I think I have to concede defeat.  I believe Japan has the force to take and hold Hawaii and win for Axis.  None of Japan’s other victory cities could be liberated by the Allies quick enough.

If you would like to play it out to be sure, you can skip to Japan’s turn.

But if Japan simply goes all in on SZ26, the US would need to defeat:

7 sub, 4 dest, 1 cru, 1 bsh, 8 carriers, 7 fig, 8 tact

with only:

7 sub, 5 dest, 4 carrier, 8 fig, 4 tact, 2 strat

Which is a statistically negligible chance.  And that’s the best case scenario.  Japan could probably make impossible for even an attempted liberation of Honolulu by crushing the US fleet and naval blocking.

Thank you for playing, I learned a great deal.  :-)

If you ever want a rematch, let me know.

Hey Wheatbeer,

I have to agree. I was not even thinking of going after Hawaii for the 6th city until you brought your US Pac fleet to the Atlantic. It seemed like you got a little confused on which direction to take things when the Germans landed on Gib. I was kind of hoping you might take the bait. That naval base in Panama is really handy, but it seemed like it gave you maybe too many options. Sure opened up the Med for the US though. That completely crushed Italy….

I learned a bunch too (first complete game with Global).  I’m probably going to take a little break from play but will definitely go for a rematch with you. You interested in the Allies again or would you want to play the Axis?

And thanks for the game. Enjoyed playing.
