Hi, The thing I find most amazing about any Japanese plan that extends beyond May 1942 is how such planning is even possible before the planner knows what he will have to use.

Before Japan captures Palembang and the other major resource/oil centers planners do not know if
1. The SRA will even be providing oil and resource
2. How much will it provide
3. how much supply will be required to repair the damage.

Capture Palembang and that next door resource center in 100 percent damaged condition and see what happens to your operational plans for mid 1942.
Do people plan such massive operations before they even know what their fuel and supply levels will be?

Just arrived -havent read the whole thread.......
BUT -this is exactly what happened to me against tabpub -and magami has it dead right.
Capture things damaged -and FINITO to further advances
Now, to make another comment -my latest game has Japan doing exactly what is proposed -He tried for a pearl -every island in the pacific MASSIVE grab
So here we are into march -I mucked up and he got the phillipines VERY cheaply -but he still is engaged in Pearl-and the DEI are still mine, and getting stronger every day.
Its very interesting, but I am convinced -any Jap player who thinks he will "just grab the resources a little bit later" is asking for trouble.
There is a player on the forums who plays as allied -and he claims 9 victories in mid 42 -and I believe him.
Grab the resources and oil -THEN plan phase 2
Trust me -WITP is a terrible struggle as Japan when oil never gets above 50000 to 100000 units -ever

Seems like an interesting idea. Not sure if it would 100% work but it would be a new approach.

Tried and failed...

See some of the "classic" AARs for the results.

The continuing stupid trend to resurrect stupid threads that should have remained consigned forever to the Stupid Thread Graveyard continues to strike me as stupid...

The newbies rummaging through the trash of history doesn't bother me so much.......just the resurrection part.

The continuing inconsiderate trend to arbitrarily stick labels on members of this community continues to strike me as rude and arrogant...

So, just to clarify...who do you feel is being stupid here?

a) OP (Hirohito)

b) People that kept resurrecting this thread (O.Heindorf, RUPD3658, haleyjo_68)

c) Everybody who participated in the discussion (list too long...)

d) Anybody who read it and found it interesting and/or entertaining

OR

t) other

(multiple choices are allowed)

LOL, that was a safe bet...but you seem to be retracting slightly.

Anyway, I got the answer I expected.

Well, forcing this thread to claw its way out of the grave and go shambling across the forum served one purpose at least. I finally understand why "Dude vs Zeta - Hirohito style" (still one of the most-viewed AARs ever) was titled the way it was.
