I have played a lot of A&AP and I’m normally the good ole USA. 5 Bombers is a great U1 purchase. Battleships in my opinion cost too much and you don’t have time to use them. Aircraft Carrier, 2 Fighters, Destroyer, and a sub on U2 and U3. To keep Japan from VP win you have to SBR Japan and Big Boats don’t help you there. Once you take land in range of SBR you don’t need boats but always good to have a couple subs to sub stall. I’ll be playing 3 games tomorrow and I bet I have played 40+ games of this version.
