Imperial Japan: J4 slow burn

[@stevenpremo860]

Played our first game of war room yesterday and had a blast. As this is one of the few videos/channels discussing and displaying specific nation strategies/openers, I had watched most of the Japan series in the weeks before our game. I appreciate the content and getting the ideas flowing, but after I had decided to roll with a version of this slow burn plan, it was a minor annoyance to flip through the video trying to find the exact unit and area codes for writing orders, so I figured I would jot them down since I have them written in front of me in the hopes it helps someone in the future. Turn 1 Orders: 1: 12 --> J25 2: 1 --> P13 3: 14 --> J6 4: 13 --> J5 5: 11 --> P13 6: 44 --> P14 7: 77 --> P14 8: 81 --> C2 (Aggro/Vegas Style) / J6 (Conservative) - I went with conservative x2 9: 24 --> C1 (Aggro/Vegas Style) / J5 (Conservative) Turn 2 Orders: 1: 46 --> J8 2: 81 --> J8 3: 95 --> J8 4: 14 --> B18 5: 89 --> P13 6: 52 --> P13 7: 39 --> P13 8: At this point, the creator gives two orders both listed #8, ultimately resulting in Japan having one too many orders than would be legal. I found the first seven turn 2 orders to be a useful reference, but I changed some of them and did more free forming ideas at this point, since individual games are going to have a lot of variance based on the players around your table. I will note, this general plan worked out very well for Japan in our game - I had taken western Australia on turn 3 (we played with the long range amphibious assault optional rule) and India by turn 4 as the UK was stretched far too thin as we had Italy and Germany work on Egypt concurrently. The UK was definitely our punching bag in the game, poor guy.

Great video. Keep up the great work! Your videos have been a great help for me and my play group as a strategic starting point. War Room is very different from Axis and Allies as you've said, and thus far your videos have been a great starting point as the community tries to figure out this game. Again thank you so much for doing these. Cant wait for the next one!

Thanks for the support. I will keep making the videos. So many ideas to talk about and so little time.

You often mention the Japanese Anzac attack video, but not found it. I am assuming its a variation on this P-18 attack.

[@LucasSpears-d5z]

What are you bidding for turn 2 and 3? Turn order seems to matter for this tactic.

[@jotakami]

One reason to go P-17 instead of P-18: the Allies have Port Advantage (the most overlooked rule in the game) in P-18.

Would like to hear PainState's response to this; would it affect the intent of wiping out the Allied Pacific fleet?

[@PMMagro]

India is extremly startegic. If lost how to reteake it (unless left empty by misstake or something)? As it has build capabilty too japan can REALLY use that on the continent.

Played Axis and Allies Global 1940 the other night, felt a little flat compared to War Room.

[@warroompainstate2661]

Yep, our group has grown tired of G40 and it is back on the shelf. We are full blow war room right now.

[@warroompainstate2661]

Have you tried the Calcutta crush war room style yet?

[@wartable]

@@warroompainstate2661 Have not played in a few week...maybe after the new year!

Very poor public speaker.

Don’t worry I have gotten a lot better since I made this video 2 years ago. Also, I think I should credit for not using a AI script generator. You get the un filtered version. Peace out and keep playing.
