Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.

Sigh.
Takes up mantle
Unless Italy does something about those three African infantry on it’s flank in North Africa, and unless the British doesn’t try to protect the French Med fleet with the aircraft carrier and destroyer near Gibraltar, I’d say at least the Italians have to worry about them.
And yes, they’re poor quality, but hell, with all those little plastic miniatures on the board it still looks pretty damn epic!

Awesome, thanks for posting the pics up.

thanks for the kind words. I just submitted a bunch of pics to BGG. Three are up and 12 more waiting for approval. I sort of wish I could post stuff here first….
The table is from Geek Chic. It was pricey, but lets just say I drive an economy car and have no other hobbies…well that is how I convinced the wife, anyway! It is nice for games with separate boards like this—it is all smoothed out.
I went to Gen Con one year with my wife and convinced her a payment plan over six months would be OK :evil:

Nice, lol.
