@Krieghund:

Any Axis power that takes Manchuria or Kiangsu captures it for themselves.

Wait a minute.  Is that to say that the Allies capturing Manchuria would NOT count for the UK’s “original Japanese territory” goal?

cousin_joe, you have read my freaking mind about this topic.  I’ve only played the 1942 scenario, but as I’ve played more and more I’ve come to realize that if the US goes full out against Japan, it’s practically impossible for the Axis to win.  Even if Japan makes 50+ IPCs per turn, it cannot simultaneously conquer China and India and also maintain parity with the US.  At least not until turn 5 or so, by which point the American fleet should be almost insurmountably large.

Hawaii is the lynchpin, and since the US has its turn before victory conditions are checked there is very little chance Japan will hold it at that time.
