WW2 Simulation Journal: Japan 5

WW2 Simulation
Japan
Period 5
1938
As we set course to start another world war I am very unsure of my plan. At this moment I am most focused on getting the rubber I need and on conquering more lands with oil so that if America stops giving me oil it won’t hurt me too much. If America quits giving me oil I will definitely attack them.

1939
Early on I was able to get some rubber from the east dutch indies. I wanted more but Hunter was only willing to give me 5. So he signed it over to me and then a few turns later I took over east dutch indies. When I took it over that was all he had left. Nobody helped him. Since I declared a lot of war it took up a lot of time. As a result of this Germany was not able to do movement. Since Germany was not able to move their navy it was destroyed. Germany now has no navy and is blaming me. Honestly I think it’s kind of funny. I have a good army and navy. Things are looking good for me. All I really have to fear is America. I plan to wait as long as possible to attack America. I want to keep them out of the war as much as possible.

I conquered more land today and things are looking good. The only thing I fear is attacking the American navy. If it were up to me I would just keep them out of the war but I need to remove their navy from the pacific. I plan to take out their navy and take the Philippines. I also need to take more action in China. I need to completely take China over.

1941
I took out the majority of the U.S. navy today but lost over half of my navy in the process because all the navy’s close to it decided to come in and help. The navies remaining around pearl harbor are very weak and I plan to take them out tomorrow. I also took the Philippines today. I feel the stress of the war coming over me as we go deeper into this. I need to take over China and the rest of Asia but I am uncertain how I can do that now that America is in the war. I don’t have very much confidence but I can’t show that. If I show a lack of confidence then people may think Japan is weak and would be easy to take over. I still have a lot of troops so I should be able to hold my own. I am starting to question the intelligence of the Allied powers. France was taken over today and they did almost nothing to help them.

1942
Not much happened today. I didn’t really do anything because I was too worried about being attacked. I fear that America is going to come for me. I fear that my navy will not make it another day. This doesn’t affect me much but I still cannot believe that Great Britain has made no attempt to get back France.

1943
My navy was wiped out today. The US has gotten much stronger and their navy has largely increased in size. The allies powers honestly seem kind of dumb. I took over all of China today and Great Britain did absolutely nothing to help them. They have 1400 troops right by me and they have not once made an attempt to take China back. I’m not even sure if they know that those troops are there. I honestly am starting to think that America isn’t even going to do anything to me. My stress is leaving and my focus is shifting to to gaining more territory. I am going to stay weary for a little bit just to make sure that America or Great Britain does not attack me.

Period 5
1944
I am fairly certain that Great Britain and America are not going to attack me. So I made an attempt at eastern USSR today which failed. Although it was not a complete failure. I sent in 1000 troops to face their 1500 not realizing that the eastern troops are strong than the west. Even with their stronger troops they ended with about 111 troops. I am going to move troops close to them and take easter USSR tomorrow. I plan to make an attempt at Siberia and India tomorrow. I want Burma also but that would be a suicide mission at this point and the fight would not be worth the reward.

Period 5
1945
Today was the last day. Not everything went as plan but I am very happy with the outcome. I went this whole war without being attacked on land once. My navy was whipped out but thats it for being attacked. I took over all of China and Eastern USSR. I attacked Siberia but did not have enough troops or time to take it over. I wanted to attack India but did not have the time. It’s pretty clear the Axis won. The only sour thing is that right at the last second F3 was attacked by the allies and the other axis powers didn’t know how much they were sending and didn’t send enough. So as a result of that we lost the F3 right at the last second.
