IceCreamSolider -> Game Over? Sure-Fire Win Found for Japanese! (6/1/2002 7:12:16 AM)

hi all first post, so i am by no means an expert, but i think i have found a way to win everytime when i play the Decision in the South Pacific scenerio (the longest one) as the Japanese (against a computer allies team). i simply make a full-effort attack and base build-up at Lunga, and then fly all my land-based planes there. i park my two main carriers and my light carrier with React To Enemy orders either in the Lunga port or just north of it - and wait. Inevitably, the American carriers come snooping around off Lunga and all my land-based and carrier-based planes smash both Allied carriers - usually sending them both to the bottom, with maybe only one of my carriers sunk. i have repeated this feat three times in a row. my question is, does this mean game over? i mean, should i even continue the scenerio? it seems that the Yanks have no chance now that they always lose both their carriers to me early. it seems like it is pretty much a forgone conclusion that i will win - now that i can move and invade with almost total impunity (at least from mid-may until whenever his Hornet (?) shows up - at which time i will have additional carriers as well). i am thinking of restarting the scenerio and playing as the Allies. they were perhaps the "underdog" this early in the war, and that means it will be more of a challange. what does everyone else like playing? The Axis or The Allies? i greatly prefer playing the long scenerio - will it be more of a challange as the Allies? BTW - I LOVE THIS FREAKIN' GAME!!!!!!!!!! it is the best game i have EVER played on the computer - no question. thanks 2by3 for giving us such a great "grognard" game. i am really looking forward to PacWar too - and taking it to the next level of experience. UNV is a great precurser to PW - i'm really learning the game - which will make PW a breeze to jump right into. i'm really glad we did not have to wait for PW to get a taste of great "grognard" war-gaming. sorry this is so way too long. hope to hear some opinions! ics p.s. i know that playin with another human is the best answer, but that is not in the cards right now. hopefully someday!
