the biggest threat I face as a Allied commander is the long rang Betties in the early game.. AND the Japs have many small battalins assigned to the south area? whatever those goes are called goingto the solomons. I need to play a game as Japs soon[:D]
You can hold Iwo and thes other Islands with a smal KB, and surfase force and force any attack to be mounted at a disadvantage, but beware, if you do not completely destroy India and take KArachi, this forward attack is a bommorange ! I favor the ho rule forcing Japs to wait to attack Russia to 43,, and pay points to move units out of Manchuria via land paths..

Zeta said: " But when I ever say some thing about allies late in the war I here silence. Why I have no clue? "

I think that it is because many of us have not experienced anything later in the war and therefore do not feel that we can intelligently discuss how the game handles things there. I am reading your reports, but I have had nothing to add to those comments. When I get that far in the game, the situation might change (of course, the forum might be long dead by then!).

Great thread. I have played both sides in several games, of course having to restart beofre 1943 but have noticed several things that people here have brought up. First as Japan every allied player who I have played against has either threatened Japan by bombing her (worst raid hit Tokyo and sank about 10 transports) or capturing Wake. After the first time that happened I learned that Japan HAS to defend the homeland or any allied player worth his salt will make me pay. One thing as Japan that can freeze up an allied player is if you can make KB disappear from sight. I docked them in Truk for a week and the allied player was very timid after that with his carrier assets. That allowed me to capture the SRA much easier.

As the allies I have taked Wake from an opponent who sent KB into the indian ocean and also threatened Japan. Have never considered trying to go after India as Japan myself, just dont think its doable.

I do think the game does allow for a good historically based game, lets face it, Japan really has no realistic chance to win a long war with the US and the game reflects this well. What they can do is do better than they really did and thats the challenge, at least it is for me knowing that in 43-45 Japan is gonna reap what the sowed!![:-]

I should state that the one day turns are focused more on the side with initiative and not necesarily just the Japanese player. The reason I think this gives them an advantage is that it really is a psychological battle for the Allied player in the (realtime) months of buttkicking. We all sign up thiking "just wait until the Essex class shows up and your toast" but after a while your 23rd completly uneven naval clash may not make the game as fun as December 8th. You have to have some serious patience reserves after a while.
