I have not played Japan very often but I am not one to hit the US right off. I like to secure China and the DEI first. Cripple or take India and pressure the ANZAC’s is next while harrassing the US with landings in Alaska and the Philipeans. Alaska doesn’t really mean that much but most US palyers will not want Japanese forces in North America. Once Japan’s IPC level is up and I can build more capitol ships and planes, that is when I move to really hit the US fleet. An Aggressive US player will make this stratagy much harder to pull off though. the game I am currently playing, the Japan player did hit the Hawaiian fleet on round one and took it on round two. The US player has been so focused on the Japan player that the Italians have taken Brazil and the Germans have landed in the West Indies and convoy raided the east coast of the US. Britain has had no help and is barely hanging on. The round 1 DOW can work if you have the right kind of player in position. To give the US player credit, he has begun to make some better playes and is pushing back but he is having to regain alot of lost ground which really help the axis players be more aggressive.
Question about a Japan National Objective
-
This is for, while at war, objective #2.
–- 5 IPC’s per territory if Axis control Calcutta, Sydney, Honolulu, and/or San Francisco----
First Question, do I need all to collect? Or is it 15 for 3?
Second question, the Honolulu “and/or” San Fran part, if I have both is it 10?So are we looking at a max payout of 20 or 15, and does the payout start only if 3 of the 4 are taken, or do the 5 IPC’s payouts start with the initial take over of whatever is taken first?
Thanks!

As it states, 5 IPC’s per territory. There is no max and minimum. If you hold 1, then 5 IPC’s, hold 2, then 10 IPC’s, etc.

Thanks for the reply, I was Japan the other night for the first time, I didn’t want to over pay myself, so I just collected after the fact, guess I didn’t need the extra cash for the take over, imagine how much faster the game would have been if I had the extra cash!
