[AAR] 1939 Japanese World Conquest
This is my first attempt at an after action report. The idea is to give a general report on my play experience here for educational, and hopefully, entertainment purposes. I didn't take enough screenshots along the way so I may have to gloss over some of the details. Without further ado...
Starting the game Japan has a great navy: 6 battleships, 3 carriers, 3 submarines, 11 cruisers and 13 destroyers (don't quote me on this, it's close). The army is small, but the technology level is slightly better than your nearest neighbors. I immediately begin consolidating my naval forces in the seas around Japan and moving island based forces around. In most cases I want to bring those garrisons in to use in offensive operations but leave a few infantry on Saipan and Ogasawara to maintain visibility and some defense. Most likely they'll get one shot by support forces if a war breaks out but it gives you defense against the blind sailor type attacks AI, and sometimes players, utilize.
I also start building industry immediately everywhere but Tokyo and start research on infantry and artillery.
Early in the game I begin evaluating the opposition and I am not impressed by what I find. I'll attempt to avoid outing anyone and just evaluate statistics of nations of most immediate interest:
United States
United Kingdom
China
Soviet Union
France
Australia
Manchuko

overall, the game has maintained my kd, somehow as i was warring literally every nation on europe and france just golded armies as soon as i reached their cities, my kd used to be 4. 9 at start, it fell due to an overnight campaign in another round tho, i have earned my lesson this time though, i'll retry the challenge late lol

I didn't maintain my kdr in that game... I had made negotiations. That decreased the fall a bit.

Yeah, I think everything has to go your way for UK to roll everyone quickly. Japan has a good advantage against most of her neighbors and by the time you take over all that crap in Asia you're a beast. If the European powers don't get it together and stop you, they will lose the ability to at some point.
The challenge is becoming strong enough quickly enough that no one can stop your ascent. Much harder to pull off in Europe. Plus, like I said before, Pan-Asian march the fastest so they should be the ideal "speed-run" doctrine.

Yeah I'm sure it wasn't lack of skill. UK just has a tough time. Allied doctrine benefits don't really start kicking in until midgame.Karl von Krass wrote:

The UK is one of Japans most logical allies. Both have a large fleet and a lot of territory in Asia. Furthermore, bringing down the UK which has overseas territory everywhere would take all game. Better to put your attention elsewhere I'd say.Spite_Is_Right wrote:

have u ever tried this? I'd like to see your performance in such a situation, i am sure to think that if i had done something different everything could've changed, perhaps i should've attacked the Africa based nations first? I had actually planned on attacking the Africa based nations but the European coalition needed some destruction.Spite_Is_Right wrote:

I haven't played UK in 1.5. I won a coalition victory in 22 with them in early 1.5. I won a solo in 1.0 long ago with them. Game's changed a lot, I'm mostly speculating. To me it seems UK needs diplomacy where Japan can get away with almost none.Karl von Krass wrote:

Japan can get away with almost none but as the UK as long as you make it through the beginning without having your colonies gobbled up, all is fine. Honestly italy is the best ally as a means to stop ethiopia from expanding.Spite_Is_Right wrote:

Well my current game as United States was spoiled. All the majors quit, there were really only 9 active players on day 4 and it fell off from there. I'm just trying to wrap it up with a coalition victory now. I guess that will free me up to try UK world domination. That could make an interesting after action report. May try to do something serious, haven't decided yet.

It's Day 6 as of now, and i just captured 10 cities, I'll take over German mainland next and move onwards to get more VPs. Overall i think i'll get 700 VPs by day 11, It's small but is a conservative estimate.

Can you try making a "theme" on the UK action report? IE spreading good ol' british parliamentary democracy or somethingSpite_Is_Right wrote:

i think an even better idea would be to make what the British foreign policy actually was, Pragmatism. Everything the UK did had a reason and they were Pragmatists, not necessarily bent into spreading their ideologies to other peoples.whowh wrote:
