@trulpen I’m guessing you are thinking about taking one of the transports back to Hawaii, but if not you could take one unit to Marshall and keep the threat with the other unit and transport. It would mean that on a later turn, you would have an easier time grabbing Marianas and Paulau if that is useful to protecting the American fleet at Carolines. I’m assuming an Anzac destroyer will be brought forward as a blocker?

or for that matter, Iwo Jima

never mind that, his bomber can reach the transport off Iwo

@trulpen My suggestion with the anzac is to take Java and to build another transport so that you can start trading ANZAC transports against Japan ones. But there is nothing urgent about Marshall right now

I’m tired now. Can continue first tomorrow. Is US looking good?

Looks good. Two suggestions. 1) put the bomber in scotland so that you have the option of reaching Moscow. 2) you left an inf on a transport in 33. Not a big deal but I would leave it on the island.

Using the SB on Gib is fine. I had suggested Scotland as the way to get it to Moscow but you have another turn to do so there is no urgency.

For the US fleet, 54 is good in it saves you the ANZAC blocker and you can reach the islands and Malaya, but I would still probably stick with Caroline Islands in that it gives you the range to threaten his fleet in 36, and limit Japan spending. He doesn’t need to do much to stop it but I think this ties his fleet up there more and makes placement more difficult. It might be that the US fleet is too underpowered at the moment to really threaten that but if it can, that would be my suggestion.

And I would also put some US air (From Hawaii) in Wake Island to give you a bit more range. But I would probably move some of the ANZAC subs and destroyer to 54 to give you some more range.

I’m not sure you need to attack both right now. You could just stack Hunan and maybe hit the inf in Kwangsi with a fighter and 2 inf.

to be clear, on limiting Japan spending, if you are on 54, then he can safely build 3 inf in FIC and new transports and fleet in 06 without having to worry about protecting those units. In Caroline Islands, if he wants more transports (to replace ones that he is going to lose), he either pulls fleet back to Japan or builds them in FIC.
