@Omega1759:

The Japanese fleets were quite dispersed. I am following this game closely. Are the japs in trouble here?

The overall strategy is good, but I need to refine the exact specifics on the Japanese on round one.  I spread them out and opened them up to a number of counterattacks if the opponent chooses to be aggressive.  I overlooked China early, and pissed away some aircraft early on that I need to preserve (Siam and Kwa were poor choices to land them in context), and I didn’t see some options for aggressive play from the enemy and lost a couple more ships in round two.  I’d make a few alterations and I think this is certainly viable.  I’m almost at economic parity with the Allies and it’s only round 2 - by the end of round three I’ll have economic advantage over the allies; the Allies have little options to regain ground thus far but we’ll see how round three fares for them.  I just need to rebuilt the Japanese forces and continue to expand my economic strength.

Perhaps…

Recall on the other thread I had reservations about attacking the US fleet in Hawai because it puts you out of position. I also had a plan to land all planes safely in one place. Unfortunately, won’t have the time to execute my strategy for a while, but may be some additional food for thought…

I’m still fine with the attack on Hawaii, but I think I’d prefer leaving a blocker at Hawaii to stop the followup attack on my capital ships.  The followup attack at Hawaii is where I think I need some refinement - I went after the American fleet a second time, and left myself in a precarious position.  We’ll see how this turns out.

Actually yeah, I made a mistake with Japan, should have had 47 IPCs to spend not 40.  I’ll add 7 unspent to Japan’s total for next round.

Also, UK’s money is slightly off - it should be 58 not 60…you didn’t subtract off the Scotland convoy damage from UK2.  I have adjusted the IPCs…use this new map.
