Axis and Allies stands not only as one of the most stupendous works of man, but also as one of the most beautiful of human creations. Indeed, it is at once so great and so simple that it seems to be almost a work of nature.”
