From many games of trying both J1 and J2, I have found that the former is more advantageous if you have average luck. The latter is a better choice if you are worried about getting diced by a stubborn UK battleship that never misses while your blind Japanese pilots circle around hopelessly. J3 just plain stinks and is usually a sign of a novice Axis player.

What difference does BM make to the J1 DoW Variance?

Japan gets rewarded for taking Wake (denies USA a NO) and on turn 2 you can use marines so you might build some. That makes Wild Bill’s pearl harbour attack much more worthwhile. China is still going to be a problem if you do this but its a better deal.

I like the 3 transports + 1 marine build
