Well what about the Allies? And the US? you may ask. They beat the Japanese fleet historically, so they shouldnt have trouble cleaning out the Abyssals that represent the Japanese navy, and cleaning out the Pacific Theater right? Well you are... Technically... the US did beat the Japanese, but not because the Japanese used thier planned strategy, because according to Japanese strategy, for those of you who remained awake in history class, the plan was NOT to stop at Pearl Harbor. The plan was to continue on to the California coast line and take out the then much smaller US navy, becuae (also mentioned in history class) the US production machine did not kick up UNTIL the US offically entered WWII. Before that the US was in the Depression, factories wheren't activly producing ships. The entire reason the US overproduced ships like that was to replace all the ships lost at Pearl Harbor, and then to have enough ships to fight back the Japanese, had Admiral Yamoto (the Admiral in charge of the Pearl Harbor attacks) moved on, instead of deciding to pull back to resupply his fleet, the war in the Pacific could have gone on ALOT longer.

 Source please? Nothing I've read on WW2 says that Japan planned to take the war to the US mainland. That was not an official plan of the IJN/IJA, instead it was an argument filed by the admirals who were against becoming allies with Germany and Italy. He even spelled Admiral Yamamoto (not Yamoto) wrong.
