I don't want to shame him. When he gets his auto victory I'm done with his game. Third week in 2/42 and all bases on the map edge, but Papette, are taken. India is about 30% conquered. He holds all the eastern islands with hordes of Betty's and Nells stationed for the transfer attack option to any of those bases. Burma was bypassed for a massive assault on India, the DEI is about to fall. The Phillipines are still holding. Another bypass, this is the apparent strategy of most Japanese players now. It reality, the Japanese considered the Phillipines a very important strategic target. Not in this game though. Of course this early in the war, there's not much to defend India with. Let's see, oh yeah, nothing but Zeros at the front line bases. The only reason I'm still going is because I've sunk 3 of the KB CV's, for the loss of the Big E. Also around 80 of his AP and AK's have been sunk, with about twice that number more damaged. With the Japanese merchant fleet being dedicated for amphibious ops, how can it be stopped? I haven't left much fuel for him in his conquests, but it apparently doesn't seem to matter. There's currently 150-200 IJN ships operating in the Indian Ocean right now. My remaining strategy for this game will be to bypass all of his forward conquests, and go straight for the juglar. The Central Pacific, there can't be much left defending them. All the LCU's are out on the fringe bases.
