I tried the shuck-shuck approach while playing US and moved my Pacific fleet to the Atlantic (Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbor). However, Japan then used its entire fleet to invade Western United States. I quickly fell (due to a blunder), which decided the game.

How could the Allies have maximized on Japan's abandonment of the mainland? The UK lost its Indian Ocean fleet and didn't have resources to build a new one. Mainland Asia eventually came under British control, but there wasn't a chance to take Japan itself.

Germany destroyed the UK fleet on its first turn, then immediately followed the Japanese invasion of the US by destroying the entire American navy. Japan's navy sailed through the Panama Canal and captured London. Russia was still barely holding off Germany.

Some other information about the board state:

Germany destroyed the UK fleet on its first turn, then immediately followed the Japanese invasion of the US by destroying the entire American navy. Japan's navy sailed through the Panama Canal and captured London. Russia was still barely holding off Germany.

I just started playing A&A 1941. While playing the US, I've tried employing the shuck-shuck. I moved my Pacific fleet to the Atlantic (Japan didn't try a Pearl attack). However, Japan then used its entire fleet to invade the West US. I quickly fell (due to a blunder), which decided the game.

How could the Allies have taken advantage of Japan's all of Japan's resources going to invade the US? The UK had quickly lost it's small fleet around the Indian ocean and didn't have the resources to build a new one. They were able to take mainland Asia, but didn't have a chance to take Japan itself.

The UK's Atlantic fleet was completely destroyed on Germany's first turn. The round after Japan invaded West US, Germany attacked my shuck-shuck navy and obliterated it. Germany's navy was pretty much crushed, but Japan's navy sailed through the panama canal, and successfully invaded London. Russia was still barely holding off Germany.
