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 :)
How to win as Japan?

Land every single plane in kwangsi, move all chinese units closer to the front

You can take hong kong as well. You have enough planes. Some like invading it with a transport so they can use mainland troops to fight in china

with these moves, what should be purchased J1? 3trans still?

That or 2 trans, 1 minor IC for Shanghai

The Caroline transp can either help take PI or take Borneo J1.
J2 the Phillipines transports have 3 moves because of Naval Base.
Possible to pick up surviving troops from HongKong and take DEI or Malay peninsula. (Can also reach Queensland which gives ANZAC something to ponder)With transports you built J1 land more troops in French Indo China (to help cut Burma road again J3). You can build minor Ind in FIC.
At this point I retreat two thirds of my fleet to Truk to stare down the Americans. single DD screen to prevent Hawaii fleet from entering Sea of Japan.
