OOL  2 dd  2cv tilt, 2 Tb 2cv , ftrs.  I will lose badly

I’ve played A&A Europe as much as Global, so have played Euro powers more than JPN.  The fluidity of the Pacific makes it more complex than land battles on the eastern front.  I asked for Jpn because I wanted a change and it might be more fun.  As Jpn and as the Allies, I’ve seen Jpn fortified in the homeland and Phil and just skirmishes elsewhere.  So I am experimenting with going beyond that in this game.  I knew that US would use blockers around Hawaii, but thought I could threaten him before he could hit sz6 hard.  I was overwhelmed by the possibilities of various ways he could attack.  I moved subs away because I had blocked his fleet.  If I had kept my subs, together with bombers, I could have threatened his CVs.  But since his planes were lost, he didn’t need to move CVs to sz7.

I don’t have access to a computer with the game while on vacation, so will have to rely on forum posts.  So I can’t tell how bad the situation is.  But I think SA has blocked me from hitting his fleet with mine.  I

S.A., if you can repost the Amer turn with your unit locations by Terr, I would appreciate it.

I asked for the listing of American unit locations because the US aggressively moved to my home waters.  This scared me.  But apparently, it caused you to have second thoughts about splitting your fleet.  Too bad you changed your mind.  Those cv’s and tt’s looked mighty tempting, even tho you could counterattack.  Action is heating up.  Allies go all in for invasion, but their builds are all against Jpn.  This will be bloody critical.

Forgot to post after the French turn.

I didn’t think and was hoping that Aside DD couldn’t be a blocker for Hawaii, since it was in S Aus.  But it swung east thru those big sea zones.  Will have to settle for sinking all the allied dad’s.  Got rid of that pesky French DD on its solitary patrol.

Those sneaky Aussies.  Never count them out!!

But the Issues won’t have much of a fleet left.  And they aren’t earning as much any more.
