i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)
Germany requests Japan to annex Dutch East Indies

1940 after the fall of Netherlands, Belgium and France.
Germany requests Japan to annex Dutch East Indies and Indochina.
Annexing is NOT attacking.
What happens next?

Uh, annexing is not allowed in the game, and the Dutch government in exile still maintained control over the islands. Because of this, Japan could never have taken the East Indies peacefully. They couldn’t have taken French Indochina either without the US and UK sanctioning them, because the UK was worried about the proximity pf Japanese bases to Singapore.
But let’s ignore this, since you just want those territories to go to Japan. If the territories just became Japanese, I’ll race to protect the islands before the UK and ANZAC threaten them. My Pacific strategy will otherwise be the same, namely don’t attack first.

@joephillips There is no provision in the rules of the game for “annexing” territories. If you want to create house rules for this, it’s up to you what happens; however, when it comes to a hostile power, “annex” is just a diplomatic word for “attack”.
