  1. Something for your next Alternative History. I have a scenarios with regards Midway and Hawaii. Firstly Attack Pearl Harbour as before, this time making sure they destroy the fuel storage tanks. Then fall back on Midway to support the invasion forces. The advantage of this is that the US Navy is going to have to sort out its ships before it can intervene and without fuel it is not going to be able to go very far. You could put a submarine screen between Midway and Hawaii to act as an early warning for the carriers ind any ships trying to intervene. Then after the Japanese take Midway it can then be used it as a jumping off point for Hawaii. This would have put Hawaii in range for an invasion fleet and with many US Navy ships out of commission or possibly having to pull back to the mainland there would be less opposition. Japanese submarines positioned to the east of Hawaii could deal with any warship coming or going with a priority in sinking tankers. Then the third stage would be the invasion of Hawaii. The advantage with this scenario is you will not need to split your forces as at the Battle of Midway. Yes it will be in two parts initially but the attack on Midway will involve all of the forces as no diversion would be needed. Done quickly enough there would be little time for the US forces to recover from the attack on Pearl Harbour. Though it would be a major commitment from Japanese forces it would prove much harder for America to be the threat it became to Japan.
