WW2 Path to Victory - Strategies

So, the aim of P2V in the pacific was to open up other major fronts against the Japanese, not just the islands. And the key to defeating the Japanese is to put pressure on all fronts. I like it

Do allied fighters make Moscow untakable due to how powerful Russia is?
Has anyone gone after Japan with Russia? Maybe combine forces with china?
Has anyone tried to take the neutrals as the allies?
If so, how did it go?

Russia is so powerful that it is in no need of foreign air for defence of Moscow.

Everyone.

Not what I know of.

Ok, is japan beatable if Russia doesnt go after it? @trulpen
-
Should be. The biggest impact is US, but mainly depends on how all of the allied forces are able to work together. If UK-Pac shifts all their fleet west, Japan will have an easier time and Italy tougher.
-
@WindowWasher i think the answer depends on how you define “go after it.” If you mean can Japan be beaten even if Russia doesn’t declare war on it, then I think the answer is almost certainly “yes.” Russia can apply pressure (i.e. by keeping some units in the Far East) without declaring war. The reallocation of Japanese forces in the north should help the other allies engage with Japan.
-
So you consider it advisable to keep deterring force by Korea/Manchuria?
-
Is there a penalty in these rules for either ussr or japan breaking the treaty ?
-
@GEN-MANSTEIN, yes, the Soviet-Mongolian Defence Pact. If JDOW it activates, if RDOW it never does.
-
Why doesn’t Russia get a penalty ?
-
The penalty is that they won’t get the 8 mongolian inf.
But I agree, not much of a penalty and hence the reason why I believe there will be a 95 % tendency of early RDOW in P2V.
Japan should not have much interest in pushing north since south, west and east is quite enough for them already.

Ya. How many Mongolians Inf are there ? 15 ?

8

I like that number. Always felt half of G40 Mong. inf should be half that of 15 and rest placed in Russia to help with no bid. Or at least run back to Moscow on train like 2-3 Inf per turn per territory. Gives Russia more choices. They are Pro-Russia Inf. Gettin a bit off topic probably.
I know barnee was testing a 10 or 15 Icp penalty for Russia if they RDOW on Japan. -
Has anyone won as allies yet in PTV? Interested to see if the small differences add up or whether a bid is still needed?
-
Not to my knowledge @wizmark, although I think the allies are winning in a few of the current games
-
I’ve seen mech-tank combos being used effectively with Russia now.
At what point have people bought them, how many, and what type of success did you see? Trying to figure out a standard first couple of moves Russia. Is infantry still more effective?
-
@WindowWasher speaking just for myself, I’ll generally buy them as Russia only when i want to put an immediate threat on something (for example, to deadzone Ukraine from Stalingrad) or if I anticipate a need for defense in a particular territory two spaces from a factory (for example example, if I’ve calculated that in two turns, I’ll need fast from Russia to hold Kursk against what Germany can threaten with by that time).
And there are pf course other special situations where fast might be advisable (e.g., a successful Sealion, leaving the Eastern Front vulnerable, or a heavy push against Manchuria/Korea).
-
from my current game, 100% KJF works to subdue japan (I think, haven’t accomplished it yet for sure, but im close), but I dont see how anything less than 85% US focus can keep japan from exploding.
Anybody have any experience with a KGF in P2V? Or a more balanced aproach?
-
@WindowWasher 85% just keeps Japan in check in BM3 as well.
