• Japan :  G.“Tiberius” T.
    US/China :  Starlight Sniper
    UK/ANZAC : Rust"The Juice"Justin

    Turn 1 was interesting. China and the UK bolstered the Burma Road (bringing UK/Aus into the war T1). While China survived until about T7 (where it was annihilated in Yunan) the UK/Aus/US made it to the ultimate Japanese Surrender. After the allies cock-blocked the IJN from hitting India, there was only 1-2 land units available for Japan at any given time. ‘Tiberius’ seemed to halt and falter around the Mayla Peninsula and then couldn’t get the ground units needed to hit India.

    When the Japanese forces started to hesistate (still had all planes) the US launched a surprise strike on IJN units stationed outside of Tokyo. The “All Sub Squad” decimated the Home Fleet. Ausstralia hadn’t been touched, India was “Safe” and the US was king of the Easters Pacific. Japan was losing Factories and Naval/Air bases across Asia.

    Several factors contributed to the surrender of Japanese Forces. ‘Tiberius’ had to work in the morning, but more importantly, Japan was feeling the tide of battle swing against them.  Rust “The Juice” Justin was a superb Ally, providing Calcutta based Chinese support as well as holding Australia Proper. Moving the UK AAA was key to quagmiring the Japanese air units.Japan wasn’t out in the cold though, they had a huge, consolidated force in Central China, 90% beginning Naval Units, 90% beginning Air Units. The threats at the time of Game End (2:30 am) were minimal for Japan (2 trasnports and minimal Allied Navy) but so were the prospects for a Victory in the Pacific.

    Cheers,
