Oh, you’re right. Never mind then. Always thought it was 3, not 2 sea zones, making Hawaii not possible. My fault. :)
Operation Hollywood : Flying the Japanese Air Force off the coast of Gilbraltar

I tried a similar move to this before, but i was just thinking… What if Japan comes around south america and takes brazil and builds an IC there?!? Could be crazy…
Well in the plan I was thinking of time is of the essence and if the Axis do not sack Washington they pretty much lose the game. I am not sure a minor in Brazil would hold for Japan very long with the USA having 3 major factory’s a stone toss away.

That may be true. however coupled with Germany and Italy’s presence at Gibralter, they could help with defending the territory.
I’m not saying that Japan should do this, but sometimes it’s fun to think of and maybe try new things to keep the game from becoming too stale (which is the point my gaming group is at unfortunately)

UGH! I know exactly what you mean. In our games, many times the first 2-3 rounds are almost exactly the same. In fact, just about the only way they DO change is from the roll of the dice.
Example:
Game 1= Germany sends all the Luftwaffe and subs against the British fleet. Germany has good dice, Royal navy is trashed with most German planes surviving. Next round, prepare for Sealion.
Game 2= Germany sends all the Luftwaffe and subs against the British fleet. Germany has bad dice, Luftwaffe is mauled, many British warships remain. Next round, rebuild Luftwaffe.
Game 3= Germany sends all the Luftwaffe and subs against the British fleet. Germany has medium luck with dice, Britain has a couple of capital ships but rest is lost, Luftwaffe loses 1/2 planes. Next round, replace some planes and CONSIDER Sealion.See what I mean? It would be nice to try something new and unexpected.
