Does the game allow you to edit the starting position for the Japanese forces? For instance, instead of raiding PH on turn one, could you place the carrier task forces in a position to knock out the British Fleet in the Indian Sea? Thanks.

Status: offline 		this has been discussed before, my point was that why would you want to attack the british shipping first?, afterall america is THE big threat, is it not? and you'd want to damage the pacific fleet to give the player (as japan) some time

That way you can see what the pattern and route the ai takes into taking back islands. You can then choose a spot to defend or make a stand.
