There is no way to hold India if Japan plays a capture Calcutta at all cost opening strategy. It will fall and Japan will get a bit more income. Meanwhile, they will not be able to control China and will be missing out on big income from Pacific islands. Celebrate if they are putting a huge fleet in SZ39 because ANZAC + China will have huge income for the foreseeable future.
Minor IC in W. India

I don’t think the UK can spare the IPCs, but…
Can UK build a minor IC in W. India, use European theater monies to build land units there, and then walk them east to slow Japan?
If so, this might be a viable strategy to hold off Japan until the cavalry come.

Good luck with that.
Maybe, when the Allies are already winning, this could speed up the end game. UK has too many other things to worry about.

Yes you can build a minor IC in West India with London’s money and send them to East India.
