You're changing the subject Krusty. This thread is about Operation Hailstone and your objections have run out of steam.
If you wined the clock back one week, before history had the Japanese removing their assets, and install our CiC, then you comply with history.
They expected an attack, which is why they removed their assets, so you don't get to call it a sneak attack.
In every aspect this could be a snapshot, if not a FSO or Scenario.
Your objections are unfounded, and your negativity is uncalled for.
No, the subject is the same: Balance. Balance without having to resort to 100% fantasy situations. I was only using DGS as a good example.
Might as well ask "What would Midway have been like without the Japanese carriers?" or "What would D-Day have been like if the LW upped 1,000 fighters and had a turkey shoot on the C-47s?"
Again, there are far far far too many actually historical setups to bother making up fake ones, IMO.
