@squirecam @squirecam again let me say, if you play the way Japan usually does, I will implement my plan. You did my work for me by draining the Asia army white. I will always adjust, trying to make the fight t1 to t3 all about the mid pacific. Japan can’t recover, us attention goes to the Atlantic.
Try again?
We will have to agree to disagree. Japan has its entire fleet, no warships of any note are in the pacific and Japan has the phillipines and will have all the $ islands next turn. It still has Hawaii currently.
I thought the point of this test was to see if the USA could sub stall or defeat Japan. If you want to test that, we could try again. But you have to stay within the test parameters.
But IMHO moving subs into the med actually shows the strategy wasn’t working, or you were not willing to lose Moscow and so you abandoned the pacific.
Had you stayed, you might have eventually amassed 21 USA subs to attack the fleet. But they would have died too. And by then Moscow would have fallen.
There is nothing wrong with attacking Italy. It’s the weakest Axis power and very vulnerable. But that isnt the point of the test. Sub stalling the Italians is easy. Japan, not so much.
If your point is to simply abandon the pacific then there is no use going with another test. The title of this thread, and the test, was to KJF. That didnt happen and wouldn’t anytime soon as you took your subs away.
If we try again as you say, then we need to play out your Pacific theory. You keep all of the subs and air in the Pacific to see if Japan’s fleet is destroyed and the income nerfed before Moscow falls. By this, japan has no mainland income (and no russian income substituting for China) and no islands either, except for Japan.
I will make the same Axis moves with the possible exception of attacking the Russians on turn 1. So you know exactly what the Japanese plan is.
I am also unclear as to what you mean by “play Japan the way it’s usually played”. By that do you mean completely ignore the USA so it can build up at will and safely move around the Pacific? Because that’s a mistake.
