What to do with British fighter off of India?

Except in JSP and U-505’s game :-)

multiple fighters? uk should b happy if they take out 1 because statistically it is 1/6 so if they only get to fire 4 shots thats less i cant do math but japan can take it on J1 if they realy wanted to … they could sacrifice fighters if they r desperate and if you didn’t take out the transport there is no need for fighter sacrifice because you can send in 4 inf nd a bomber

@Infantry:

Well of course you take out the transport. With the destroyer it’s 6/7 to succeed. With the carrier as well (and frankly I see no better purpose for the carrier) it’s 100%.

If you leave 4 infantry in india and Japan attacks with 2 infantry 4 fighters we have and preserves 1 infantry to take India we have:
Attacker wins 71%
Expected casualties:
None 5%
1In  13%
1 ftr 2%
1In 1 ftr 14%
2 ftr 1%
1In 2 ftr 17%
1In 3 ftr 12%
1In 4 ftr 7%
2In 4ftr 29%

Assuming no possible counter that’s an expectation of
-26.83 Japaneese losses
+10.5 British losses
+4.38 expected territory gains
= -11.95 IPC for the Japaneese

And that doesn’t  include forgoing Pearl Harbor which is something like ~+20 for the japaneese. I would be more than happy to give up any strategic advantages India has for such a huge economic windfall.

Better use for the carrier would be to save it to eventually be used to carry the fighter to maybe go island hopping when japanese fleet is distracted by the US. and i dont know wut yur numbers mean exactly but 3 ipcs is one less infantry that britain can build and 1 more that japan can build so if -11.95 IPC is wutever u say it is it will pay for itself in 4 turns but there is also the luck factor and everything which is the reason why you can’t only go by math

Always remember any defense of India means UK is giving up 6-9 IPC in Africa, with a potential loss of up to 11 IPC’s if you add Madagascar and Trans-Jordan.

Madagascar usually is not worth the cost to Germany, but Japan often claims it in Domination games.

I recapture Egypt too i’m just saying

Actually, it all depends on what happens with Germany’s turn.

If they fail to sink your submarine AND cannot close the canal.  What the heck, bring it into the Med!  Make yourself a nuissance!

I have found, in this game, that the allies have to suicide everything they got every round against Germany to prevent them from ever keeping the units they make.  Cost them 1 or 2 a round and you’ll bleed them out like a stuck pig.  (Allies as in England/America, not Russia.)  Then use Russia as a bolstering agent.

Germany only gets 40 a round.  You can easily knock that down to the low 30’s which means England is tit for tat with Germany.  America is coup de grau and Russia is just iceing.

Germany: 35:
England: 25
America: 25
Russia: 25

75 to 35.  Even on defense, that’s 75 to 70, allies favor.  (Doubling since infantry defend twice as good as they attack…usually safer to figure it that way.)  I also assume America’s only putting 50% in since it takes time to get up to full capacity.  And that England got knocked around a little by Japan. (No India, no Persia, no Trans-Jordan.)

Then again, if Germany does average or well, then put it up in Bury.  Make those Japs keep something, or make something to protect those transports of his.  Heck, at the very least it means Russia won’t loose Bury on round 1, right?  That’s gotta count for something.

But iwth a significant fleet in the Med for England, you secure Africa and, if you put an IC in Africa, you can harass the southern border.  If you want too.  Or just build up to invade Europe by way of Caucasus
