I use what Vareel calls the chain strategy: I move all ships build at San Francisco to Pearl to Queensland. All Bmrs can fly directly to queens from WUS and other planes stage in Hawaii. From Queens, I can threaten the DEI, and the Philippines. Planes on Queens can hit the Carolines SZ and land in New Guinea, they can hit the Java SZ and land in sum, especially if the British DD and CC blocked Sum. If my opponent leaves the caro open, I take it with just one tr(no other ships if they can counterattack). You should also try to capture Iwo from Hawaii because, if you control Iwo, Bombers in WUS can hit the Sea of Japan and land in Iwo, preventing them from having to stage in Hawaii or Caro. This also may surprise some, like the Japanese transport move from SZ6-1, invading Alaska and British Colombia.
