@victoryfirst By the way, we are not at that point in this game yet, but at some point I will need some guidance in how to perform a paratroop drop. It appears that requires some sort of edit mode manipulation to execute.
-
Hi trout, I think everything looks good. Will start working on the US turn now.
Para drop is easy, it works just like moving factories! Enter edit mode, click on Perform Move and Other Actions, and simply move the paratroopers to the target territory. Normally triplea wouldn't allow that as paratroopers are classified as land units and land units cannot move over the sea or over enemy territory, however edit mode allows you to do whatever you want. It's like turning on the cheats. This edit move thing is used in some other instances too like LCVs and rockets.

@victoryfirst That's fine. Hey I wanted to confirm this with you since I have misunderstood a few of the HRE rules recently. I believe Japan will get their 10 PU peace bonus on J2 only if I don't attack USA AND don't invade French Indochina. Is that your understanding as well?
-
Hi Trout
You can't be at war with UK or ANZAC either. Basically USSR only ones you can be at War with and still get French Bonus.
It's the same as OOB rules
-
@beelee Even if UK attacked Japan first?? Which is the situation here
-
Oh ? Yea that probably changes things. Would have to look up in the OOB rules.
I'll take a quick look

@victoryfirst Good morning. Need to ask a question as it appears you are about to introduce me to the concept of max KJF VF-style.
Regarding the shore bombardment rules that I now know I had previously misunderstood, I believe the rules are that if even a single destroyer is present, then no shore bombardment is possible. Also, you can mobilize naval ships into Sea Zones even if there are enemy ships there. So if I am correct, then I guess Japan can indefinitely prevent shore bombardment of Japan by just buying at least one destroyer or escort and placing it in SZ 6 each turn. Is that correct or I am missing something?? If that is correct, then battleships/cruisers truly suck except for the Super Heavies. -
@trout Yes you are almost fully correct, all surface warships will prevent shore bombardment so that includes all ships except transports and submarines. The thing with those units is that the attacker has the option to ignore these units allowing them to shore bombard the territory, or attack these units and forgo the ability to bombard.
-
you are saying cruisers/battleships suck, that is not entirely true. I sometimes purchase a cruiser as ANZAC or US to help capture Japanese islands with two infantry on a transport, something any other unit cannot always do. But that is usually late in the game, if my existing cruisers have already died.
but yeah, i mostly prefer destroyers + carriers/fighters, however there might be other people who purcahse more cruisers and/or battleships. Battleships can still be very valuable units because they can soak up a hit and that makes them the most cost effective naval unit, besides super heavy battleships. Their only drawback is that it is hard to manoeuvre them well if there are many annoying blocker units like escorts and destroyers.
And there are not always units that will prevent shore bombardment, at some point they are all gone and then these BBs and CVs are very valuable..
-
While I don't normally buy them, I wouldn't say they're worthless. If you're trying to attrit JPN by Bombarding them every turn after you control 6 SZ, that won't quite work.
But JPN will have to spend 6 bucks a turn with only a 1 in 3 chance to get a hit, remember CV gets hit first then BB, so a good idea to have an empty CV or two to soak hits.
Anyway, control of 6 SZ will be doing massive convoy damage. JPN rarely falls or Moscow either. Usually Economic Victory happens first.
Massive Hvy Bmbrs and a Huge Fleet, with a backup ANZAC Fleet for the knockout blow, their BBs will bombard, might do the trick.
If Allies are threatening Tokyo, ANZC should be making good coin by then

@victoryfirst Okay, saying they completely are worthless is not accurate, agreed. For some reason, we had gotten the idea that ships could choose to participate in sea battle or shore bombard, not both. Which made them more flexible in their uses. But I now see clearly that was not the rule all along. And now I understand why there were some forum comments from time to time about how difficult it is to invade Japan outright. Regardless, really enjoy playing both of you and thanks for being patient with these rules issues plus the Triple A learning curve.

@trout In HBG's Global War 1936, a massive A&A style game designed by a game company, you can divide up your fleet in a screening force and a moving force. If there is a blocker somewhere you can assign for example two ships to attack that blocker, and the rest of your fleet can then move through if succesful. I think that's a very fun rule and it more realistically portrays naval war. There should also be something like this with naval bombardment. Not the entire fleet will go after the lone escort, just a couple ships. The rest is then free to bombard.
