Read J1 Gambit- US Variation first please.
This ANZAC Variation is similar in all the combat moves and nearly all the noncombat moves are the same except that the navy that attacks Hawaii does not attack there instead and Phil is not attacked– detailed changes:
1sub attacks the Hawaii sea zone and takes some convoy off.
2car stay to protect your future transports (from Phil air force)
rest of Jap mainland navy moves to Caroline to support a J2 retake of New South Wales. (because they can retake it on ANZAC1.)
Current Caroline navy attacks and takes NSWales instead of Phil.
Navy southwest of Japan takes out US des and trn
Good: May get about $50 bucks for round 2, ANZAC weakened and no builds for them, still able to cut off current Allied naval threat in the Pacific for the time being.
Bad: US will make a lot more in this variation, Allies still have some air threats.
Final Analysis- Need to play test it but currently I don’t like it as much as the US variation. :-)
