<t> Yup, what Aztez said. This isn't about the HI, it's not about one player doing good or bad, or about the allies or the japanese. It's a game mechanic issue that I wish would at least be playtested and fiddled with by someone upstairs. I hope all those that disagree with my points, have at least ...

I think that a contributor to the problem is the expectation that Japan should always be something that you can approach / bomb / invade by 1945, even if the war hasn't progressed anywhere near historical lines. By the time the Allies ...

I don't think the carrier dispersal strategy is the issue. The problem is that you can't defend your carriers no matter how you deploy them. At some point you are going to have to approach ...

I think what is being lost here is that, while they have successfully explored the frontier of lunacy in terms of over stacking and uncovered the limits of computer processing power vis a vis AE, GJ and Rader did so by cramming an unrealistic ...

<t> I don't think the carrier dispersal strategy is the issue. The problem is that you can't defend your carriers no matter how you deploy them. At some point you are going to have to approach a hostile shore and I don't see how you can effectively suppress the entire japanese airforce when they ...

<t> I would like to hear TheElf's thoughts on the air issue that has brought the match between Greyjoy and Rader to a complete halt. Namely, the ability for bombers to get thru any sized CAP undamaged as long as they have enough escort fighters to use up the firing passes. IMHO this is a late war ...

It'll be interesting to contrast your patient approach and strategic bombing with the rader - Greyjoy game which has been so up and down and all or nothing. Look forward to update maps if you ever have a few spare moments.

Due to the demands of real life, we are only able to get out 2-3 turns a week and I anticipate the game will remain fairly quiet until we get to ...

Pacific:<br/>

Kusaie Island was captured easily a couple weeks ago and is now the key allied hub in the central pacific. It turns out that Kusaie was big enough to allow me to land without being forced to do a shock attack. One of my upcoming targets ...

Over the last several weeks, I’ve been rapidly building up bases to the north and south of the South China Sea. In the north, the Americans are gathering their strength at Cam Ranh Bay, the British on Hainan, and a mixed US-ANZAC ...

Once Hong Kong has been captured, the British will move on Formosa. I have been reconning Formosa and it is surprisingly very lightly held. Once Formosa is secure, the Americans will make their landings on Okinawa. I have yet to ...

Shanghai is the only remaining Japanese strongpoint. It is currently being besieged by the Chinese. The rest of the Chinese army is either marching towards Shanghai or will be doing so as soon as they have captured their current target.<br ...

Rader has built up a strong line along the Korean border. I’m working on grabbing strongly held Mukden and Anshan north of the border. After that we’ll see if we can break thru into Korea but I suspect I’ll find it impossible to ...

In the last month, there has been very little combat and the allies have swiftly gobbled up lightly held bases in the DEI, Thailand, Malaya, Indochina, and China. <br/>

Allied forces are prepping for targets on the road to the home islands. I plan to approach ...

It looks like you are counting on the paradrop to double your AV. This is a false assumption that has been refuted time and again over the years. For some reason people continue to believe it even though it's been tested over and over and has been shown to be untrue.
