Great comments from both of you guys. After playing a few more games, I think Queensland is the safer bet early on in the war also. It allows the allies to build up and hopefully unite all three fleets UK, Anzac, and USA. Japan has to really come out to attack you and if they do the USA can counter with units from Hawaii and Anzac from Sydney. I feel like the Caroline’s islands are more when the allies are winning the war, but it also holds a great strategic position. So if I had to pick one, I now say Queensland. 👍
Has anyone ever decided NOT to scramble island fighters

Has anyone ever decided NOT to scramble island fighters from say Hawaii an let the USN just die; then use them in a counterstrike?
Just curious…

Yoiu choose weather to scramble after the attacker has said weather his planes are attacking land or sea, right.
Because if your got 2 aircraft, and commet them to the sea, where they then decide to hold theirs back, you will be crushed in the amfib assult.

Sure, my opponents did in our first game: I was the Japan.
I attacked the US navy at Hawaii with my huge Imperial Navy: obviously I destroyed all while they don’t scrambled any fighter nor tactical bomber. At his turn, the US player counter-attacked my ships, destroying all them… We closed the game and immediately started a second one: there’s no fun in playing Pacific without ships! :D
