A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere

Questions:

1) Does bombing alone of SE Oz trigger emergency Australian replacements?

2) What about New Zealand? Same question. Also, is there a trigger line in NZ for land invasion or is it the while thing?

3) How long does it take for 14 Kt TK's to get from Panama, SanDiego and the East Coast US to Perth via the canal/Atlantic/IO?

2) What about New Zealand? Same question. No. Also, is there a trigger line in NZ for land invasion or is it the while thing? Whole thing.

3) How long does it take for 14 Kt TK's to get from Panama, SanDiego and the East Coast US to Perth via the canal/Atlantic/IO? [:(]

Right, so here is pran for South Pacific.

1) Early buildup of Rabaul...already have construction troops and aviation support there. We attack tomorrow

2) Early seizure of ports and airfields at Noumea, Fiji and Pago Pago (already embarked and waiting for carrier support)

3) Seizure and air buildup on Lord Howe and Norfolk. Then we start bombing Sydney and Brisbane and NZ. Drive Arries crazy...they send carriers with crappy Brewsters...we brow them up.

What kind of seizure? Grand Mal? Petite Mal. You're a doctor - can't you treat that so you just politely ask the sheep ranchers there to step aside?

BTW, about travel times ... about 30 days EC to Cape Town, another 10-14 days just to get on-map in the IO.
Never hauled fuel from Panama, but new arrival xAKs at 14 Kts take about two weeks to get on-map.

I hear the Aussies are working on a coconut oil substitute for the black stuff. That's why they want to fight for those malarial islands up north.

You can got from Eastern USA to Cape Town at Full Speed and not use up any fuel nor get any additional damage to your ships. It cuts down the transit time, too.

Yeah, but nobody does that unless their opponents land at Mersing on turn 1.

Most honorabre Captain-san, [&o][&o]

Far be it for me to suggest how to conduct your most excerrent war. But I am duty bound to suggest to you that you may wish to attack before attempting construction of Rabaul airfield. Austrarians raff at you otherwise.

Domo!

Does a landing in Tasmania trigger emergency Australian reinforcements?

What woman in WWII (D) would risk her nylon stockings like that! Must be under the effects of "reefer madness"!

[Cap Mandrake]

Of course, this will require some cooperation from Arries (in terms of ships sinking)

I think so, but I can't remember the keystrokes that bring up the number code on each hex that identifies which ones
trigger reinforcements. IIRC, 100 is a normal non-reinforcement hex and 101 or 104 is a trigger hex.

Tigers.

[BBfanboy]

Shouldn't that be Tasmanian Devils?
