@Tizkit:

Would you have done the Shantung move if you were in my shoes?

It ended badly but I thought it was a reasonable risk at the time.

Probably not. You weren’t likely to take the territory and the transports were forfeit. I would have wanted a good crack at taking down the IC before I thought it was worth it. Also, no ground troops are getting to the Pacific for the USA any time soon. Perhaps you don’t have much use for ground troops though.

So I can see the merit in the move. It would have been a close call. I like to keep the powder dry on putting Korea into Soviet hands, so USA can take it.
