USA doesnt have to worry about their own arse, but they sure as hell need to worry about their allies.
Germany. It is the most challenging country to play.
When you think about it if the US loses out in the pacific there may be a threat to their homeland.
I like Germany and Japan… Don’t play the allies much…
I think it’s because it’s at times hard to determine how much you send to each front (Why people dislike the USA)…
true but iv’e always thought Germany deserves more attention

Not really…the US does have threats, but by the time you see Japan or Germany building transports and stockpiling men and tanks at launching points, you’ll have more than enough time to prepare a defense.
The problem with that is that the US usually either does nothing because they’re too busy building defenses or they try to do too much (which ultimatly fails) and they have a rather weak defense.
Okay maybe not a huge threat but if they do lose in the pacific they would have to concentrate more on japan which might let germany take advantage and it could end in an allied defeat.
USA shouldnt even be in the pacific to begin with.
the good thing about the US is that they can get up to 8 infantry in Europe by turn 2.
the US should at least try to protect Midway and Hawaii
the US must, at all costs, ignore the Japs in the Pacific. It doesn’t matter if they lose their entire fleet in the Pacific. I’ll say it, and others will back me on this…The Pacific is a waist of time, resources, and energy…a hopeless cause! Let Japan have the Pacific…if they do try to build forces to land in the US, you’ll see them planning it before they know what their doing themselves. If Japan tries to go after the US before they attempt to sieze Asia…their idiots! Plain and simple. Ok, maybe not idiots…but their dead. The US only has to think about the Pacific when Germany is dead.
I have found that ignoring Japan like that makes them more difficult to stop after you’re finally done with Germany. Germany can hold out for quite a while and can even expand under these circumstances allowing the virtually unopposed Japanese to become very powerful, even unstopable.

Bossk…what would you rather have? Appease Germany, only to have them crush russia…OR, appease Japan, only to have them reach Moscow and then get blown away by all three nations that just finished Germany for dinner?
I say keep them both occupied and slowly build offensive forces to kill Germany and then Japan. Believe it or not the Allies really do have enough resources to keep both the axis from expanding while having enough left over to do this. In fact I’ve managed to hold off Germany without any US help.
Putting effort into the Pacific is stupid for either nation. USA can’t do anything against, Japan, and Japan can’t do much against the US. Now the Atlantic, thats another story. Now THATS where I can see a good Japaneese IC.
what’s the worst Japan can do Take moscow.what’s the worst Germany could do win the war.
my favorite countries are- in order Japan, US, Germany, UK, Russia.
about the pacific, the only attention anyone should give it is Japan to take the Austrailias(not right away), take Hawaii(in order to strat bomb USA, (though bombers could better strat bomb Russia), Alaska (to distract US, but if it doesn’t distract them, then walk right in) Japan might also want midway if US has Long range aircraft.
US should take it outside (to the atlantic).
exactly.
russia sucks, germany rocks
