3 surprise points used to choose sub combat.

The sea is swept of Soviet subs, with one limping off trailing oil.

Japs should have run to coast as soon as USSR declared war. Next time I know that.

How do Germany wish to deploy their pact markers?

US puts a chit in the Jap pool. It chooses Resources to China for no tension increase and Destroyers to CW which puts one marker in the Ge/It tension pool

Status: offline 		I'm thinking that perhaps Japan's beginning Chinese strategy should be to look at which resources and factories on and near the coast they should/can defend, and forget about going deep into China. I don't think its worth it...China is too big for Japan. In the board game, there is a good possibility to knock out the Commy Chinese...I don't see this same thing in MWiF. Also, in WiF its easier to get unit density to aquire and defend resource hexes deep in China...not so much in MWiF. This more limited ground strategy also allows for the Japs to build out their fleet earlier, and less ground units might be needed.

I would defend Canton/Hong Kong, Shanghai, a city line south of Manchuria: Tientsin - Peking - mountain hex NW of Peking, then resource hex into Manchuria, to Mukden to Pacific. These are just my initial impressions...I don't even have the game yet.

In the future when playing with Japanese I stay in coastal hexes and only attack USSR or defend Manchuria....

Status: offline 		Looking at the AAR's, I have seen a Japanese southern strategy in China work only against what I regard as very poor play by the Chinese. On the other, I have seen several AARs where attacks on the Communists have worked very well indeed. However, in those games I suspect the Nationalists did not do enough to defend the Communists, who are desperately short of units early. In particular, Chengchow must be defended with two units, forcing the Japanese to spend time getting rid of them.

Eventually I will test a major Japanese early push against the Communists, with decent support from the Nationalists, and see how it goes.

Status: offline 		In my own experiences Japan must push into China - or China grows beyond control later on.

My way of doing it is to hit the Nationalists mainly - and to keep across the weather zone boundary because you need to swing up and down from that weather zone to have an offensive uptime of 100% pratically (Since one has european weather and the other is moonsoon that is good weather when in Europe is ****).

This is a game of force contration and Japan must screen zones vaguely, let the others attack you if needs to be, and push hard and savagely against the Nationalist. Which ontop of that have the issue of replacing units in general (Especially as many of their starting units are MILs of Cities not anymore in their possession; so at times even if they choose the Blitz table, and suffer a Shatter, you inflict indirect losses).

Let China grow too much, and you're screwed later on. You'll have a China producing like 6+ BPs per turn pressing against your troops; with your airplanes stretched to the minimum and your naval bombers recalled elsewhere for the naval war; on shortage of replacements and mostly of land actions to be taken.

Sit idle on the coast til late? If I am the Chinese player, I'll sign for it any given time. You do the Chinese game there.
It's like in comparison, Germany playing Sitzkrieg with Russia. You know the outcome.

I hope one of two things:
1) I would have chosen land and railed more troops to Manchuria or moved MIL to block CAV from cutting railroads. Combined was useless as USSR rolled 1 and sunk/aborted all CP's.
2) Turn would have ended after my impulse

Status: offline 		Interesting. However, I don't think I would have chosen Algeria to be the Free French Home country. I would probably have gone for Morocco, since Algiers is too far in the Med, therefore vulnerable for an Italian attack. And if that attacks succeeds, the Free French force pool gets halved again...

These Vichy results are an Axis Med strategy dream come true!

Status: offline 		What's the worst thing that can happen to Japan at this moment? I cant imagine a "doomed" scenario...other than the eventual US crushing that happens. Even if Japan were to lose all of China and Manchuria (and all the ground units)...yes, this really sucks, but you still have Korea and Vlad...plus, Japan has the power to reload and invade where it wants to. Its still early in the game as well.

I would get the Marines ready.
