@FMErwinRommel hearing about grass root communist movement in the Japanese capital, the US fleet moved in, to kill such political movement in it‘s infancy… and to put the surging Japanese industry to work for the war effort.

And learning from Japanese engineers helped to increase productivity by introducing modern Kanban scheduling systems in factories worldwide! 😀

@dawgoneit oh man… sorry again: us-18_VBedit_rus.tsvg

@captainwalker use this one please

@Elrood all good

FMErwinRommel

@Elrood I didn’t think that I would be able to defend both Koryak (Korea) and my army in Khab, as both were on the coast and vulnerable to your amphib. But was pleasantly surprised that with building 2 LFs last turn, I could. We’ve been in an arms race, with you adding BCs to defend your tt’s and me LFs to threaten them. But I couldn’t keep that up, so now taking advantage of R & C’s special advantage, conscripts.
Maybe you were headed to Tokyo anyway. I was in one team game where USA took out one Japanese territory after another, instead of attacking Commies. You seem to be having great fun conquering the neutral world, while CP stay stalled. There are 64 more territory income left in Japan. That would put you over 200 income per turn.

Elrood

@FMErwinRommel My inital plan was to keep landing in Sibiria, but that became harder and harder and my attacks just killed your cheap conscripts mainly… So I decided to go for Japan in hopes of shortening the supply line in way you cannot predict all my moves 2 turns ahead. And US needs the income to be able to deal damage in Europe / Africa and now Asia…

FMErwinRommel

@Elrood What if we could disable the fixed two-sided rules and play like Diplomacy or Risk, and change alliances and gang up on the biggest threat? Sort of like USSR and USA after WWII. Probably wouldn’t work like Risk or Diplomacy, since A&A map inherently gives USA a safe homeland.

Elrood

@FMErwinRommel I doubt that would work at all… too much talking

captainwalker

@Elrood Germany and Austria are going over their options. I’ll post after we decide what our plan is.

Entek

After conferring with my allies, we have decided to call this one. GG everyone!

Elrood

@Entek Aww… I had such big plans for Japan! I must say it felt good being an enabled US (bei my allies keeping centrals at bay), and having time to see after my Economy before I actively enterred the war.

FMErwinRommel

GG everyone. I had fun playing T & C for a full game.

It’s very clear to the CP that giving France the industry tech as a bid was overkill. Paris starts out with a large IC right in the main target city for the whole game. G’s closest IC is 4 spaces from Paris. The only sizable location for a new IC is Wurt, which is still 3 spaces from Paris. So, the first FG builds wouldn’t reach Paris until G5, which is when G needs to attack Paris, before it gets too strong defensively.

G can’t afford to research innovation early in the game, as it only has a 1/3 chance of getting industry. And it needs land offense first.

Giving industry to F, means that it can build 5 inf and 5 HGs for the same cost as 8 HGs, yet get 2 more hit points. F can build 8 more units in Paris alone, by F4. And once Paris is safe, double its colonials production in N. Africa, to reinforce Greece and Cairo.

Likewise, giving T industry tech bid, knocks out Arabs too soon. The Arab/Turk war can be interesting, especially to the Italian/Arab player. Perhaps delaying giving T the industry tech until T3?

Private-Panic

As I played F it did not feel that Paris was necessarily safe. For a few turns I worried that G might gain odds in rwo or three turns and was desperate for more GB support. So I would not be so sure that Industry safeguards Paris.
