@Young:
…American should also be prepared with their navy situated to move in case Japan brings the US into the war early. If the goal is to liberate London or even threaten the German fleet once at war, I suggest going to sea zone 106 instead of 91… there are fewer opportunities for the Axis to use blockers and stall the overall mission.
With the aim of liberating London, I understand moving the navy to sz106, but I can’t see a liberation happening until US4-5 (at least, certainly not on US3). What I was trying to understand is how it would be possible to destroy the Germany navy at sz110 in US3 (immediately after a capture of London).
