Is this a trick question???

On the turn following this landing, San Fran will be overflowing with troops, etc.

Are you asking this because what was specified in the manual didn't happen?

I was just wondering if what could otherwise be construed as an undermanned commando raid could cause the U.S. and Canada to divert their focus from a "Europe First" strategy to one focusing on Japan.

Correction...two turns. One turn would be spent doubled over laughing..."Ha Ha Ha , we surrender, Ha Ha Ha.

as an aside a lot of that area has been bought by japanese interests in recent years so you see they got it anyway

Can you imagine how much trouble the raid C.O. would be in when the brass figured how badly he'd pissed off the Canucks?

no of course not

but for game purposes it makes no difference

in the game the japanese would never send a commando raid because it would have no effect - not even a minimal one

so there doesn't need to be a mechanism for a proportional response on the part of the allies since any landing can be assumed to be massive

I think this would trigger the 8.3.2. However, I really can't come up with a better definition of "boxing" the system either.

According to the manual your landing at hex 133,28 will NOT trigger the allied speedup... BUT, if you move 1 hex east it will.. Hex 132 (inclusive) and east triggers the allied affect. Anything west of 132 is fair game... - pretty much all alaska..

Xargun,

Is your monitor upside down? Hex row 133 is EAST of hex row 132.

Even if a small raid landed on the West Coast, I would imagine that public opinion would demand a shift towards safeguarding the coast. A small raid is often a precursor to a big raid, at least in the eyes of the public. The public may or may not be assuaged by the small force size. They might just state (read: yell and scream) that they managed to get to the West Coast once, they may do it again.

But, please take into account the extent to which the Doolittle raid freaked out the Japanese.

LOL, a commando raid could have changed the entire course of the war in Europe, had America and Canada switched their focus to the Pacific.

The subject is even more pertinent, IMO, given the games "political" element.

I didn't think John Kerry's swiftboat was modeled in the game!
