A couple of turns ago you could probably have retaken Calcutta but you took Sumatra instead. Not sure I understand why. Unless my calculation was wrong?

I decided not to hold it because I only narrowly had the odds, and I was worried about you gambling and then succeeding. I also thought that I would have great odds on the counter attack. I did, but decided not to go for that on the low chance that it would have been a disaster. In committing air to it, I might end up in a situation where you would have a plausible chance to take Tokyo. I’m playing overly cautious in the Pacific, but it is just because I’m fairly certain I should have the victory conditions in Europe shortly.

Actually that could be quite prudent. Although that assumes that you will indeed have the European victory.
