So is the best way this:
J1 Japan takes the PI & Celebes. IPCs go to 40/41
J2 Japan takes the rest of the DEI. IPCs go to 60/61
J3 Japan takes Singapore. Japans IPCs are up around 67/68
J4 Japan builds a major IC in Singapore.
J5 Japan places 10 infantry in Singapore.
India falls by J7-J9.
I also am confused what is the best J1 strategy with an explanation?
I see a lot of references to Truk what exactly is that?
Thanks he has not taken Caroline Islands (we are both new), but rather going straight for Japan with 3 carries and 2 Bbs and a destroyer and transports. So I should to clarify buy transports to take the East Indies(I have none) and draw the U.S fleet south, so i could fake an attack at Australia to draw them down then attack Hawaii or Canada. Again Thanks alot.
I am in the middle of my first game we play whenever and do not just sit down and play the whole thing. Any way I’m wondering if im in bad shape im Japan and he is the allies. My income is only about 6 less than the U.S and I am about to capture India which would give me 5 of the 6 VCs having Tokyo,Shanghai,Hong Kong,and Manilla. However my biggest fleet is off of India and i have none of the DEI also the U.S is within strking distance of Japan and Shanghai. My only defense in Shanghai is an aircraft carrier with 2 fighters, and in Japan I have 2 BBs and 8 Inf. Also I am wondering which is easier to take Hawaii or Austraila for the last VC’s and should I use my spending to attack or defend.
