Darth,
You do know the fleet in SZ 30 is hittable by 4 fgts, 1 BB , 1 AC on turn 1 by Japan right? And it still leaves you with 1 ss, 1 Trn, 1 DD , 1 bmb to take if not kill 2 out of 3 units at hawaii then retreat the bomb.
and still leaves you with 2 fgts for China.
This doesn’t mean I would hit SZ 30…. Actually I did try it once and it worked out really well. The british fleet was crushed there. Africa ended up falling quicker and harder.
What about the BB for Pearl but still with that little in Pearl and say you miss sneak attack and America gets 3 hits u have to lose a transport, and sub so that could go bad. And as America I would probably counter attack that.
