You are correct about a couple of things: (a) I probably should save one or two CVs in the battle for SZ 38 (but did not even consider a follow-up attack) and (b) taking Sumatra would not have prevented the US aircraft from FIC attacking 38. What it would have prevented is the 2 fighter from SZ 20 joining the attack because there would have been only 10 landing spots on the 5 US CVs. This ( think) changed the US odds of winning from less than 50% to about 75%. Apparently, I forgot about these two fighters when I did my final combat calculation; a bad mistake.

@Amon-Sul yes, axis got good hits but the allies managed to conquer Norway and sunk the German fleet, that was the main goal. Hoped that the US do the job, but now they might focus totally on Japan for the next round/s ;-)
