As anyone who has played Axis & Allies and all its variations and editions knows, there are 50 trillion strategies you can try to come up with in the attempts to outsmart your enemy and try to gain the advantage.
This is one of many strategies you could do to try to take India from Britain as the Axis power of Japan, and in my opinion one of the strongest strategies. Your aim is to facilitate the removal of the UK from Asia, and do everything in your power to help Germany solidify its domination over the USSR, while also helping yourself dominate the Pacific theater of war.

I love how he reinforced the idea, “it doesn’t matter we are taking India” not getting distracted by his Objective and strategy-a key trait when playing this game

Missed opportunity: You do you. I’ll do me. We’re taking India By turn three.

This was fun to watch. What are your thoughts on placing a industrial complex in East indies. I just discovered this and I'm awaiting the results in a match.

Using the Low Luck dice roll option might be a better choice here.

Great video..Can you please explain a little more about what your strategy is with the 5 subs you bought?

I love playing Japan in Axis & Allies. I usually use what I call "The Manchurian Gambit" in which I place an Industry in Manchuria. This will be my forward base of operations against the UK and USSR, and start spamming Tanks for the upcoming blitz thru northern USSR and into India (and thru the rest of USA held territories ). I also go for Buryatia and the Anhwei, Szechwan provenances. My lone sub usually but not always survives in the south seas off Australia and if it does I use that against the UK transport off Borneo. I then begin to move and bolster like you did against India. This doesn't usually pay off until 5, or 6 (or even later...) depending on how the UK responds. Eventually tho India falls unless the USA and UK do some really good moves to thwart this. Even so this puts pressure on the UK and the USA to invest in a defense against Japan aggression alleviating some pressure on Germany. I however really like these opening moves that you've presented here, very good....VERY GOOD. I will definitely have to use this "Southern Strike" in future games, maybe a fusion of both, placing an industry in Manchuria in a later turn. At the least I will have another gambit to use against Allied players. Thank you! (Subscribed)

Thanks!! Sadly I had made this video using the standard piece placement for the game, and not the Larry Harris GenCon layout which is used in pretty much every ranked match, providing India with more infantry to play with, so this 3 move take is actually very counterable by a UK player that knows what they're doing. I detail the counter in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7KcYLur1tfFgn0.html But that only made me try even harder to find a good strategy for Japan's opening moves. I do very much so like the one you mention, where you place an industrial complex on Manchuria, it can pay off very well if you aren't too pressured by the US in the Pacific, even if it does take a while to get going. Also editing a video right now that should be up later tonight or tomorrow where I talk a little about how drastic the tide can change in the Pacific if the UK is allowed to take out the Japanese fleet in Sea Zone 37. I love this game too much, it's like chess in that there are 60 billion different things that can happen!

Factory in manchuria in turn 1 is too slow. Use transports and just get the free factory from India.

Thanks for the video. I tried this on a ladder game vs a good allies player. He had 14 infantries, 6 fighters (one from the US), and one artillery sitting on india and I couldn't take it with a similar force as your video. From there it take a long time to get additional troop from Tokyo and will loose to KGF before that. Thought?

This won't work against a human player. A human player, with the fleet off India and Australia, is going to kill the Southern Japanese fleet which takes a lot of punch that this guy is using. If you notice, UK brought their fleet up to take out the transport/destroyer by Shanghai. That's just asking for it to get slaughtered and then Japan will blitz in, though the UK can still make it very tough with a 3 fighter purchase on turn 1 and then 3 tanks in turn 2 and 3. Or you can do some variants if you want to put a blocker on turn 3 with a destroyer or bring the fleet back to India and add a few more naval units, there, etc. AI is pretty stupid, so you have alternatives to taking out India if you really want to.

@@DennisCoffman-dd8okDepends on the player, if they are more conservative and pull out UK naval troops in the pacific rather than committing them against Japan then i'll go for the India Rush sometimes but as the allies its pretty easy to see coming and react accordingly. Against the beamdog AI I win in 2 turns against the AI about 50% of the time as Axis using sea lion and rushing india. If the rolls go against you you have to switch to conservative and ill win sometime turns 3-6. Against real people though you have to be playing someone very new to pull that off.

It depends on your defense profile. You can set it up so that they don't submerge if you want them to defend themselves.

How were you able to have the game display those diamonds with the number of units being moved to a territory like that?

I think it might have just been a thing in an older version of the game, I started A&A up right now after several months and they're not there anymore.

@@Sevaekor Bummer. It looks way preferable to what they have now... which is nothing. You should make more of these A & A cheese strat videos, particularly for other factions. This was some of the more interesting KZfaq content out there for it.

@grizzlybearstorm5223 6 ай бұрын

You need to demonstrate this against at least a silver player online and not the AI. As you said “the AI is stupid”, so it’s hard to trust the strategy when you haven’t tested it out on a real player. I feel like a respectable silver player and above could stop this if they see that it’s coming.

Nah, I don't "need" to do anything regarding a 3-year old video from when barely anyone was playing this game, on my long-dead youtube channel. Thanks, but I'm good.

Good video, but it could've been almost 10 mins shorter. Don't need to repeat everything multiple times. We get the point the first time and if not, ppl can simply go back and re-watch.
