Historic Japan Day 4-7

2 Oct 2023, 13:22

Hello everyone!

It's day 7 in my Japan historic game.

Let's assess the situation.

Land Expansion:

I invaded the Republic of China, due to apparent afk-ness and no real contribution to the match. I quickly kicked him today morning and declared war, after which my army which was placed properly to take all the cities except Golmud and Jiuquan took 10 cities in less than a second. Later I split the stacks and took the neighbouring provinces.

Diplomacy:

I invited the Soviets to take over China's slot in the coalition. There is a plan which will be put into effect after China is taken over. It involves the countries of Australia and Japan, potentially USSR also. After the execution of this plan, Japan and Allies will own all of Asia.

Foreign Diplomacy:

The Japanese Empire made allies with Mexico, offering to maybe invade USA under the same flag as Mexico. Australia also wants to take part.

Research:

I researched rocket artillery and now researching SP rocket artillery, since I'm not satisfied with the Type 4 20 cm and prefer a Shisei Tarenso. I also got some medium tanks and mechanized infantry along with level 2 attack bombers (the Kawasaki Ki-32 which is also a rank I light bomber in War Thunder).

Potential Threats:

The AI of USA sent a naval fleet containing:

Battleship Level 3 x3

Cruiser Level 3 x2

Destroyer Level 3 x2

Submarine Level 2 x3

Aircraft Carrier Level 1 x1

to the sount of Takow Province, Taiwan.

I placed the following to counter it:

Battleship Level 4 x4

Cruiser Level 4 x6

Destroyer Level 3 x6

The hitpoints come out to (US:Japan) 645:1103.2, rounding it to 645:1103

Due to my Naval damage of 133.3 vs the US Naval damage of 95.5 added to a lot more HP, I should easily be able to win. Note that this fleet is the Hong Kong fleet + 2 Cruisers

Economy:

All of my resources are now over 744/hour (metal).

I produce per hour:

779 grain

747 goods

744 metal

802 oil

803 rare materials

1210 Manpower

I will now focus mainly on goods and metal, and slightly on grain, to make them cross 800/hour.

That's about it for now, I will report the next update on the 5th or 6th of October.

Good luck in your own Japan Historic games!

Very respectable, if Japan has better potential this is still impressive and entertaining. Already you have exceeded its real-life limits of mid-1942 on some fronts.

I wish photos would be included though, for a more coherent and gripping narrative.

It’s also really hard to read, maybe you should change the font or make the letters bold?

i swear the font is like fucking Comic sans!

"Hate, union, freedom, justice, equality, war, peace, violence, blood. It is but a perfect mixture on destiny and our lives. It is for the mass we trust and for the mass we contribute, or to selfishly to personal greed we follow, it is up to your choices on what mixture you want. My mixture is a bit of everything with madness and humility in it, the virtues will black and sinful, just like I per say." - Kaiser Luther Ernst Willienburg.
