Thanks for the AACalc suggestion. I used it heavily in trying to devise a way to save my Atlantic fleet. I didn’t think one submarine would make that much of a difference, but I was wrong.
Japan’s Turn!

Use multiple tabs with AACalc and label each ‘scenario’. Deep games with Germany require me to keep a dozen active ‘scenarios’ going in particular with a mixed British US fleet sitting in Sz5. They can do a 1-2 amphibious attack on WEu, Ger and EEu from there. EEu can be hit with US tanks in Nwy once Britain kicks the door in at Kar……
One thing to also do is run a scenario for just 1 round. Just because on average you are good on defense…if you have a bad round 1 the attack keeps pressing so its often wise to run the scenario 1 round, see what you look like after a bad round on defense say, lower 20-21% range, then run 1000 runs from there and look at the averages.

I wrote an article many months ago about a Brasil IC. Efficient tranpost Sz23>22>23 to drop guys off. Susceptible to axis air power, bomers in TrJ or worse Egy can mess with that requiring fleet defense.
Sometimes a two front war can help split the enemy forces into manageable chunks, but sometimes it means you have two forces 80% strong enough to do the job.
