I have that Ultimate General game but only played the first battle a few years ago.


For some unknown and inexplicable reason, the first battle of both the Union and Confederate campaigns, are 2 of the toughest scenarios you play.

Yep, the rebs counterattack, but you also get reinforcements. Hold the town till the timer runs out and you are off. The next dozen battles are fairly easy and you even get AI allies.

Status: offline 		Oh thanks for the info. I should retry Ultimate general again sometime.

I watched some of your video. Your fleet in Truk is GIGANTIC. I can understand why the IJN is hiding from you. Their navy would be evaporated by your monster fleet. That looks like a nice battle in the Thailand area. I like how you can afford to casually order two new strategic bomber groups on a whim. Where will you base them? I guess Japan's empire will be rolled back a lot more by the time those big airplanes deploy. I wonder if strategic bomber 1943 is B-17 or B-29? I guess an upgraded B-17 model.

I was thinking you have a lot of nations to manage. I would love to be able to set UK and Russia to AI control like in Strategic Command games while you manage the USA and China. Then it would feel like you have friends helping.

Since you can win a major victory without invading Japan, I am still concentrated on taking the victory points in China, the Pacific and the Philippines. I bought the strategic bombers because of the long time it takes to build them and I have no idea whether or not I will even use them.

I have never had the opportunity to invade Japan but there is a possibility that I may be able to do so in the game, though to be quite honest, time is not on my side.

Status: offline 		In this video I go over the final game stats, some strategy, review gameplay and give one or two recommendations. My biggest wish would be to have an option to continue the game to the bitter end and have to capture Tokyo.
