Is this a trick question???

On the turn following this landing, San Fran will be overflowing with troops, etc.

Are you asking this because what was specified in the manual didn't happen?

[TF 38]

No,

I was just wondering if what could otherwise be construed as an undermanned commando raid could cause the U.S. and Canada to divert their focus from a "Europe First" strategy to one focusing on Japan.

Correction...two turns. One turn would be spent doubled over laughing..."Ha Ha Ha , we surrender[&o], Ha Ha Ha[:D][;)].

[Drongo]

Ah, so it wasn't a trick question but a loaded one. [:)]

Hey that is Canada and they have obviously just invaded Estevan Point off Sooke where I live The Japs did shell the lighthouse there during WW2 they won`t be there for long though as we have some raggedy ass loggers there who would make short work of them
as an aside a lot of that area has been bought by japanese interests in recent years so you see they got it anyway[:D][:D]

[TF 38]

Jeez,

Can you imagine how much trouble the raid C.O. would be in when the brass figured how badly he'd pissed off the Canucks? [X(]

no of course not

but for game purposes it makes no difference

in the game the japanese would never send a commando raid because it would have no effect - not even a minimal one

so there doesn't need to be a mechanism for a proportional response on the part of the allies since any landing can be assumed to be massive

[PeckingFury]

Go ahead and laugh, those civilians sun bathing on the beach there wont think its funny when the dreaded Japanese wakeboard kamikazes land in force [X(]

[von Murrin]

LOL[:D]

I think this would trigger the 8.3.2. However, I really can't come up with a better definition of "boxing" the system either.[:'(]

According to the manual your landing at hex 133,28 will NOT trigger the allied speedup... BUT, if you move 1 hex east it will.. Hex 132 (inclusive) and east triggers the allied affect. Anything west of 132 is fair game... - pretty much all alaska..

Xargun,

Is your monitor upside down? Hex row 133 is EAST of hex row 132.

[Arnir]

Interesting. I would figure that Ottawa at least would freak if the Japanese landed on Vancouver Island.

Even if a small raid landed on the West Coast, I would imagine that public opinion would demand a shift towards safeguarding the coast. A small raid is often a precursor to a big raid, at least in the eyes of the public. The public may or may not be assuaged by the small force size. They might just state (read: yell and scream) that they managed to get to the West Coast once, they may do it again.
