@clamoxyl Welcome to the forum.

Good luck.
As Japan where do you aim you your attacks, and how do you do it.
India and NSW, wich is not on your poll, for some strange reason.
India and NSW i feel would be the most standard strategy but, id always keep a transport and inf in the carolinas in case the US fleet is not range of Hawwai.
I believe that NSW and India are still the best ways for Japan to win this game…but i found that it also depends on which turn u attack on…for instance…i tried for Hawaii on turn three and nailed it while also getting hong kong and calcutta…would have won if it wasnt for a lost battle in china that cost me a lot of my aircraft
I won a game day before yesterday as Japan taking India and U.S.
My current strategy is to take Austrailia and to take Pearl Harbor. My first game as Japan and Ive yet to see if it will work. The other game I played the Japanese guy tried to take India but got severly bogged down and was destroyed piece by piece in the DEI.
