I think the fleet idea is interesting but unnecessarily. Instead think of moving the remaining battleship and destroyer out of pacific and start building an aircraft carrier or (2), and planes, 3-4 subs, and lots of transports. In 2-3 three turns you can get one of those pieces of papers that has a number with a circle around it, you know the ones that represent the bulk of your fleet? And since Germany can never have anymore of a fleet than three-five subs and a battleship in the mediterranean, with British building its own carrier, battleship, etc. in 1-2 turns. For America, any landing on turn either three or four on algeria is unquestioned, by turn four or five six to seven transports carrying at least six tanks and six infantry lands on algeria. Put fleet next to Algeria accept the transports next to Algeria. Even if Germany wants to bomb with the planes and attack with subs and 1 battleship, it is no match against the (1 or 2) Aircraft carriers with supporting ships. And on turn 5-6, an attack on western france is assured with upward of 8-9 tanks and 10-12 infantry. By that time, Germany is already on the defensive from Britains bombing of IPCs and Russia’s counteroffensive in Norway and Belorussia. Nothing can stop this especially if the British fleet remains near India and the Japanese never meets with the Germany fleet in the Mediterranean. Even then US can decide to go up North instead of Operation Torch, do Operation Overlord from Britain. Still capitulates Germany in the end.

RE: Favorite Country
Japan is the easiest country to hold on to and win with. She has in the pacific, two carriers and at least three planes to escort those carriers on turn 1! The only way it can lose is if German capitulates first!
