How much did Lend-Lease help the U.S.S.R? Did U.S and Great Britian supplies actually change events on the eastern front?

I am in no way playing down the role of Midway. What if Midway was won by Japan? It doesn’t win the war. They could not resupply a garrison on the island and it would have been taken back quickly.

Japan had no chance of winning a war with the U.S. How could Japan knock us out of the war? Even if all our carriers were knocked out, Japan would still lose. With so few first class pilots Japan would have quickly ran out of qualifed pilots, carriers or no carriers.

Japan’s only war winning plan should have been to invade India and hope that the British Empire would fall before the U.S acted.  Doing this without the U.S taking action is risky and unlikly.

You guys rock! I enjoy talking WWII.

I have the classic A & A board game. Is it worth my time and money to buy the revised edition of A & A? Your thoughts are needed!

Thanks

I agree that Japan’s loss at Midway was major, but it did not tip the scale in the Pacific, it only even the odds.

However, Guadalcanal loss for Japan doomed the IJN. The air units lost over Guadalcanal numbered over eight hundred. By the end of the Soloman Island battles Japan had no seasoned air units, IJN or IJA.

While Midway was a major blow to Japan, Guadalcanal was a sink hole for men, ships and air units and resulted in Japan’s doom.

Midway or Guadalcanal?

Which battle had a greater impact on the war in the Pacific and quicken the defeat of Japan?

Midway

The Japanese lose four carriers and two cruiser, but this does not eliminate all carrier forces of Japan. Japan would later win carrier battles at guadalcanal.

Guadalcanal

The IJN losses consist of a entire prewar fleet. The IJA suffer over 50,000 men and the cream of the zero pilots and betty crews.

The popular answer is Midway, but I must answer Guadalcanal. Yet, the thought rises in my mind what  if the IJN carriers loss at Midway had been used at Guadalcanal?

What is your opinion?

I have trouble finding players for A & A. When I do play the game most of my friends have little or no working knowledge of WW II which takes away from the game. I’m tired of playing Risk, when I have a A & A board that needs use.

Where can I find A & A players. I live in East Texas near Tyler.

I always try to protect India. If G.B can bring up forces from Australia; places a industrial complex in India and survive the first attack from Japan G.B has a base to fight in the East. Otherwise all is lost in the East and Moscow is faced with a threat from both sides. This is a gamble, it will either win or lose the war.

I live near Tyler, Texas. I’m looking for players for Axis and Allies.
