If the US player isn't attacked, they need to consider two things: 1. How good is the Japanese player; and 2. How good is the German player. The US is probably the most crucial player, in my opinion. Unfortunately, they are at the largest disadvantage since their entire force (East and West) are so far from battle. The US needs to decide to devote IPC's to Germany or Japan. It's your call. I've seen it work out in both cases for the better and for the worse. It depends COMPLETELY on who you are playing | |

Obviously the it's insufficient to defeat Japan's on the first turn, and even with the addition of the battleship and transport it's not much stronger. Couple that with the fact the fleets defend better than they attack, and I'm not sure how much havoc it can wreak. At most, I've seen the US pick up a couple of infantry and go around stealing piss-ant South Pacific islands. Annoying surely, but perhaps worth the additional good lead Japan gets by focusing it's first turn energy on the continent. Not convinced yet. | |
