damn. going to take some getting used to carrier scrambling. Thought, why would you land there, I can easily defend and probably clear all your land units. But not with carrier scrambling…

[ksmckay]

not to mention, either way I would be screwed. Obviously I did some things wrong in the pacific, but at this point I dont know what. Short of spending 100% in pacific, not sure what I could have done.

[Adam514]

You did go hard Europe first. And the mainland looks decent.

[ksmckay]

ok, felt like I had spent more than I had in Pac, but considering what was moved away by US, only 40 ipcs in first 4 turns. But even after a bad Japan DOW, its pretty much game over in Pac.

Japanese fleet can never be out of position in Pac though, at any time it can get to the critical locations. And its easier to defend since it can always block the US.

So whats an appropriate response to your J1? Japan gets 100% odds at a max US fleet in 27 and no reasonable counterattack. And a J2 would still be able to hit a few important islands without fear of any counter attack.

In 55, the odds are almost as good. Perhaps the counter attack there is better and less to gain so most likely Japan wouldnt go for it, if the UK bb is there and every available ship and air is stationed there, but it doesnt really matter since that fleet at 55 cant do anything useful and doesnt help on Allied turn 2.

The only thing I can see to do in Pac, is just hold back a turn and let Japan roam free until T5 or so? Seems like T5 is about the earliest allies can really stack 55 and Caro is not an option before then. UK cant really do anything beyond stack Burma since Japan has so many transports.

Do you have examples of what allies can do in Pac? Or do they just have to position forces in vulnerable spots because Japan is out of position if it attacks and so long term its a bad play?
