In my games with the 41 set-up japans fleet is usually centered around the Philippines with just a couple of transports and infantry around the East indies and Borneo, so Britain can usually get a factory out and at least 3 units before Japan can position to take it. Just looking at the placement of japans units and the map japan needs to spend J1 setting up for a J2 attack in which case Britain can see that coming and not build an IC there

RE: Rockets
I was just looking up the rules for anti-air, and it only states that one can fire in each territory at enemy aircraft, by my interpretations it sounds like multiple rockets could fire per turn in each territory

RE: Naval Units: what is worth buying?
Being a battleship junkie I go all battleships, and usually I play Japan, so with the 41 setup I have 3 CVs to boot. I will build 1 DD for its anti submarine ability but basically only BBs, and I have never been let down in this new edition. My usual opponent loves a good naval battle so he goes all navy with the US. He has tried many combinations of ships against me but my old two hit ironsides have always pulled through
Speaking now, a little more objectively, I don’t see a worth for cruisers. When I am playing I want to build them, they are new and exciting (I don’t have guadalcanal so this is my first exposure to them) But running it in my head, battleships seem so much more worth while when you are already putting that much down for a naval ship.
