Firstly thanks guy's love the game and past series.
So i played as Axis +50 +1 xp
Made decent headway by slowly grinding out the Chinese at great cost over a long time, as America got a bit grumpy i scaled that back to more of a holding drain on them and set up for expansion.
All that was good But about the end of 41 i had a fleet of carriers and a few others over hawaii way looking to beat the pus out of an unexpecting USA. But of course, i was not at war with the US, so i could not see any American units there to attack. So i DOW (did the japs actually declare ??) and sure enough some BS and stuff suddenly appear and i can have at em.
There is no surprise element, attacks cost me much for little gain and i limp away thinking how i've just upset a monster and killed off half my flight crew for little gain.
I read hints about a scripted Pearl harbor event but no details...so what gives? how am i to trigger this event and why can't i just sneak attack the USA when i am good and ready.
if anyone has any ideas on this i'd love to hear from you, thanks
