@Hansolo88 said in Pacific so small:

I mostly just find it frustrating that US can’t move ships from E Coast to UK in 1 turn even with Naval Base bonus. It discourages historical outcomes, and encourages ahistorical outcomes (US building up forces on the tiny rock of Gibraltar instead). It’s one of my biggest complaints with the 1940 board, alongside Northern Italy being able to nonsensically access Central France.

US can chose to go from canada to the UK in 1 turn.
It also is unclear what a turn is really because some moves especially air are really weird.

Yea building up in north afrika or gibraltar is a bit wierd but that is because gibraltar is a lot closer to italy then it should be. And still close to norway and normandy.

It the same thing with the pacific where you can ignore the island mostly. A bomber from midway can get to nearly everywhere in the pacific. In reality it was a lot harder to bomb japan.

@PGsquig said in Anyone ever used Ceylon?:

@dazedwit When Calcutta falls, there is often no naval battle whatsoever. You would be better off spending the money on more infantry which will help your land defense rather than investing in infrastructure which will likely not be used. Any Anzac fighters can be used to defend the land territory of Calcutta and will have much more utility than if they were used in a sea battle.

Even if there were a naval battle before an amphibious assault on Calcutta, only if the UK Pacific’s navy is large enough to nearly win a battle against the Japanese navy would a second airbase be useful. If your UK Pacific navy is strong enough to stand toe-to-toe with the Japanese navy, either something disastrous has happened to the Japanese navy (in which case the Allies probably have the game in the bag) or you have nearly no UK Pacific land units (in which case the Japanese army will walk their way to Calcutta and ignore your boats).

Depends if Germany does something really weird you might be able to afford pulling the med navy back to india. If your pacific fleet consists of 3 destroyer 2 cruiers 1 BB and loaded carrier adding another 6 planes to the defence might really make it hard to japan to overcome that. IT wont be a walk in the park.

It could be something like letting 110 survive and then when you group at gibraltar having bad dice and losing the italian navy for no real damage to the UK navy.

But then again japan can then just dont invade and first take out the fleet and then a turn later invade anyway.

@Stucifer RE: bloodbath…wow!

Re: scramble for sub/transports. That’s what I thought the rule was, but the game asked for a scramble option so I thought maybe something had changed since I played last. It hadn’t come up in @mikawagunichi 's game.

@FlyingBadger I’ll give you a game if you want. Hopefully my losing record will be enough to lure you in.
