Without the posibility to manage production, I don't know how making a Japanese commerce raiding efficient? There are too much variable and uncertity on this front so I guess that keeping to hisotical doctrine should be kept with the actual game focus.

Second, I said that submarine where interesting true. But how to keep the game simple with the submarine? Actualy the game assumme the sbmarine are as successful as they were historically. On which aspect (beside OIl supply that can be refine for that) will you impact submarine? Will you play submarine as bonus unit or would the players (or only the US) have to deploy them on the map to plan its campaign?

More choices/options are always better. Limiting it only to historical would limit replayability.

Hello.
It is possible to win against Japan with attack (raid) the 6 bases with oil (Java to Formose). You must attack Home Islands at each turn : much boats of Japan must stay in Home Islands.
You must absolutely invade Java, Singapore, Luzon, Leyte and Borneo. But you must do that before march 1944. And the US gamer have a big problem : no enough Amphib groups ! When you invade, Japan come back with amphib and invade after you ! I use directly my amphib to receive new amphib in reinforcments.
But no always possible : when you receive 8 amphib and Japan 21... !
I prefer personnaly win with this attack but very difficult.
If US receive more amphib, it would be better.
However, you may win with attack by B-29.
I do this, but it is less pleasant.
The solution : a patch who give more amphib to US.
Submarine possibility is may be an other solution.
Regards, Romuald, Belgium.

would strongly prefer to be able to experiment with different sub strategies.

Hi all,

I won my very first game in 11/1944 playing whack-a-mole with all the Japanese oil bases. It might have been six months sooner but I lost a bunch of shiny new Essex CV's when I stupidly closed to surface engagement range around Java.

A very fun romp and I lost three hours of real time just having to have "one more turn," before heading out to paint my garage.

I'm sure the AI will hand me my head to me when I switch sides for the first couple of games.

-Charleston
