Besides Fuchida, Nagumo has been altered to have guaranteed air attacks that ignore AA defences and a useless skill that compells a nearby aircraft carrier to attack when he attacks by air.
Fuchida bombed Konev (3× RA) and the SSE port, forcing a turn 9 loss. Looks like a desperate charge to take him out might be necessary.

I got to round 26 of hard mode. Both medics and Chennault sniped. Will try once more later. Will building air defenses on Battle ship Row help? I think ill need 15 heroes for this one😊.

I had some good success with spamming single subs in our bases inside the Harbour. Nagumo kinda only focused them, in my gameplay. The renamed battleships were pretty undamaged.

stoic, how did your Konev avoid getting bombed? Fuchida attacked the SE city, Konev, and the port to its SW.

Generals If a port is occupied Fuchida will attack it first. So, it is very important to disable him as soon as possible.

I suspect that the port of Pearl Harbour had been captured, which led to my loss on the final turn. No-Chennault run. Had to resort to keeping high HP Doenitz in the SSW port with admirals as shields. Then, summoned 1× heavy tank in the NW city once Leeb, Guderian, and Rommel fell in this order while the line was destroyed. (There is a bypass in the mountains, by the way. Couldn't distract Mikawa at all. Losing Kimmel(?) leads to the enemy getting a morale up. Also, Yamamoto has Darlan's special skill. No wonder I couldn't stun him. But Nagumo was still too far away.

Got it done on 2nd try. 1st was yesterday, think I used 10 gens and realized i could use 12 when i studied jonblend's maps of his victory. Used pretty much the same strategy as I did in 1st combined with Jonblend's...and this time i managed to keep both medics alive which helped immensely. Thanks Jb. I put Konev on 3xRA used to ambush Fuchida with Rumor, Kluge (killed late by carelessness) on 3x Howitzer in NW, Along with Guderian on a Tiger in same area. I used. Montgomery on IS3 near center, north of battleships and built a few bunkers. And used Simo on Hawkeye to help konev vs Fuchida and Mikawa? At sea, 2 Carriers, Yamamoto and Nimitz near Battleship row, Horton, Donitz and Darlan on subs, using one elite and both 3x stacked.
Dowding on 2xhowitzer at kapolai, until he was killed, late in the game, used medic on him once or twice.... And Chennault was in the Center near Monty on the 3x Mech inf that spawns nearby.
So 5 land defenders, 5 sea attackers, and 2 for resources.
I spawned Darlan on type VII in port furthest east, Donitz on 3xsub, and with Konev lurking near by I cleared the area east of Harbor and by round 5 Fuchida made his presence known. Meanwhile, i continued spawning singles, and the aforementioned gens and elite units. While making use of the Enterprise in the 1st round, and both, continuously.
Once Fuchida was sunk, i left a perimeter of subs east, and went west with Donitz, Darlan, and Horton who ignored everything to focus on the ACs bearing down on the Harbor from the West. Yamamoto never came down, instead he changed course for the Northern beaches. Monty, and later joined by Konev, did a bang up job keep landfall at bay. By round 25, my map looked very manageable similar to jonblends and i knew then it was in the bag. Kluge is too slow on howitzer to be of any real help and is vulnerable, but resource are a premium and had to use what was available. Funds grew in late rounds as i beat back the onslaught. Maybe i can deploy an elite tank and gen or even Helfrich next time. Thanks

This one is definitely one of the tougher endurance events.

In the latest Version on hard with the buff to remove the rumour it was a little harder, at the start, to get fuchida stunned. After that and a double layered sub defense in the east, it was manageable.

After that and a double layered sub defense in the east, it was manageable. Not really much harder since the perk doesn't work when Fuchida gets flanked. Just a little harder on the positioning.

1. Spawning Donitz on lvl 5 Richlieu, Darlan on VII Sub in ambush on Fuchida. Enterprise with Nimitz/Yamamoto since it gets two attacks (bomber/fighter) same round used on nearest subs to Pearl. Helfrich on double stack cruiser.
2. Konev or any rumor skilled Arty.commamnder, mobility, red and blue ribbons, at the ready to charge in with excellence medal for Fuchida.
3. I also just recently unlocked the Typhoon. I learned to spawn it quickly, used my Rundstedt, nuked their type vii with one nuke, so as to have two by the time Fuchida shows.
He is their lynch pin. I also place one air defense by NE port.
Once Ive sunk Fuchidas carrier, i set a vertical defense perimeter, and send all heroes west, focusing on enemy carriers and securing area south of my SW city (my naval jump off point for the west). Most enemy navy turns west instead of continuing south through fuchida route.
The beach landings are handled by Konev and at least one other Tank general.
Horton has explosives, ideal for Wales, not so much vs ships but this wont matter much if you get Darlan with wolfpack on sub, and Donitz on Richlieu, working in a pack.
I saw Mikawa, i like him and am considering getting him. He has nightwatch, a buyable skill now, which best serves destroyers, and cruisers. I wouldn't use this skill on a sub. His wolfpack skill is also ideal for this event.
