What to do as allies when Germany goes Sealion

[Young Grasshopper]

If US is sending everything to atlantic wouldn't Japan just take hawaii on T3 and then calcutta on T4? and win the game. I can see a scenario in which Japan has 3 AC's 4 DD's 2 subs at least off hawaii on T3 along with however many transports built on T2. Then you can also take calcutta and just sacrafice all your air power, but so what, you would have won the game...

Tha would be why from turn 3 on you focus entirely on the pacific with the US, spending 80IPCs. So Japan may be able to grab Hawaii on turn 3 but if the US takes it back on turn 4, without really worrying about Japan retaking it, then the allies are still in the game.

Precisely, once Japan lands in Hawaii, the New York fleet launches, the factories become majors, and $70 gets spent liberating Hawaii before the Japs reach Sydney.

Japs only need Hawaii, hong kong, phillipines, and calcutta. I can see Japan taking all these by T4. Possibly even T3 if mistakes were made.

Possibly even T3 if mistakes were made.

Anything is possible with enough mistakes from one side...

I can't....If Japan can get Hong Kong, Phi, Haw and Ind by T4 when Allies don't commit huge mistakes, then the game is completely broken.

I was talking about when the US goes 100% atlantic to liberate london. This is what we were talking about Axis PLaya.

I've not only seen it, I've done it.  The game is not completely broken - however.  America just has to keep investing in the Pacific, the allies lose if there is not a HUGE investment by America in the Pacific EARLY.
