Will probably do tomorrow but i am confused by what we need to actually protect i hope ET doesnt give us a failure screen if one battleship goes down otherwise this looks downright impossible. Hopefully someone can confirm this worry of mine Edit: just realized it doesnt show on the image but those elite units are objectives(?) that we have to protect i assume from sinking

I presume all targets with red circles should be protected.

Im going to do Marshall Trial first and see if I get one more HMS Prince of Wales frag to level up and use in Pearl Harbor. Think I'll load the sea with boats, and make two combined fleets to see how it goes. I dont see another way to protect the ports. Ill think on it more😊

Just did hard mode. Funny enough the enemy buffs aren’t rlly much of an obstacle rather its the japanese pilot gen who comes by round 5(i think) that judges whether or not you pass the level lol

It is a famous Mitsuo Fuchida, btw. I predicted that we'll see him sooner or later. The irony is that he will become USA citizen and a pious Catholic eventually

Just did normal. Was pretty easy. I build plenty of air defense with my spare funds to protect my navy along the cost from Akagi raids. How many troops spawn from the fortresses on hard mode?

As it was pointed out Fuchida is the main threat because he can ignore air defense with 60% of probability and kill one of your general in his turn if not dealt with. It is rather easy to defend the east from invading troops because you basically need to cover 3 squares. It is just Maginot line on a smaller scale. So, if you can kill Fuchida the rest is manageable. The spamming is heavy enough though.

Did anyone completing this f2p on hard kill/rumor-stun any non-Fuchida carriers? I can’t get past round 26.

Yes, I had Leeb (3xHow) and Konev (3xRA) as well as Darlan (elite sub) and Donitz (3xsub) dedicated to stunning and killing Fuchida asap. The submarine generals then went west, joined with Horton (3x sub) and locked down the western carriers. All generals mentioned with the exception of Darlan had rumor lv5.

When is it safe to put Chennault in the northern city? When the western carriers go south? I’ve been putting him in the southern city where I’ve expected him to die in short time.

He was a talented pilot but his skills and carrier make him like he was the grand admiral of the IJN fleet

I put him on the 3xmoto_inf close to Kapolei and had him occupy the city for several turns (also gave him the great soldier medal) until Mikawa arrived, then skytrain to the north. There he recovered but was ultimately sniped by one of the carriers (Nagumo most probably). Next time I'd put him in the center and have Dowding take his place.
At Kapolei, I kept spawning light inf to distract Mikawa. The western carriers kept attacking the submarines I built from the two central ports.
And I don't know the exact turn but in my turn16 screenshot, Zuikaku and Yamaguchi were already in the SW area while Nagano just started moving.
