Japanese philosophy (video)

@shadowhawk I never though about that , that is really smart. I will make sure to do that.

@ampdrive They had a lot of money in the pacific, and the combination of Japanese pirates and German bombers held them off for a while

@crockett36 said in If the object of the game was kill all Japanese capitol ship, how would you do it?,:

46 ipcs can be convoyed from the Japanese, assuming money islands and Phil, May, and Shan State.

Any competent Japanese navy can prevent that. Each sub raids on average 2 IPCs, say you want to raid Java, it takes 2 subs. A Japanese player will send a destroyer and a bunch of planes in making a profit

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.

That is right, Bulwfi. Any IC On a Chinese territory is removed, when the territory is captured.

Yeah, you are probably right about the islands.
I understand what you are getting at about Germany being able to put a Major IC in Norway. I have never put a Major up there, but I have put Minors in Norway before.
The rule states that to place a Major IC, the territory has to be worth 3 or more IPCs and be one of your nation’s original territories. One possible solution would be to use HBG’s 1939 variant map. I think you could still set it up to play 1940 and the only original German territories would actually be IN Germany itself. They couldn’t even place a Major in Romania.

Nice detail Jerc, I will need some time to read it, but I will get back to you with my 2 cents.

@SgtBlitz:

It would be nice if you could actually play the scenario where Germany and Russia remain best buds for the whole game.  It probably would actually have happened like that in real life had Hitler not been such a backstabbing treacherous douchebag.

Not really Russia was planning on atacking Germany at some point, they just got beat too it.
