Japans Factories

@mike141500 usually it’s the Soviets that can get more units on the Manchuria border more easily without sacrificing units for other activities pre 1939. This is no issue.

@aldrahill I think it is just a personal preference thing. You can definitely attack at the same time, there is just so many places to hit that it leaves you a little exposed. You can also attack later after you beat the allies back.

I didn’t come to the conclusion that GHG was involved more in play testing and what not with V3 because of a simple reference in the rule book that doesn’t actually tell you what each person did and how much they really were involved. I came to the conclusion because of the title of the video I last linked.

@broken-mortar i have done General Hand Grenade strategy of the Dutch Panakuk - dutch pancake of attacking the DEI on turn 3, this works to great success. My next game as Japan i would like to attack DEI on turn 3 again and then turn 4 invade China (if one side has the upper hand over the other, or I decide that i just want to anyways)

yes it is I - drum1dude hahaha

@chris_henry I think I will just amend the set-up to make it a minor factory and leave it at that for now…

If the rules had a different mechanic for the annexation process other than a combat move then I might think that the medium factory could stay a medium factory. The rules state any factory that was a major or medium in a territory that is conquered becomes a minor factory.

I guess there is nothing to stop the Germans from building another minor factory there if they want but why would they?

I think it was just a mistake when the neutral set-up was getting developed.

No. The capturing power would just keep it, as the original owner (France) does not exist if still Free France and Japan is not the original owner.

@trig Yeah I think it’s very tricky as the “Once” can be interprated in both ways. If @GeneralHandGrenade could enlighten us, that would be perfect
