@marechallannes:
…for a strategy you never tried? :?
Maybe you take Sydney, but without a factory in Japanese/Chinese-terretories you will loose the war.
Till turn 4 the UK-Player kills too much Jap ground forces and masses of Chinese infantry secures the terretories.
Your next target after sydney should be Hawaii and you need to reienforce Honkong.
Point taken regarding the never tried strategy. :mrgreen:
The next target should be to secure the New Guinea/Solomon/Britain NO and the DEI, while holding on to Carolines. You really don’t need Hawaii since you’re already getting the NO from Sidney.
EDIT: Just remembered that J needs 6 cities to win the game. It that case, yes, reinforce Hong Kong and take Hawaii. The last one might be difficult though…
