USA in China?

@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.

Just have printer make it bigger

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.

I am thinking of allowing the US to move bombers to India in a non-combat more in one turn, and then move the bombers to China on the next, either with a combat more or non-combat more.  It took the US only two weeks to fly bombers from Seattle, Washington over the Atlantic Air Route, across Africa to Cairo and then to India.  As for fighters, once landed at Takoradi in West Africa, they could be flown to India and China on the same air route.  That was how the British were getting aircraft quickly to the Mid-East, and the route was functioning well by December of 1941.  It took two weeks for a newly completed B-17E to fly from Seattle to Java in the Netherlands East Indies and participate in its first combat mission.

thanks and sorry

I think I agree with both of you. I think Japan should just about ignore China on turn #1. That’s to say use everything you can on the other allies as they defend on a 1 on the first round, anything that can’t be used elsewhere should be used against China but nothing really risky.

Japan sooner or later will need that extra 1 or 2 IPCs to get that extra victory point. Often in latter rounds that is the China territories so China should keep that in mind.

I’d agree that it always seems to take ‘just one more round’ for the India invasion. Since Japan must push outwards for 3-4 rounds a good Australia threat might cause resources to be diverted there, then as you fall back perhaps you fall back really fast right into India.

I plan on VPs for Japan so I spend 80% on navy, mostly subs, the odd transport to get units of Japan. I thought I’d never need more transports as Japan but I usually end up build 1-2.

I haven’t played AAP in some time so I am still trying to figure out how to beat Japan. It ain’t gonna happen with the VPs at 22.

Using the W@W pieces is a good idea in theory however the problem I have is that, being blue, they apear dead which suits French troops, but not Ausies. :razz:
