Great comments from both of you guys. After playing a few more games, I think Queensland is the safer bet early on in the war also. It allows the allies to build up and hopefully unite all three fleets UK, Anzac, and USA. Japan has to really come out to attack you and if they do the USA can counter with units from Hawaii and Anzac from Sydney. I feel like the Caroline’s islands are more when the allies are winning the war, but it also holds a great strategic position. So if I had to pick one, I now say Queensland. 👍
Can usa fleet be adjacent to japanese controled islands?
-
The rules talk about territories, does this include islands?
-
Yes.
-
Yes meaningg that you can end movement adjacent to japanese islands or yes territories include islands?
-
Am sorry.
Yes, islands are territories and US while at peace cannot, therefore, end movement by them. -
ok just making sure.
You cannot stop in a Sea Zones with an Island or Coastline that contain Japanese controlled Territories.
In addition, the United States may not end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to
Japanese-controlled territories. Sea Zones 17, 22, 32, 33, 34, and 37.Can the US park ships in Sea Zones 7 and 16 next to Sea Zone 6 that contains the Island of Japan?

Yes; those territories are not adjacent to a Japanese controlled territory. However, that leaves the US navy very vulnerable to a Japanese attack, especially fighters on carriers because they have nowhere to land if the carrier gets damaged.
