My first game with Stars&Stripes (max. Bonus only to Japan) went pretty well. Well, as many already said, Japan declared war on me in November, therefore no "Day of Infamy" decision. I don't know if further decisions or events are connected to this, but the time of a surprise attack of japan seems to me irrelevant. Maybe this could be fixed. To everything else I must say: Great work! Japan successfully invaded Wake, Midway, the Philippines, Guam, Guadalcanal (but not the rest of the Solomons?) and even Darwin in Australia. Normally, I#ve got a house rule of not moving any garrison units or ships into the PTO before the Japanese attack, but I did it in this game, with 3xGar/1xArt on every US island with a port and a full corps of four infantry divisions commanded by MacArthur to support the Phillipine Army. This didn't stop the Japanese conquest. But my massive CV buildup is taking its toll now, with many Japanese CVs and Transports destroyed. Japanese Army has taken Malaysia, Burma and already a big chunk of India, even landing in Colombo. But sureprsingly the leave out most of Indonesia, just the British part of Borneo.
All in all: A very good job!
