AXIS-AND-ALLIES.COM - Japan Strategy and Generals

Strengths

1. Infantry: Japan has many options when it comes to infantry, and also has the right upgrades for an infantry based build, most notably, Special Forces. Mortars, Heavy Airborne, and Commandos are all viable options when it comes to Japan.

2. Economy: Japan is the only country to earn

+30 from every type of HQ (after Military Surplus upgrade), which leads to a strong late-game

economy.

3. Airborne: Japanese Heavy Airborne costs less than any other country,

$75/$150 instead of

$100/$200

4. Arty Tanks: The Japanese Arty Tank regiment is the only one in the game to feature medium tanks as support vehicles, all others only have light tanks.

"My attack on Singapore was a bluff, a bluff that worked... I was very frightened that all the time the British would discover our numerical weakness and lack of supplies and force me into disastrous street fighting."
