Go GovZ! Bring down the Jackboots!

i removed the USA from russia, put the truck in alaska, the infantry and one form San Diego in Hawaii along with the transport.

More broadly, I’m feeling a bit lost in terms of overall Japanese strategy on this map. India and New Guinea seem far enough away that I can’t reliably threaten them without leaving the core Japanese territories exposed, China and Russia have enough starting units in the region that I can’t knock them out while keeping up with US / ANZAC naval pressure, and the Japanese economy as a whole seems to be too weak to solve any of these problems – I’m earning 60 - 70 IPCs/turn, I don’t see a way to increase that, and China + Russia + ANZAC + US can easily spend 80 - 90 IPCs/turn in the region.

In OOB Global and in AA50 and even in Global BM3, Japan has options for its expansion and the hard part of playing Japan is figuring out how to prioritize one or two of those options and make them succeed.

On this map, I feel like I have no options, only threats, and I’m lucky if I can keep all of those threats stalemated.

Let me know if that’s intentional, or if you have another way of looking at the ‘big picture’ for PTV that you find helpful. Happy to hear your strategy advice during and/or after the game.

@wizmark
Noscram assumption was fine.

Before I continue, a small rule question:
I’d like to drive my two subs from the Philippines up to sz7. I think diving under the transport and the cruiser should be fine, right? But tripleA won’t let me do the move. Also, not if I do it in smaller steps.

Do you know if this is a rule I’m overlooking, or a shortcoming of TripleA?

Sorry about all the edits. I was on the phone with Hyundai, complaining about an early transmission failure and got sloppy. Forgot about Kamis, took that back. contemplated a wild-eyed invasion of Rome and forgot to undo that. Decided I should take the bomber as the last casualty in Caucasus. And forgot to drop my Tommys in Africa. Let me know if anything irks you too much.
