What do you think of this:
Japan controls the entire Pacific, and the US doesn’t fight them anymore, simply because the Japanese navy is overkilling them.
Japan goes from Tokyo with a few transports, and battleship/destroyer, submarine and a AC with 2 on it, from SZ60 to SZ45, from SZ45 to SZ42, and from SZ42 to SZ22, starting the attack in Brazil, which will have little to mostly non resistance.
This gains 3 IPC, good one just for that, but?
It takes a few rounds to get there, so the US might be warned, although taking the route below South-America can be confusing.
I have chosen for that route, because going through Panama is no option, or you should attack that one, hold for 1 round, and pass it with your ships,
No option.
Air attacks will not happen, the movement from East US to Brazil is 4, only bombers can attack, and land in the West Indies,
Pros/cons:
Cons: You can’t pressure Russia much, although once bought all the stuff, you can start pushing them again back into their motherland,
Pros: 3 IPC
- Having America not being able to do much with their fleet, because you will start ruling together with Germany also the Atlantic,
- Being able to invade, if needed, Africa right away
- I doubt if this attack has ever been done, so you always surprise your US player
Optional: when America is doing nothing, Try West Indies as well, with the entire fleet,
- Try Alaska as well, they have to spread their forces now for: Brazil (West Indies) / Alaska / Europe.
Give me some thoughts about this move! Thanks!
