Kill America in 3rd round?

I don’t KAF, in either Pacific or Global. I use the Pacific ALpha setup and Japan attacks around J3 (maybe one later if it seems acievable).

While I don’t  try to take Australia early, I do try to destroy any navy that is around. A carrier in the carolines can often send it’s planes, with a sub and maybe another sub or a destroyer, and take out ANZAC Navy and land back on the carrier in relative saftey near the DEI (Java) or occassionally, or you can send the carrier to NSW SZ supported by a couple fo dedstroyers. I think this is very important for Japan if it delays a DOW. Of course, you cannot lose your carrier, or even take a hit on it, so you have to be careful.

Do you mean half of 57 or half of 17? If it’s half of 17, that’s a greater disadvantage to the allies.

@507pistol:

Thanks for all the info about this. Now I just have 2 more questions I need answered. First, what is the deal with the US and their money increase? Do they get the 40 dollar increase at the end of their first turn if Japan attacks or is it added at the beginning of their first turn if Japan attacks? The second one is directed towards calvinhobbesliker. How come I can’t bring my aircraft carried with its 2 planes with me when I go and attack Hawaii? They start in SZ 33 then the carrier moves 3 spaces into SZ 26 and attacks the transport along with the battleship and every other ship that was in SZ 33. The planes then fly 4 spaces to attack Hawaii and use their 5th move after combat if they live to land on the air craft carrier. Does this sound legit?

The planes can only move 5 when starting at an airbase… the airbase is on the islands and the planes are in the surrounding sea zone, so it doesn’t gain air movement.

US got 17 IPC the first turn, and 22 IPC the next turns because of NO Phillipineas.

Correct, you get the $ at the END of turn 3.  You can’t attack until turn 4 unless Japan kicks it off early.

Wow, what a change from a few weeks ago.

AA 1940 Pacific has been released for 18 Days (Not 1 month as someone said, closer to a 1/2 month).

Let’s see if this question changes over the weeks/months.
