IMO, Japanese Sept/Oct '39 builds should be something like 1 convoy point, 1 carrier plane (both just to keep gearing up), maybe the MECH and the rest MIL and...
An ATR is also an incredibly useful tool for the Japanese in the early game, especially if you manage to pick the longer-ranged one. The 1-4 INF div or better...
Best flanking unit for the Japanese is the MTN corps, which can enter 2 mtn hexes on the Pacific map. Great ATR is the 4-pointer, which can bomb factories the...
During the beginning of the game the Germans are definately weaker than history. How many times have you seen Germany start it's war in the west as late as mid...

While I have always played they need to air supply to coastal or lake hexes I believe you are right based on a close reading of the rules. However, iirc every...
Also, please note that alot depends on what optional rules you are using. While I agree that the MECH is good for garrison (2 anti-partisan points for 5 bp),...
The ATR works fine as a strat bomber, reorgs units near lakes and on the coast, and aircraft on the coast also (especially the 3 ground factor NAV). Useful for...
As I wrote in a previous answer, this is not true. I copy the relevant part here : 11.18.1 (Air Supply) doesn't impose that the reorg plane must be able to ...
Actually, in the definition of a flying boat, it says that they cannot air supply units in non-coastal hexes. 2.3.1 ". . .ATR flying boats (e.g. the BV-222)...

Maybe the real leaders were not "competent" in WIF terms. Remember, they had never played the game before and were not quite sure of the U.S. entry system or...
Germany declares war on the Netherlands can it align with China? Can a cw convoy point help supply Russian units in Korea using LOS?(Japan is at war with...
The Netherlands can align with any active allied major power. So, yes. However, this will result in the loss of the NEI, but the convoy points could be...
Yes it can, and the best part/worst of this is that the NEI is suddenly at war with Japan, who has to go take the oil back. It's a good idea if the DoW is...
That's a good point, but didn't the historical strategists have a great deal more time than most of us to dedicate to their own self improvement? By the time...
My question is this Germany declares war on the Netherlands. Allies align the Netherlands with China wouldn't this put china at war with Germany? Making it an...
