Question gentlemen. Now that we have fixed my son's computer, he wants to start WITP He has another 10 days off). Where is a good place to look on the forum to plan a first Japanese turn. I have not done this yet and finding it a little intimidating.

Hi-This is for Bruce Powers, re his sons' game & Japanese first moves.

There is a "WITP Unofficial Strategy Guide" by a number of people such as Mr.Frag, Joel Billings, Luskan, etc. My copy has the remark, "Updated 07/22/04".

I downloaded this from the WITP forum , but cannot remember where the link is.

It includes such topics as "Jap turn 1 checklist", etc.

Perhaps others can help on the link.

Good playing!! Hugh Browne

Best piece of general advice i can give is: "The less you do on turn 1.....the more you'll have to do on the following turns."

What that means is, while Turn 1 Japan is arguably the biggest pain in the a$$ turn to do in all of WitP, you have to bite the bullet and put in the time to do it decently otherwise your going to be scrambling and working harder on the following turns. (I should know....i once did a Japan turn 1 in under 30minutes.....felt good, till the following turns when the string of "DOH's!!!!!" started happening......

forgot to include a base force with that invasion....planes grounded... DOH!

Certain units/bases low on supply during crucial period....DOH!

DD's needed, nearest available unit in Northern Japan watching the Russians....DOH!

Forward base secured.......no fuel for warships....must wait a week for emergency TK replenishment from Japan....DOH!


Moral of story. Take your time....do it right....you don't have to go "Mogami" on it, but it still pays to be slow and thorough.

Glory to the Thread.........Bruce....the trick with turn one for the Japs is to enjoy it.........take as long as you need......if I start a new turn one....it will take me about 12 hours to do........but I have now done a fair few turn ones.....and always remember.....turn one is phase one......start planning phase 2-3 while doing your turn one........you need supply/fuel/troops and support all alloted to future ops......just not turn one goals........I LOVE JAP TURN ONE........it's turn 2-1,400 that scare me.......

Oh the weather outside is frightful
but War in the Pacific is delightful
so with a turn in the inbox you know
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Goodbye, Saddam... Enjoy your time at Hotel Heck...

Will he get 40 vigins? Or was that vegans?

No, it was 40 virginians, with George Washington right up there at the front.

But seriously. This is bad. A death sentance is bad in it self of course, but hanging Saddam means one more martyr and that is not a good thing for the situation in Iraq.

Being of the military sort, I'll take that chance. Can't wait for the video. Hope it was slow.

Robert, what machine are you interested in? I myself would like to get away from windows but I am not willing to give up WITP.

It wasn't... A proper hanging, over in a second. Better death than he gave to all his victims, but that's the whole point: if we have to apply the ultimate sanction, make it clean and quick. We have to be better than the bad guys...

AH, the Great and Glorious Thread suggests 10% of one's posts should be made here - i.e., tithe... actually, its sort of a way of "checking in" with the community to let them know we are still with them...
