what to do when your industry goes bye bye?

[Mike Solli]

My goal is to last longer than the Japanese did historically. Unless the Allied player wants to stop playing, I'm going to continue. I would suspect he's not going to stop in 44 or 45 because that's when he's starting to have fun trashing the Japanese. At that point, I want to find ways to hurt the Allies even though I'm outclassed.

What's the point in not taking auto victory in 42 as Japan if not to play to bitter end ?

[Nikademus]

I'm considering surrendering one game as japan just out of sheer bordom waiting for the Allied sledgehammer to fall.........[;)]

Hey! Not fair! If you've actually reached the late war period as the Japanese, then your opponent was nice enough let you beat the *bleep* out of him for a year without quitting. The least you could do is let him bomb your factories for a few months.

Hi, If he is bombing industry he has been pounding Japan longer then Japan pounded him. when I begin a game as Japan I state I will surrender when
1. Japan is no longer producing supply
2. Heavy bombers are in range of Home Islands.

By the time the above is occuring the game has been a one player game for quite sometime. All that is now happening is Allied player needing hours per turn to manage his great Catherds and bombers. The Japanese turn takes 30 seconds.

Hang in there maybe you can get the allies to surrender due to exhaustion. [:D]

It is a forgone conclusion that Japan is going to lose. The only measure I use as to who wins and who loses is if Japan is losing much faster or much slower than historically. I like Mogami's criteria. Whether Japan wins or not the game in my terms would simply be if Mogami's criteria have been reached 6 months sooner (Allies win) or 6 months later (Japan wins) than historically, which to me means around January 1945 (after Saipan, Leyte, but before Iwo Jima).
