have a question guys,

ive planned to attack Manila in the first turn to eliminate subs, so i have an idea, is it possible to load divided japanese eng units to destroyers like a lot of tokio express to invade a lot of islands preparing a huge defensive wall later in game?

they will load equipment? is a good idea??

(is to maintain control until another units arrive to build fortifications ports and airfields.

EDIT*** is aganist the IA

Fast Transport missions do not get the bonus move on turn 1.

There are a LOT of small undefended bases and dot bases that need taking. If you have the patience for it, loading a SNLF or Naval Guard units onto TFs that are too small for them isn't a terrible way of taking them (4 fragments with minimal AV is just fine against empty bases). Just be aware that these units will quickly run out of supplies if you're using Fast Transport TFs to do the hopping around and you might want to send a PB or two (the 330 or 1000 cargo capacity ones) along to replenish. I'm not sure if unprepped Fast Transport landings suffer disabled squads/devices at the same rate as unprepped Amphibious, but you'll need the supplies for them to recover after a lot of landings in a row and once the unit's cargo has been loaded in your typical FT TF there just isn't a lot of space leftover for supplies.

FT TFs are a new favorite of mine. Only recently discovered how useful they can be.

I'm not focused on my defense on Dec7th, kinda focused on my expansion for a few months while I can. So truthfully, I have no idea ...

yeah my idea its to BLOW, not to blow, at first stages, meanwhile war advances, prepare and fortify these advanced locations.

imagine an allied amphibius convoy advancing through these islands, will be a pain.

imagine an allied amphibius convoy intended to land in these islands, every month surviving its a victory. but the problem is what to do in these islands??? maybe one can afford a good port, another one an airfield, dunno nothing!!!
