Wow these threads are getting old.
First off, you would send a sub to kill the transport at Pearl, else your getting a US scramble and loosing a bomber.
Secondly, you will not be getting all of the DEI area on J2 as the UK can move 2 boats to SZ 37 & 42 to block off Sum, which just happens to be in range of 6 allied planes that can land on it turn 1, up to 7 more on turn 2 (not saying they should, just saying they could).
Third, you best be getting a mainland factory on J2 unless you want china to stay alive for a good long time. And you best hope the UK player doesn’t help china by stacking the daylights out of Yunnan on UK2.
Fourth, and the worst, on J3 you will be able to take all of the DEI, the problem is on US3 there starting fleet can hit DEI as well. Now they may have to sacrifice a transport to take an island, but, you’ll be trading down there for the remainder of the game. Then it becomes a race, take out India before the US takes over the DEI, or you loose your income advantage that you never really had.
Fifth, and last, is this not the same J1 i’ve seen posted several times by Maher C and originally by Frontovik? Oh no, his was better. He used planes against ANZAC so he didn’t expose any boats. And he knew to send a sub to Pearl.
