Is this because 2 FIG from SZ 61 sunk the DD/TRN on J1 (99% win), as well as Borneo and E Indies falling.
That is a given. I assume that the Axis sinks as much fleet as possible, which means that Egypt and Karelia can’t be taken first turn.
who cares about Egypt and Karelia 1st turn in terms of how does this affect Japan/Pacific actions… First off, how do 4 Jap fighters affect Karelia? I’ll give you benefit of the doubt and assume you meant some other territory. Secondly, take Egypt turn 2.
my point is that there is no Allied ships off India to help protect your turn 2 UK builds there.
@LuckyDay:
Then on J2, Australia was lost as well as the 4 FIG in FIC sinking the CV/BB/TRN off India while not building any ground troops to protect the IC?
4 Fighters vs. CV/BB will end with all 4 Fighters dead, and the CV/BB still alive. You have a spare Fighter in India anyways most likely.
4 FIG vs CV/BB is 28% chance 3 fighters left, 68% 2 fighters left. ran it 10,000 times.
If you moved a fighter to India it didn’t land on the Carrier, but in India, that won’t affect the sea battle. Not that it matters, since you were so concerned about not taking Egypt, that fighter you would have most likely left there to defend.
