Yeah, well, that’s my ego to you. You’e right though.

Also, even if I was coming from Japan, I wouldn’t need to bring my carriers, just my fighters, and they’d fly right over that tiny destroyer :/

Just out of curiosity do you attack J2 or J3?

No way to know. It clearly depends upon what the US did, what UK/Anzac is doing, where the russians are, is sea lion an option, etc…
-
Yeah those are pretty important factors, do you have a personal preference of doing one or the other or neither?
Personally for me i do like to attack J2 but I don’t always stay true to J2 attacks when certain circumstances call for certain measures by Japan

No I dont. My goal is to win the game. So I’m not going to be married to a certain strategy. If I attack J2 then it’s because the allies response favors it and Germany is ok with it too.
If you go for India crush, then your strategy is written. You must buy transports and naval and/or airbase and you must have your fleet south, etc. That’s fine but it means the allies know your plan and purchases and know how to counter.
From Caroline Islands Japan can reach anywhere but Sumatra. So they have no idea where you are going to go because you can go almost anywhere.

The Carolines are the magic bullet to success in the Pacific.
Have u gone to to GH invitational?

No. FWIW, I think merging UK Pacific and Anzac changes the game too much.

Awesome, now the US is blowing up Japanese planes without shielding.
Assuming you want to bring fleet, and assuming it’s in sea zone 6, the blocker wins – you can’t move and then declare war. Two blockers are needed if Japan is staging out of the Carolines. Fortunately for the US, it can see where the Japanese fleet is when it comes to move.

You CANNOT block Japan from Hawaii. If they are not at war, they can just sail there and sit. The US also doesnt have 3 spare ships to block and build in the atlantic and expect to keep Hawaii.
-
Yeah thats my only pet peave with grasshoppers version. I don’t mind the 2 combing together so much as I do that UK pacific goes before Japan on the turn system which I really disagree with since that doesn’t make for a balanced Pacific
-
One would think that but you won’t be taking off Japanese planes with a little something they have access to called cannon fodder. When I do my pearl harbor strikes I bring in a strategic bomber, 3 fighters, 3 tac bombers, 4 destroys and 2 subs, and yes I’ve playtested these odds against the entire starting Pacific fleet of America and the US fleet always gets obliterated.

I really enjoyed playing aa50, to me the game isn’t too small yet not too big with just the right amount of units.
