Massive defensive boost of island airbases

Great comments from both of you guys.  After playing a few more games, I think Queensland is the safer bet early on in the war also.  It allows the allies to build up and hopefully unite all three fleets UK, Anzac, and USA.  Japan has to really come out to attack you and if they do the USA can counter with units from Hawaii and Anzac from Sydney.    I feel like the Caroline’s islands are more when the allies are winning the war, but it also holds a great strategic position.  So if I had to pick one, I now say Queensland.  👍

@1Bean432:

That territory is considered full-friendly after you captured it during your turn.

So now that its after your turn, its defiantly friendly to the point where you can land planes there.

tl:dr Yes

I think you meant to say “definitely”

@Funcioneta:

Siam is original Japanese (it has a japanese simbol). Manchuria should be as well because historically it was from 1931, but that’s not the case in our game

Yeah, but Manchuria is a Chinese place. Like the Soviets took it, but it’s not like okay this place is Japanese let’s keep it. They are just adding realism to the game. at least i think :|

Ok, that makes sense.  Sorry for the dumb question. :-P

@Omega:

don’t forget the +1 the tac give to Fig. Its a very powerful tool on offensive!

No, it’s the tac receiving the +1. I still prefer a sure def of 4 than a maybe attack of 4. And figs are cheaper while bombers move more. Anyway, no harm having at least one tac just in case

Ok, thanx Krieghund…… I really wasn’t sure where I read it, it just confused me.  I understand now why one was mentioned without other.  Thanx again…

The only thing I thought would be needed as far as replacing chits for plastic pieces would be the AA. The bases and factories I don’t mind having as chits, but the AA I would think has to be a piece because it can move.
