There is a "WITP Unofficial Strategy Guide" by a number of people such as Mr.Frag, Joel Billings, Luskan, etc. My copy has the remark, "Updated 07/22/04".

I downloaded this from the WITP forum , but cannot remember where the link is.

It includes such topics as "Jap turn 1 checklist", etc.

Perhaps others can help on the link.

Good playing!! Hugh Browne

A "little" intimidating! That's an understatement of British proportions!

Best piece of general advice i can give is: "The less you do on turn 1.....the more you'll have to do on the following turns."

What that means is, while Turn 1 Japan is arguably the biggest pain in the a$$ turn to do in all of WitP, you have to bite the bullet and put in the time to do it decently otherwise your going to be scrambling and working harder on the following turns. (I should know....i once did a Japan turn 1 in under 30minutes.....felt good, till the following turns when the string of "DOH's!!!!!" started happening......

forgot to include a base force with that invasion....planes grounded... DOH!

Certain units/bases low on supply during crucial period....DOH!

DD's needed, nearest available unit in Northern Japan watching the Russians....DOH!

Forward base secured.......no fuel for warships....must wait a week for emergency TK replenishment from Japan....DOH!


Moral of story. Take your time....do it right....you don't have to go "Mogami" on it, but it still pays to be slow and thorough.

Ha ha. 10 days should be just enough time, if just, to plan and program a first turn for Japan for a new player.

Spookys site I think has some sort of guide for Japan and also VSWG's "must read" sticky thread.

Terminus, sent you some data from a previus turn. Also, the op report for the either the March 1 or 2 turn reported sinking of CA Louisville. She is, however, fine. (Fine being a relative term in this instance.)

Almost as much fun as trying to figure out historical stats for the T-72 MBT. 24 hours after consulting or researching the past posts of the 'experts' at various forums (including Tanknet.org) i've come to the scientific conclusion that a coin flip might prove a quicker method to edit my SP OOB's to better represent this and other Soviet MBT's.

miight as well work some more on the next nikmod version

Yes, the more frustrating aspect though is that the armor stats don't make sense in the official OOB's, nor is there any consistancy in those designations even in the better researched armies. Ah....the simplicity and straightforwardness (well mostly) of WWII tank combat.

It involves the Jap player turning off Combat Reports before running the turn. I did this, but apparently it didn't take. Wonder if there's a config file conflict somewhere...

T, I have never heard of a synch issue affecting Japan.

Status: offline 		Bruce,

T said he tried PomPacks method and that didn't work. There are basically 2 kinds of things that I know that cause the synch bug (always affecting the allies like you described).

1. improperly upgrading the game.
2. strafing PT boats.

There are some other things that are strongly suspected. There does seem to be a bug of some sort that is tied to ASW attacks on subs, but no one can figure out what the trigger might be.

Is it an every turn problem?
