<t> Great post.<br/>
<br/>
I'm interested in learning your plan in Java. How does your progress compare to other players who do not choose to activate the Russian? <br/>
<br/>
How effective is your air cover over Java. Do you think allies can run transport, may be even reinforcement to Java?<br ...

<t> IMHO...<br/>
<br/>
The underlining issue&nbsp;is that there is only one allies player, whereas there should be multiple allies players of conflicting interests. An acceptable fix in game term is by adding one more leader attribute called "subordination". Units under leader of low subordination ...

<t> I wonder, by limiting the invasion to bases outside range of recon is equivalent to boost day 1 detection rate to 100%, which is contradict to the programed rule of reduced air effectiveness for the allies on day 1. <br/>
<br/>
A question to those history savvy players, what was the awareness ...

<t> How does it look? (The result of pounding PH from say Lahadina.) <br/>
<br/>
IMO, for the Japs to win in game. They have to keep B29 out of range, that means Japs has to take Hawaii. Japs has about a year to complete that goal, because Allies don't have enough CV esort to reinforce PH, both in ...

Curious about Yunan. If you choose to eninforce Chungking, Burma/India is wide open. The next thing you know you are starving.

<t> To Itfightr, <br/>
did a search on 'hirito plan', came up empty handed. May be you are right, but I still think [8|] the IJ can do enough to neutraliza PI without invading Clarkfield, Manila, and, Bataam.<br/>
<br/>
To moses, on the first turn move<br/>
To make it reasonable, IJ invasion ...

Near the end of the list I find "war games". [:-] Go figure.

<t> My plan is gamey, whether it is too gamey is question left to the readers.<br/>
<br/>
For the japs, the key idea is to contain but not engage Allias troops in Burma, PI, and Malay. Invade resourceful bases in DEI, but left the rest contained, again not engage. By doing this, the japs can swing ...

<t> oh well, although it looks like hijacking the thread, but I assure you this is my last one on the topic.<br/>
<br/>
Ok, even if you want to make historic, you can put a fleet of APs carrying the bulk of the southern army, escorted by 2-3 CV and a comfortable number of surface vessels, right ...

<r> Wow, this is an eye opener. Freeboy's plan is what I have in mind. Only that why does it last this long? Did you use the Dec 7 Surprise to ship troops right to the east India coast, along with a CV dual to clear the path? I tested it, they have the range. Allias only have ENG and HQ at ...

FOW, weather on.
IJN 120%, reinforcement/sub is up to you.
USN 100%, reinforcement variable, damage control on.

1-3 turns per day. May not able to return during weekends.

Are you still up to a game? The suggested settings are fine. 1-2 turns for me, may not able to return during weekends. Let me know.

<t> Please excuse me for posting 2 at a time. I like this multiplayer PBEM concept too much.<br/>
<br/>
Playing the game as a team is much more fun. You can assign the highest commander (conveniently the administrator of the server), and commander to each regional HQ's, may be plus one in charge ...

This has been tried with PacWar and was a dismal failure simply because the game is so long. Players will fall out along the way and with the different time zones, turns can take forever. It won't happen.

How about ...
