@SilverAngelSurfer:
The entire basis of the changes to North America in 1942 is to “fix” the ease of conquering North America in previous versions, which in terms of historical accuracy should be nearly impossible for Japan to do. The above suggestions are the best way to go for Japan in the current game, however.
Fuck that. Japan should break out of the Soviet Union into Alaska and base them self there fight with might for West Canada then take West US
