Sorry mdiehl
Go read history, Japan over ran every major power in the region with little lost in the early part of the war. Real or not people (including the leaders) were in real fear of being invaded (US West coast, Oz, New Zeeland). Just one successful Japanese landing in Australia or Hawaiian would have had major effects and may have changed the how the pacific war played out. If just one of the major powers Britain, or Oz sued for peace with Japan the other major players may have done the same. I don't think even the US would have gone it alone in the Pacific without shifting it's war effort to the pacific.
If Japan had destroyed the British Eastern Fleet, they may have completely eliminated Britain as a major player in the pacific that would have affected India, China and the rest of the region.
I'm not pro Japanese or against, but in a wargame, I want to try to change history not repeat it. Without modeling political events to some extent, what we are left with is a war of attrition?
Let's say you and I are playing a PBM game, and I as the Japanese player invade and take one of the northern cities of Oz. You know I can't completely take over the land of Oz, so you completely ignore this invasion that would be completely non historical!!!!!!!!!!!!.
