[QUOTE="darkwing, post: 5377567, member: 69001"] Like I said, I think he panicked. He was off balance and unwilling to change his original plan of grabbing the income producing islands and hitting the Indian fleet. The US was close enough to get to Tokyo on the next turn but they couldn't actually invade until Japan declared war. When he decided to go to war anyway, America attacked Iwo Jima (Japan being too well defended with its air power and smaller fleet to risk attacking directly). With the use of Kamakazis Japan was able to hurt the American fleet but not wipe it out and the Americans landed troops in Iwo Jima (the Northern Japanese fleet was busy defending Japan itself). Then the N. Jap fleet (with air support) sank the American fleet at Iwo Jima. The Americans then counterattacked this fleet with bombers and wiped it out. Then the game was over. I believe America would have been able to hold Iwo Jima, or in the worse case at least trade infantry for Japanese air units, buying precious time for India and China. Also by this time America had sent a token force to start taking back Africa, which would have disrupted Axis income in Europe. If at any time Russia looked like it needed help then America would have delayed the Japan invasion to build and send boatloads of troops to the European theater to put pressure back on Germany and Italy. Basically, weakness in either Axis country's play means they can't win. America is just too able to exploit vulnerabilities in either theater. [/QUOTE]
