i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)
Japan take philippines on first turn.

anyone try this strat?? risky, I know, but I am trying it :-)

Isn’t that really dangerous since it’s a more low key American territory, while at the same time bringing america into the war?

It depends what you do in conjunction with taking the Philippines.
Also, are you sure you would not rather take Hawaii and have builds in Japan’s SZ to take the Philippines on the next run?

America has a NO that give them 5 ipc each round they control the Philippines

So you take a 2 IPC island on round 1, then give America extra IPC for: Alaska, Mexico, Continental United States for 2 rounds? That’s a net gain for the Americans of 16 IPC.

My bad, saw the 1940 title, but you do bring them into the war and give them whatever objectives Pacific allows specifically. I’m sure there is at least one for Hawaii and others, and I think there is that 30 IPC one for W. USA. So it’s even worse.
