Yup, but I still got the 55 IPC prize for knocking out US, which means I can place a ton of units next turn in two major ICs on either side of the map. 1 turn of consolidation, then it’s a massive wall of Japanese ships moving south across the board.
Was the game ended early? Yes, but there were several factors:
1. Time limit. Club starts at 5:30 and no new turns after 10:30, making games last about 4-5 turns. While this may be very short for Axis and Allies standards, the skill level of the guys at this club is such that games are decided that quickly.
2. Psychology. Western US is never supposed to fall.
3. Victory conditions. Allies have to actually take Japan, which, frankly, wasn’t going to happen, not with my stack of infantry when all they have is a few transports. All I needed was 4 more victory cities, which could be picked off easily. I don’t even need to take Sydney or Calcutta.

Was it this club thing that said “West US can’t fall,” or in general?

You think you can take Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Philippines with the Massive British fleet??? If the allies have a greater economy and you have less forces, you’re going to lose, even with the 55 ipc boost.
You only get 10 IPC’s because the extra 40 is a US National Objective, which you can’t collect as Japan.

I think he means the income you get for taking the capital.
Actually, UK, had tons of ground troops.
Yes, they should have gone more navy.
Still, with 80 some IPCs, I drop 5 fully loaded carriers on J5

Why don’t we play a game on the forums to test your strategy?

Thanks for the offer, guys.
I have 3 copies of P40, but haven’t opened them because I plan to resell them.
Whenever I play, it’s at my local A&A Club with the boards there. Otherwise, I’d love to play a game.
Since I can’t actually play you, or at least don’t think it worth to open a whole board for it, I’ll simply concede that you guys are the better players in exchange for my cop-out.
I almost lost that game, too. Since you guys know what’s coming, I’ll probably get pwned anyway.
Thanks for the offer, guys.

Three? I would keep one at least.
Also on this borad you can look at the starting setup pic, started by wild bill it has a blue backround. You could kind of take track, and like the other dude said you could get Abattlemap, but it is kind of a douche.

What’s wrong with ABattlemap?
Also, could you answer my questions on your thread about your Napoleonic game?

That’s why it’s being a douche.
When you download it(have you?), it’s supposed to be its own program

I know, but something went wrong and the map files are also not saving right, like my laptop is the real douche.
