Attacking Russia, December '41

[Misconduct]

My opponent attacked russia in 41, figuring I was new to the game it would be an easy victory, I was barely into 43 with all of PI, DEI under my control, basically he got bogged down attempting to take it vs a "human" player, except the russians routed him out due to fact he didnt bring enough hardware to begin with.

So In reality even against a TERRIBLE player (playing as allies) vs a veteran player who was attempting to try it, it turned out horrible for his favor,
he did make pretty good head way for about a month, before the mighty war machine started.

There is little doubt that the Japanese Army was superbly trained and equipped and prepared for combat in both tropical jungles and the great northern taiga.
Its fearsome tanks were the wonder of the civilized world when compared to such primitive designs as the T-34. And of course the superiority of the Japanese fighting spirit over the mere tanks and artillery that the Soviets could field had been firmly established in the years preceding Pearl Harbor.

Don't forget that their magic word 'Banzai' would always ensure their victory.

I recall a guy called Jumper managed to get the Russian down to there last base in a AAR not sure if he took it or if his first opponent was a challenge but it can be done and the reward is very big!!

The AAR is probably still there somewhere.

against the AI, Japan can conquer the whole map... every single base, you just have to have some experience and the mood to do it...

Including the US West Coast? That is the only area I have NEVER heard of anyone taking.

If someone did, that's amazing, even against the AI. Taking the rest of the Pacific would cause US units to pool at San Fran, so that the armies would be huge.

Hummm A ways back vs allied AI I actually did get japan to take Alaska then down into Seattle.

After taking Seattle I bogged down.

Mind you, I went on defense in burma, didn't go after rangoon, etc so stayed out of India
and simply took most of Malaya Then set a defense line against British in India/Burma.

Took DEI

Then transferred a bit of Southern command forces to go into Aleuts and took Midway... then moved thu Alaska into Seattle.

But then the AI started massing forces from Sanf/south and Canadian..


I left the Philippines pretty deserted too...

only vs AI it can be dome... in a PBEM game I'd get my beep handed to me I'd say.
