I edited the previous post to correct some errors in the scoring system.

Here's what a Japan autovictory in 1943 might look like. This is from my last game against the AI, right before an auto-victory end on 1 January 1943. VP is 4.5 to 1.



So in terms of territory, this is all of the southern resource area, all of Burma and starting to get into India, China is essentially completely conquered except for one last fortress city, and Japan controls the Solomons all the way south to Noumea.

What you really can't see here is the extent of the damage to Allied units. Sunk ships and destroyed army units, each on their own, are accounting for more points than territory. The Allies essentially have no navy, merchant marine, or available troops at this point. So consider this a minimum for how much they'd need to hold for a 1943 auto-victory.
