Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.
New recruit seeks direction

Justin Case reporting for duty.
I’ve been playing Axis and Allies for about 20 years.
I’ve been rather loyal to (an)other site(s), but lately can’t seem to get any assitance with what’s what re: the “new” Global rules set.
I stumbled upon this site via an odds calculator link.
I was immediately intriguied by the main(?) page’s dipiction of AAEurope and AAPacific set up for the Global format.
( It elicited Pavlovian drooling. )
So for the ‘boot-camp private’ …1. I’d like to be able to upload a workable ABattleMap utility for the Global platform. I’ve been to FOE but what I got there (patch included) would not open. That is when I got stonewalled with tech help… and no one at Larry’s site or AAMC seems to be able to (or willing to) communicate effectively a simple ‘click this’ instruction that will get a usable map utility up and running.
2. I look at the forum boards here and I am overwhelmed. Like all of us there are only so many hours in the day. Those that are available to waste, I’d prefer to spending playing A&A than reading and chatting about it. That being said, which links would be the most useful to read first?
3. I presume this is a PBEM site as well?Enough for now. Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.
