Some people have house rules against that but I don't agree. Especially if your opponent invades an island that has no base hex. Tease and taunt him into it if you can. [8D]

The sheer number of disablements...
Maybe you should try landing with the USMC or USArmy instead of the USN?ORIGINAL: Admiral DadMan

That's funny, because I landed on Wake as USN and 3/4 of my stuff is disabled... I'm thinking that I forgot to land something with them...
lol actually I did, a USA Div, some tanks, combat ENG. Only problem was that they didn't all land the same day...ORIGINAL: BBfanboy

Seriously - Wake is an atoll and likely has high forts. You need tanks and combat engineers to support the infantry. Tank Destroyers are also excellent when you get them. But even with a good mix of troops, if you get bad weather and a bad die roll it can still disable a lot of troops.

Moral to that story is beaching craft. You need them to assault atolls and ensure everything unloads IMMEDIATELY.
The Japanese have the landing bonus until April 01,1942, so lack of prep should not result in much loss during the landing. That bonus does not help with the battle though, whereas actual prep does.ORIGINAL: geofflambert
As the Japanese player, after the first week or two I sometimes sacrifice prepping for location because of Allied intelligence capabilities. Like Trump, I want to be unpredictable. [:'(]
