Oh, on your question about "cheesy" tactics: when I play the AI, I impose a lot of house rules on myself. As the Allies, I try to fight a more-or-less historical battle. I have less experience as Japan, but again I try to cut the AI a break now and then. E.g., in my one and only game as Japan vs the AI, the AI ordered the USS Lexington to blithely sail from somewhere in the Central Pacific to somewhere in the South Pacific, on a route that took it within one hex of my Nells at Kwajelein. Well, I let the Nells put holes in it, but I stood them down the next turn. The game is much more challenging and, I think, interesting against a human via PBEM. In that setting, it can also be helpful to agree on a small number of house rules. Practice on this varies widely, from almost none to long lists of rules.
