Yes, it is possible, and, according to some, it is strategically advisable, if you follow the line of thinking of Cmdr. Fuchida.
But it is very difficult in the game, because you can't prepare the divisions you need for Hawaii right at the start of the game. You can't have the troops invading very soon after the actual surprise...
Other operations will need to postponed of given secondary priorities, and your adversary will know this...
I tried it against AI. Troops will arive near Hawaii around Dec. 20th the earliest. A lot of ressources will have to be employed to smash the US Pacific Fleet and keep any of its elements from returning or reinforcing Hawaii. PH is well-guarded, well-supplied and Coastal Guns are a serious threat. So is the US Navy.
Against a human player, I think Adm. Laurent (user name) is trying this with some success. I think his ARR is quite useful if you think about this strategy.
