for the starting bonuses, notice that you get armies for holding two of one type of plane

The bonus for having 2 planes in a group should be reduced from +3 to +1.
Ford Island is the key to winning. It's far to easy to defend and once you get it all you have to do is work clockwise around the island to win. The one-way attacks from Hanger A and Control Tower out to the ships should be two-way. The bonus for Ford Island is effectively +7 with the 2 AA batteries. I think this is too high.
Controlling any one of the battleships West Virginia, Oklahoma, or Tennessee cuts the map in half. There should be another way to work around this bottleneck.
I love the AA attacks. I think the AA batteries should have more targets.

If you can get the dry dock and the cruisers you get a 8 bonus. the whole southern area of that map has the best opportunity for bonuses and is relatively easy to defend.
The oil field is a good choice because it has the AA gun to take out the planes of players that might be menacing your control of the oil yards.
If you can manage to get the naval yard, oil yard and cruisers you will have a great chance of winning the game. you should have at the very least 24 armies per turn and if you have Oklahoma and Pennsylvania these will be the only two places you need to defend. The two AA guns will keep the other players from getting big plane bonuses.
I applaud anyone who has ever held Battleships for even a single turn.
Miners suck!
Destroyers are also a good start because of only two areas to defend as long as you have the four zero's to give you that extra 4 bonus giving you 10 total for just the mentioned.
Good luck to everyone on this map, take your time counting other players potential bonuses before deploying or attacking. many people find the bonuses too confusing to figure out and that will be their downfall.
