What will be most interesting is to see how and when John uses his carriers.

I believe John will ultimately choose to fight. (And my words may set me up for a very public embarrassment soon for reasons I'll go into in about three or four turns.)
But what if the game ended this way: John keeps KB out of harm's way forever, conserving VPs while working hard to pick off the occasional Allied asset here and there; meanwhile, the strategic war increases dramatically with the Allies scoring tens of thousands of points while also attending to Japanese bases in the DEI...and ultimately the Allies achieve a 2:1 victory points ratio without anything else major happening in the game. Say that happens in June 1945. Would that be a Japanese victory of some kind because KB still existed and the Empire still existed in some form and fashion? Would it be an Allied victory because the Allies figured out how to win the game as defined by the rules?
John probably will fight, so I don't think that's going to happen. But it is one possibility.

Looks like they will see action in postwar Godzilla movies.

If John makes June of 1945 before autovic I call it a Japanese win, despite the huge amount of shipping he got.
It is my belief CR has it well within his ability to autovic prior to Mar 1, 1945. In fact I think Jan 1 1945 is doable.

Less movies and more bombing, please![;)]
I liked the the Lord of the Rings soundtrack from the Ralph Bakshi (?) animated movie from the late 70s.

You sure want to see an A-bomb used ... are you Kim Jong Un? [X(]ORIGINAL: AcePylut
Um the war ends when the Allies nuke Japan and force the Emperor to go on air and admit defeat.
So... you must nuke Japan or else the Allies lose. [:D]
