    • RE: Japan taking Australia

      I only see the scenario of Japan taking Australia if it is done early on (by third or fourth turn) otherwise it becomes too difficult due to Australia and Britain’s defenses of the island being too strong, therefore warding off the possibility of an invasion.

    • Japan taking Australia

      I’ve fieldtested this strategy once. By myself. It was an experiment. I wondered how
      Japan would have done if they executed a plan to invade Australia from the get-go.

      So, on my first turn I mobilized all my planes navy for marinas, and continued south on my second turn. I had some minor naval forces take the oil-laden regions of dutch east indies unopposed(Borneo first). On my third then I unleashed an invasion of Australia from multiple fronts, beginning with amphibeus assault on Northern Australia and queensland. From there I was able to use tactical bombers to render Melbourne’s minor industrial complex inoperable.

      So, how what do you think? I am also wondering if Japan threw their entire navy at Australia early on then maybe Britain and Australia wouldn’t be prepared, so perhaps an invasion of Australia in real life could have been plausible and probable.

      To make it more realistic, I had placed australian forces in Dutch New Guinuea and New Guinuea by second turn because I felt Australians would have been expecting a land invasion there first rather than on their continent. I also attempted to have them protect australian coast but Japanese bypassed their navy.
