    Is it possible to win? There seems to be perpetual bombers out of no where and regenerated infantry...

      It's possible (but not easy) to limit the Japanese to a beachhead in Northern Australia. Some of my playtesters even managed to kick them out entirely
      However, IMHO a more realistic goal is to aim for an objective points win in week 52.

        I was going to ask you if it is a challenging scenario there seems to be really few japanese units but I see that is a hard one,

          Those bloody Betty bombers! Little did I realise that if the Japanese clear out that airbase near Rockhampton, then the Betties regenerate there after one dies! Being stuck with an inexhaustable supply of enemy units right next to your front line is not pleasant!

              Most history books write that Japan never had a chance of invading North America, and the Japanese never even thought about doing so. Still, the same really applies to a Japanese invasion of Australia

              There's definetly the makings of a good scenario in a Japanese invasion of America (perhaps combined with German invasion of the East Coast?), and there's some very nice maps of the US on Mercators website.
              I hope this means that you haven't abandoned your WW1 scenario though...

                How do you kick the Japanese out if each time you kill one they get reincarnated into a fortress or airbase?

                    3rd attempt to post. This site really doesn't like me very much today.

                    SSI's Pacific General features an Invasion of the US West coast as the final scenario on the Japanese side. From what I remember about it this assumed the Pacific war went much more in favour of the IJN than it really did (No hiccup at Midway for starters ) and was an attempt to neutralize San Diego and the Pacific Fleet for once and all, but it could make a good starting point.

                      This scenario was inspired by the invasion of Australia scenario in Pacific General (and, IMHO, it's a hell of a lot better)

                              Thanks. I'll PM Mark and notify him.

                              In the meanwhile, the scenario can be downloaded from Civfanatics here: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2scenmod.shtml

                                it's an error you might get at busy times

                                just hit refresh

                                eventually, it works
