As for defending the transports is that something that should be left to UK navy or are we figuring on having eliminated any Gerry threats as far as Navy and harassing aircraft?

Ncxcswitch hits it on the head with the “space for rent” in Alaska. If Japan wants it for a turn he is going to get it. Frankly he can have it. If he wants to bring troops to me so I can kill them great. I don’t however want them in Canada or LA. I don’t want that inevitable incursion to interfere with getting troops to Europe. I’m learning with the US that where to go isn’t as improtant as how to get there and how to stay there.

Thanks for the advice and details.

Please sir, enlighten us on the slow build US navy. I am of the opinion that any US boats in the Pacific are a spot of IPC’s to the Axis aside from losing Australia, Hawii et al.

I would support the contention that it takes more than one victory for something to be a proven strategy.

I had heard that idea before of building in LA and moving them to the East for shipping to Europe. I was just wondering how much you need to distract an average Japan player into making a significant advance yet still cost him in the invasion and not need to much to hammer what is left without making a hiccup in your shuck shuck to Europe. I also play a guy who likes to do annoying things that can’t really be let go.

I would agree that it is generally a waste to put any kind of US fleet in the Pacific. That is why I was asking about garrisons for the west coast in another thread. My experience with US Pacific fleets is they are manmade reefs very soon. I have been having much better luck staying out Pacific. You need too many transports and too much to protect them from what Japan already has in the water to accomplish anything. You might draw off some IPCs from mainland Asia. You can put all those trannys in the Atlantic and protect them with much less and still buy infantry!

Assuming a KGF strategy to what extent do you as the Allies garrison the Western US and Western Canada?
